Description

organic light-emitting diode

[0001] The present invention relates to a tandem type organic light emitting device including a plurality of light emitting layers, and more specifically, to an organic light emitting device including a novel charge generation layer (CGL).

[0002] The technology of organic light emitting devices (OLEDs), one of the currently widely used flat panel display devices, is developing rapidly.

[0003] In general, an organic light-emitting device has an organic thin film layer including a light-emitting layer formed between an anode (hole injection electrode) and a cathode (electron injection electrode), and has a principle of emitting light when holes injected from the anode and electrons injected from the cathode pair up in the light-emitting layer and then disappear.

[0004] More specifically, the organic light-emitting device is configured to include an organic thin film layer formed between an anode and a cathode, and the organic thin film layer may be configured to include a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light-emitting layer, an electron transport layer, and an electron injection layer sequentially laminated on the anode, and holes injected from the anode and electrons injected from the cathode combine in the light-emitting layer to form excitons, which enter an unstable energy state (excited state) and then return to a stable ground state to emit light.

[0005] In the development of organic light-emitting devices, high efficiency, long lifespan, color purity, color stability according to changes in current and voltage, and ease of device manufacturing are important, so research and development are in progress according to each method. The structure of organic light-emitting devices can be broadly divided into a single-layer light-emitting structure with one light-emitting layer and a multilayer light-emitting structure with two or more light-emitting layers. Among these, a tandem structure of a multilayer light-emitting structure that stacks two or more light-emitting layers is mainly adopted for organic light-emitting devices with long lifespan.

[0006] Meanwhile, an organic light-emitting device having a tandem structure such as this is provided with a charge generation layer (CGL) between the light-emitting layers to double the current efficiency generated in the light-emitting layer and to facilitate charge distribution. This charge generation layer is a layer that generates charges, that is, electrons and holes, and performs the role of preventing an increase in the driving voltage by doubling the current efficiency generated in the light-emitting layer and facilitating charge distribution. This charge generation layer is generally composed of a P-type charge generation layer and an N-type charge generation layer.

[0007] If charge transport is disrupted or current leakage occurs due to differences in energy levels in these charge-generation layers, the amount of electrons transported to other light-emitting layers decreases, leading to a gradual increase in operating voltage and a negative impact on lifespan. Therefore, with the growing demand for high-performance devices, the development of charge-generation layers is also becoming increasingly necessary.

[0008] The purpose of the present invention is to lower the driving voltage and improve the efficiency and lifespan by introducing a novel charge generation layer (CGL) into a tandem organic light-emitting device including a plurality of light-emitting layers.

[0009] The present invention relates to a tandem organic light-emitting device, comprising: a first electrode and a second electrode; a plurality of light-emitting portions positioned between the first electrode and the second electrode; and a charge generation layer positioned at at least one position between two adjacent light-emitting portions; wherein at least one of the charge generation layers includes an N-type charge generation layer and a P-type charge generation layer, and the N-type charge generation layer includes a first compound represented by the following chemical formula 1.

[0010]

[0011] In the above chemical formula 1,

[0012] L1 to L4 are each independently a direct bond, a substituted or unsubstituted arylene group, or a substituted or unsubstituted heteroarylene group,

[0014] m and p are each independently integers from 0 to 4,

[0015] n and o are each independently integers from 0 to 3,

[0016] However, m+n+o+p is greater than or equal to 1.

[0017] The present invention introduces a novel charge generation layer (CGL) into a tandem organic light-emitting device comprising a plurality of light-emitting layers, thereby enabling the implementation of low voltage, high efficiency, and long lifespan. More specifically, by applying a 4,5-diazaspirobifluorene compound to the N-type charge generation layer and introducing a charge generation layer comprising a compound containing one or more tertiary amines to the P-type charge generation layer, the present invention has the effects of lowering the driving voltage and improving efficiency and lifespan.

[0044] The present invention relates to a tandem organic light-emitting device, and relates to a tandem organic light-emitting device that can be included in a display device applied to various electronic devices such as mobile communication terminals such as mobile phones, PDAs, electronic dictionaries, PMPs, remote controls, navigation systems, game consoles, various TVs, and various computers.

[0045] The present invention will be described in detail below.

[0046] The present invention relates to a tandem organic light-emitting device comprising a first electrode, a second electrode, a plurality of light-emitting portions positioned between the first electrode and the second electrode, and a charge generation layer positioned at at least one position between two adjacent light-emitting portions, wherein at least one of the charge generation layers comprises a first compound represented by the following chemical formula 1.

[0047] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of light-emitting units means two or more light-emitting units, and since the charge generation layer is respectively positioned at one or more locations between two adjacent light-emitting units, when there are two light-emitting units, there is one charge generation layer, when there are three light-emitting units, there are two charge generation layers, and when there are four light-emitting units, there can be three charge generation layers. That is, when the number of light-emitting units is n, the number of charge generation layers can be n-1 (n is 2 or more), and at least one of the n-1 charge generation layers can include the first compound represented by Chemical Formula 1.

[0048] Hereinafter, the tandem organic light-emitting device according to the present invention will be described in more detail.

[0049] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an organic light-emitting device according to one embodiment of the present invention, and specifically, a schematic diagram showing a tandem organic light-emitting device having two light-emitting parts.

[0050] As illustrated in FIG. 1, an organic light-emitting device (1000) according to an embodiment of the present invention may be configured to include a first electrode (100), a second electrode (200), and an organic layer (300) positioned between the first electrode and the second electrode.

[0051] According to one embodiment, the first electrode (100) may be an anode electrode and the second electrode (200) may be a cathode electrode, or vice versa. Also, according to one embodiment, the first electrode (100) may be a transparent electrode and the second electrode (200) may be a reflective electrode, or vice versa.

[0052] The organic layer (300) is a layer positioned between the first electrode (100) and the second electrode (200) and includes one or more organic layers, and may be composed of two or more layers.

[0053] Specifically, the organic layer (300) may be configured to include a first light-emitting portion (310), a second light-emitting portion (320), and a charge generation layer (330) positioned between the first light-emitting portion (310) and the second light-emitting portion (320).

[0054] The first light-emitting portion (310) includes a first light-emitting layer (311). According to one embodiment, the first light-emitting layer (311) may include a host material and a dopant material.

[0055] In addition, the first light-emitting portion (310) may additionally include a first hole transport region (312) that transports holes to the first light-emitting layer (311) and a second electron transport region (313) that transports electrons to the first light-emitting layer (311).

[0056] The above first hole transport region (312) may be configured to include at least one of a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a hole functional layer, and an electron blocking layer. Here, the hole functional layer refers to a layer that simultaneously injects and transports holes. In addition, one or more auxiliary layers may be additionally included.

[0057] The above first electron transport region (313) may be configured to include one or more of an electron injection layer, an electron transport layer, an electron functional layer, and a hole blocking layer. Here, the electron functional layer refers to a layer that simultaneously injects and transports electrons. In addition, one or more auxiliary layers may be additionally included.

[0058] Meanwhile, the second light-emitting portion (320) also includes a second light-emitting layer (321) like the first light-emitting portion (310). According to one embodiment, the second light-emitting layer (321) may include a host material and a dopant material.

[0059] This second light-emitting portion (320) may also additionally include a second hole transport region (322) that transports holes to the second light-emitting layer (321) and a second electron transport region (323) that transports electrons to the second light-emitting layer (321).

[0060] The second hole transport region (322) may be configured to include at least one of a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a hole functional layer, and an electron blocking layer. The hole functional layer is omitted as it is the same as described above.

[0061] The second electron transport region (323) may be configured to include at least one of an electron injection layer, an electron transport layer, an electron functional layer, and a hole blocking layer. The electron functional layer is the same as described above and is therefore omitted.

[0062] Of course, both the second hole transport region (322) and the second electron transport region (323) may additionally include one or more auxiliary layers in addition to the aforementioned layers.

[0063] The tandem organic light-emitting device according to the present invention has a first light-emitting part (310) and a second light-emitting part (320) configured as described above, so that holes and electrons transferred from the first electrode (100) and the second electrode (200) meet in the first light-emitting layer (311) and the second light-emitting layer (321) to emit light.

[0064] Meanwhile, the charge generation layer (330) is positioned between two adjacent light-emitting parts (310, 320) and serves to increase the current efficiency of the light-emitting layer by smoothly distributing charges. Specifically, the charge generation layer (330) may be configured to include a P-type charge generation layer and an N-type charge generation layer to smoothly distribute charges. When the first electrode (100) is an anode electrode and the second electrode (200) is a cathode electrode, the layer (331) positioned close to the anode electrode becomes an N-type charge generation layer, and the layer (332) positioned close to the cathode electrode becomes a P-type charge generation layer.

[0065] Such an N-type charge generation layer and a P-type charge generation layer may be laminated in direct contact as shown in FIG. 1, or may be laminated with one or more layers between the N-type charge generation layer and the P-type charge generation layer. That is, although not shown in FIG. 1, the charge generation layer (330) may further include one or more layers positioned between the two layers (331, 332). According to one embodiment, a layer including a metal may be positioned between the N-type charge generation layer and the P-type charge generation layer.

[0066] Meanwhile, FIG. 1 illustrates a tandem organic light-emitting device having two light-emitting parts, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to a tandem organic light-emitting device including two light-emitting parts, and it is natural that a tandem organic light-emitting device including three, four, five or more light-emitting parts is also included in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0067] According to one embodiment, when the organic light-emitting device of the present invention includes three light-emitting parts, which are referred to as a first light-emitting part, a second light-emitting part, and a third light-emitting part, the charge generation layer may include a first charge generation layer positioned between the first light-emitting part and the second light-emitting part, and a second charge generation layer positioned between the second light-emitting part and the third light-emitting part. In addition, the first charge generation layer and the second charge generation layer may include an N-type charge generation layer and a P-type charge generation layer, respectively.

[0068] According to an embodiment, two or more light-emitting units or two or more charge-generation layers may be configured with the same structure or different structures. In addition, they may be configured with the same material or different materials. According to an embodiment, when a tandem organic light-emitting device includes three light-emitting layers and two charge-generation layers, the three light-emitting layers may be the same or different in structure or material, and the two charge-generation layers may also be the same or different in structure or material.

[0069] Meanwhile, although not illustrated in FIG. 1, the tandem organic light-emitting device of the present invention may additionally include a capping layer (also referred to as a light efficiency improvement layer) formed on the outer side of at least one of the first electrode (100) and the second electrode (200). Here, the outer side of the electrode means the outer side, not between the two electrodes, when the place where the organic layer exists between the two electrodes is referred to as the inner side of the electrode. According to one embodiment, it may mean the upper side of the second electrode (200) based on FIG. 1.

[0070] Meanwhile, in the tandem organic light-emitting device of the present invention, the first electrode, the second electrode, the light-emitting layer, the hole injection layer, the hole transport layer, the hole functional layer, the electron blocking layer, the electron injection layer, the electron transport layer, the electron functional layer, the hole blocking layer, and other auxiliary layers or capping layers are not particularly limited, and those known in the art can be used according to the role of each layer.

[0071] According to one embodiment of the present invention, at least one of the N-type charge generation layers has electron transport capability and includes a first compound represented by the following chemical formula 1.

[0072]

[0073] In the above chemical formula 1,

[0074] L1 to L4 are each independently a direct bond, a substituted or unsubstituted arylene group, or a substituted or unsubstituted heteroarylene group,

[0075] Ar1 to Ar4 are each independently selected from the group consisting of deuterium, halogen, cyano group, nitro group, nitrile group, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl group, substituted or unsubstituted alkynyl group, substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl group, substituted or unsubstituted heterocycloalkyl group, substituted or unsubstituted alkoxy group, substituted or unsubstituted sulfide group, substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl group, substituted or unsubstituted aryloxy group, substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryloxy group, substituted or unsubstituted thio group, substituted or unsubstituted amine group, substituted or unsubstituted silyl group, and substituted or unsubstituted phosphine oxide group,

[0076] m and p are each independently integers from 0 to 4,

[0077] n and o are each independently integers from 0 to 3,

[0078] However, m+n+o+p is greater than or equal to 1.

[0079] The 4,5-diazaspirobifluorene core of the first compound represented by the above chemical formula 1 prevents an increase in conjugation length by introducing an SP3 hybrid orbital carbon to the 1,10-phenanthroline core, which is widely used as an existing N-type charge generation layer, thereby reducing electron absorption and improving electron mobility, resulting in an increase in device efficiency and a decrease in operating voltage, and thus has characteristics more suitable for an N-type charge generation layer.

[0080] The N-type charge generation layer including the first compound has the effect of facilitating electron injection, thereby increasing electron injection into the electron transport layer and achieving a balance with the large amount of holes injected from the cathode.

[0081] Additionally, it has the effect of lowering the driving voltage of the device by lowering the energy barrier felt by electrons.

[0294] Comparative Example 1

[0295] After patterning the ITO substrate to be the anode so that the light-emitting area is 2 mm × 2 mm, it is cleaned with isopropyl alcohol and UV ozone, respectively. After that, the ITO substrate is mounted on the substrate holder of the vacuum deposition device and the vacuum level is 1 × 10 -7The pressure was set to 10 torr. Afterwards, plasma treatment was performed for 3 minutes under a N2 atmosphere. First, HAT-CN was vacuum-deposited to form a first hole injection layer with a thickness of 5 nm. On top of this, NPB material was vacuum-deposited to form a first hole transport layer with a thickness of 20 nm. Afterwards, GH-1 material was used as a host and GD-1 material was used as a dopant to form a 20 nm thick first green light-emitting layer by co-depositing at a mass ratio of approximately 10%. TmPyPb compound was vacuum-deposited on this first light-emitting layer to form a 20 nm thick first electron transport layer. Afterwards, Comparative Compound 1 was used as a host material and Li was used as a dopant to form a 2% mass ratio to form a 10 nm thick N-type charge generation layer. Afterwards, NPB was used as a host material and compounds 6-7 were used as dopant materials and co-deposited at a mass ratio of 10% to form a 5 nm thick P-type charge generation layer.

[0312] Example 5

[0316] The charge generation layers according to the previously produced comparative examples 1 to 4 and examples 1 to 6 are organized as shown in Table 2 below, and the structures of the compounds used in each are shown in detail in Table 3.

[0318]

[0319] Table 3

[0320]

[0321] The driving voltage, current efficiency, and lifespan of the organic light-emitting devices fabricated in this manner were evaluated. The results are shown in Table 4 below.

[0322] Table 4

[0323]

[0324] As shown in Table 4 above, the embodiments according to the present invention generally exhibited lower operating voltages and higher efficiency and lifespans than the comparative examples. This will be described in more detail below.

[0325] Comparative Examples 2 to 4 and Examples 1 to 3 only changed the N-type charge generation layer host, and Examples 1 to 3 showed lower voltage, higher efficiency, and longer lifespan than Comparative Examples 2 to 4. Specifically, Comparative Example 2 used a phenanthroline compound (Comparative Compound 1) as the N-type charge generation layer host, Comparative Example 3 used an azaspirobifluorene compound (Comparative Compound 2) having one nitrogen (N), and Comparative Example 4 used a 3,7-diazaspirobifluorene compound (Comparative Compound 3) having two nitrogens (N) applied to the 3 and 7 positions. Compared to these, Examples 1 to 3 using a 4,5-diazaspirobifluorene compound having two nitrogens (N) applied to the 4 and 5 positions showed lower voltage, higher efficiency, and longer lifespan. Through this, it can be seen that the compound according to the chemical formula 1 of the present invention having 4,5-diazaspirobifluorene as a core is more preferable for application as an N-type charge generation layer host, and that the combination with an amine compound used as a P-type charge generation layer host is also better.

[0326] Meanwhile, Examples 4 to 6 are the same as Examples 1 to 3, except that the P-type charge generation layer host was changed from Compound 5-1 to Compound 5-26. When Examples 1 and 4, Examples 2 and 5, and Examples 3 and 6 were compared with each other, Examples 4 to 6 showed relatively low voltage, high efficiency, and long lifespan. Through this, it can be seen that when the compound according to Chemical Formula 1 of the present invention is used as an N-type charge generation layer host, a P-type charge generation layer host that forms a more preferable combination therewith is an amine compound containing a fluorene group.

[0355] Comparative Example 9

[0356] After patterning the ITO substrate to be the anode so that the light-emitting area is 2 mm × 2 mm, it is cleaned with isopropyl alcohol and UV ozone, respectively. After that, the ITO substrate is mounted on the substrate holder of the vacuum deposition device and the vacuum level is 1 × 10 -7The pressure was set to 10 torr. Afterwards, plasma treatment was performed for 3 minutes under a N2 atmosphere. First, the HAT-CN compound was vacuum-deposited to form a first hole injection layer with a thickness of 5 nm. On top of this, the NPB material was vacuum-deposited to form a first hole transport layer with a thickness of 20 nm. Then, the GH-1 material was used as a host and the GD-1 material was used as a dopant and co-deposited to have a mass ratio of about 10% to form a green first light-emitting layer with a thickness of 20 nm. The TmPyPb compound was vacuum-deposited on this first light-emitting layer to form a first electron transport layer with a thickness of 20 nm. Afterwards, the Li material as a dopant was co-deposited to the host, Comparative Compound 4, at a mass ratio of 2% to form an N-type charge generation layer with a thickness of 10 nm. Afterwards, the HAT-CN compound was vacuum-deposited to form a P-type charge generation layer with a thickness of 5 nm. This layer was also used as a second hole injection layer. On this, NPB material was vacuum-deposited to form a second hole transport layer with a thickness of 50 nm. Thereafter, GH-1 material was used as a host and GD-1 material was used as a dopant to co-deposit at a mass ratio of approximately 10% to form a green second light-emitting layer with a thickness of 20 nm. On this light-emitting layer, TmPyPb compound was used as a host and Liq compound was used as a dopant to co-deposit at a mass ratio of approximately 33% to form a second electron transport layer with a thickness of 20 nm. Thereafter, LiF material was vacuum-deposited to form an electron injection layer with a thickness of 1 nm. Finally, aluminum (Al) was deposited at a thickness of 50 nm to form a cathode, thereby fabricating the final tandem organic light-emitting device. The structures of the HAT-CN, NPB, GH-1, GD-1, TmPyPb, and Liq materials used previously are the same as in Table 1, and therefore are omitted.

[0362] An organic light-emitting device was manufactured in the same manner as in Comparative Example 9, except that the previously synthesized compounds in Table 9 were used instead of Comparative Compound 4, which was used as a host material for the N-type charge generation layer.

[0363] Table 9

[0364]

[0365] The driving voltage, current efficiency, and lifespan of the organic light-emitting device fabricated in this manner were evaluated. The results are shown in Table 10 below.

[0366] Table 10

[0367]

[0368] As shown in Table 10, it was confirmed that the organic light-emitting devices of the examples had lower driving voltages and improved efficiency and lifespans than the comparative examples. Compared to Comparative Example 9 using a phenanthroline compound (Comparative Compound 4), Comparative Example 10 using an azaspirobifluorene compound having one nitrogen (N) substituted (Comparative Compound 5), and Comparative Example 11 using a diazaspirobifluorene compound having two nitrogen (N) substituted at different positions from the present invention (Comparative Compound 6), it was confirmed that the efficiency and lifespans of the examples using the 4,5-diazaspirobifluorene compound according to the present invention were greatly improved. Through this, it can be seen that the 4,5-diazaspirobifluorene compound according to the present invention is most suitable as an N-type charge generation layer host compound.

[0369] As described above, the novel charge generation layer of the tandem organic light-emitting device according to the present invention is characterized by including a first compound having 4,5-diazaspirobifluorene as a core as a host for the N-type charge generation layer, and exhibiting low voltage, high efficiency, and long lifespan. In addition, by including a second compound having one or more tertiary amines as a core as a host for the P-type charge generation layer, the combination of the first compound and the second compound facilitates charge transport and prevents current leakage to the side, thereby lowering the driving voltage of the device and further improving the efficiency and lifespan. Furthermore, the organic light-emitting device of the present invention can achieve further improved device performance through the charge generation layer including the first compound, lithium or ytterbium, the second compound, and the third compound simultaneously.
