Abstract
Description
Organic compounds and their applications in optoelectronics Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of organic photoelectric materials and devices, and in particular to an organic mixture, a composition containing the same, a photoelectric device and applications thereof in the photoelectric field. Background Art
[0002] Organic semiconductor materials have great potential for applications in optoelectronic devices such as flat panel displays and lighting due to their diverse synthesis, relatively low manufacturing costs, and excellent optical and electrical properties.
[0003] To date, fluorescent and phosphorescent luminescent material systems have been developed. Organic light-emitting diodes using traditional fluorescent / phosphorescent materials exhibit broad emission spectra, with the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of bottom-emitting devices typically exceeding 30 nm. In recent years, multi-resonant TADF materials have been reported, particularly OLED luminescent materials based on BN fused-ring systems. When used as the luminescent layer in light-emitting devices, device efficiencies comparable to or exceeding those of traditional luminescent materials are achieved while offering narrower spectra, which facilitates achieving a wider display color gamut.
[0004] The efficiency and lifespan of OLED light-emitting devices depend largely on the properties of the luminescent materials. Currently, the most commonly used luminescent materials are multiply resonant TADF organic compounds containing BN fused ring systems. However, due to disadvantages such as their large structural conjugation, the lifespan of corresponding OLED devices is still lower than that of devices using traditional fluorescent materials as luminescent materials.
[0005] Therefore, existing OLED device technologies and related luminescent materials, especially solutions for blue light emitting materials, need to be improved and developed.

[0032] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention may be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of the present disclosure.
[0033] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0034] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, a numerical range represented by “~” refers to a range that includes the numerical values described before and after “~” as the lower limit and the upper limit.
[0035] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, a substituent may be further substituted by a substituent, and "substituted group a" may refer to group a being substituted by a substituent, and the substituent may be substituted by at least one further substituent or may be unsubstituted.
[0036] In this disclosure, the term "and / or" describes the relationship between associated objects, indicating that three possible relationships exist. For example, "A and / or B" can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. A and B can be singular or plural. The character " / " generally indicates that the associated objects are in an "or" relationship.
[0037] In the present invention, "at least one" means one or more, and "plurality" means two or more. "At least one of the following" or similar expressions refers to any combination of these items, including any combination of single items or plural items. For example, "at least one of a, b, or c" or "at least one of a, b, and c" can all mean: a, b, c, ab (i.e., a and b), ac, bc, or abc, where a, b, and c can each be single or plural.
[0038] It should be understood that in various embodiments of the present invention, the size of the serial numbers of the above-mentioned processes does not mean the order of execution. Some or all of the steps can be executed in parallel or sequentially. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0039] The terms used in the embodiments of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The singular forms "a", "an", "the" and "the" used in the embodiments of the present invention and the appended claims are also intended to include plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
[0040] The term "OLED" is an abbreviation for "Organic Light Emitting Diode," which stands for organic electroluminescent diode, also known as organic electric laser display or organic light-emitting semiconductor (Organic Electroluminescence Display, OLED). OLED is a current-type organic light-emitting device that emits light through the injection and recombination of carriers, and the luminous intensity is proportional to the injected current. Under the action of the electric field, the holes generated by the anode and the electrons generated by the cathode will move, and are injected into the hole transport layer and the electron transport layer respectively, and migrate to the light-emitting layer. When the two meet in the light-emitting layer, energy excitons are generated, which excite the light-emitting molecules and ultimately produce visible light.
[0041] The term "TADF," short for "Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence," refers to thermally activated delayed fluorescence, which occurs when the triplet excited state and singlet excited state are close in energy, allowing the triplet excited state to transition to the singlet excited state through thermally activated reverse intersystem crossing (ISC). Conventional luminescence occurs as fluorescence and phosphorescence, respectively, where the exciton returns to the ground state via radiative emission from the singlet and triplet states. Furthermore, the energy difference between the lower singlet and triplet states is typically large, resulting in an inability to return the exciton to the singlet state once it reaches the triplet state through ISC.
[0042] In the present invention, main body material, matrix material, host material and matrix material have the same meaning and can be interchanged.
[0043] In the present invention, metal organic complex, metal organic complex and organometallic complex have the same meaning and can be used interchangeably.
[0044] In the present invention, composition, printing ink, ink and ink have the same meaning and can be interchanged.
[0045] In the embodiment of the present invention, the energy level structure of the organic material, the singlet energy level E S1 , triplet energy level E T1 , HOMO, and LUMO play a key role. The following is an introduction to the determination of these energy levels.
[0046] HOMO and LUMO energy levels can be measured by photoelectric effects, such as XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) and UPS (ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy), or by cyclic voltammetry (CV). Recently, quantum chemical methods, such as density functional theory (DFT), have also become effective methods for calculating molecular orbital energy levels.
[0047] The singlet energy level E of organic materials S1 The triplet energy level E can be determined by the luminescence spectrum. T1 It can be measured by low temperature time-resolved luminescence spectroscopy. S1 and E T1 It can also be obtained by quantum simulation calculation (such as by Time-dependent DFT), such as by the commercial software Gaussian 09W (Gaussian Inc.), and the specific simulation method can be found in WO2011141110 or described in the examples below. ST Defined as (E S1 -E T1 ).
[0048] It should be noted that HOMO, LUMO, E S1 、E T1 The absolute value of depends on the measurement method or calculation method used. Even for the same method, different evaluation methods, such as the starting point and peak point on the CV curve, can give different HOMO / LUMO values. Therefore, reasonable and meaningful comparisons should be made using the same measurement method and the same evaluation method. S1 、E T1 The value is based on the simulation of Time-dependent DFT and does not affect the application of other measurement or calculation methods.
[0049] In the present invention, (HOMO-1) is defined as the second-highest occupied molecular orbital energy level, (HOMO-2) is the third-highest occupied molecular orbital energy level, and so on. (LUMO+1) is defined as the second-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy level, (LUMO+2) is the third-lowest occupied molecular orbital energy level, and so on.

[0093] In the embodiment of the present invention, the triplet energy level (T1), the singlet energy level (S1), the HOMO, the LUMO, and the resonance factor strength f play a key role in the energy level structure of the organic material. The determination of these parameters is introduced below.
[0094] HOMO and LUMO energy levels can be measured by photoelectric effects, such as XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) and UPS (ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy), or by cyclic voltammetry (CV). Recently, quantum chemical methods, such as density functional theory (DFT), have also become effective methods for calculating molecular orbital energy levels.
[0095] The triplet energy level T1 of an organic material can be measured by low-temperature time-resolved luminescence spectroscopy or obtained by quantum simulation calculations (e.g., by time-dependent DFT), such as using the commercial software Gaussian 09W (Gaussian Inc.). The specific simulation method is described below. The singlet energy level S1 of an organic material can be determined by absorption or emission spectroscopy, or obtained by quantum simulation calculations (e.g., time-dependent DFT). The resonance factor intensity f can also be obtained by quantum simulation calculations (e.g., time-dependent DFT).
[0096] It should be noted that the absolute values of HOMO, LUMO, T1, and S1 depend on the measurement or calculation method used. Even for the same method, different evaluation methods, such as the starting point and peak point on the CV curve, can give different HOMO / LUMO values. Therefore, reasonable and meaningful comparisons should be made using the same measurement and evaluation methods. In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, the values of HOMO, LUMO, T1, and S1 are based on time-dependent DFT simulations, but this does not affect the application of other measurement or calculation methods.
[0097] In certain preferred embodiments, the second luminophore E2 according to the present invention has (S1-T1)≤0.30 eV, preferably ≤0.25 eV, more preferably ≤0.20 eV, even more preferably ≤0.15 eV, and most preferably ≤0.10 eV.

[0270] 2. Energy level structure of compound E1
[0271] The energy levels of organic materials can be calculated through quantum calculations, such as using TD-DFT (time-dependent density functional theory) with Gaussian 09W (Gaussian Inc.). For detailed simulation methods, see WO2011141110. The molecular geometry is first optimized using the semi-empirical method "Ground State / Semi-empirical / Default Spin / AM1" (Charge 0 / Spin Singlet). The energy structure of the organic molecule is then calculated using TD-DFT (time-dependent density functional theory) using the basis set "TD-SCF / DFT / Default Spin / B3PW91" and "6-31G(d)" (Charge 0 / Spin Singlet). The HOMO and LUMO energy levels are calculated using the following calibration formulas, with S1 and T1 used directly.
[0272] HOMO(eV)=((HOMO(G)×27.212)-0.9899) / 1.1206
[0273] LUMO(eV)=((LUMO(G)×27.212)-2.0041) / 1.385
[0274] The HOMO(G) and LUMO(G) are the direct calculation results of Gaussian 09W, and the unit is Hartree.
[0275] The results are shown in Table 1:

The solution was spin-coated onto glass at 1000 rpm for 30 seconds and heated on an 80°C hot plate for 5 minutes until fully solidified into a 2 μm thick transparent film. The emission spectrum of the film was collected over a wavelength range of 400 nm to 800 nm under 360 nm excitation to obtain the emission peak wavelength and full width at half maximum (FWHM) wavelength.

[0290] 4. Preparation and characterization of evaporation-type OLED devices
[0291] The materials used in the device embodiments of the present invention are as follows:
[0292] Among them, the synthesis of compound HT-1 refers to the method described in patent CN110416418; the synthesis of compound HT-2 refers to the method described in patent WO2016060332; the synthesis of compound H1-2 refers to the method described in patent WO2010137285; H1-1, HAT-CN, ET and LiQ were purchased from Jilin Aolide Optoelectronic Materials Co., Ltd.; other materials were synthesized according to the above methods.
[0293] The structure of the evaporation-type OLED device is HI (10 nm) / HT-1 (50 nm) / HT-2 (10 nm) / H1-1:BD=97:3 (20 nm) / ET:LiQ=50:50 (25 nm) / LiQ (2 nm) / Al (100 nm).
[0294] The preparation process of device examples OLED1-OLED4 (comparative examples) is as follows:
[0295] a. Cleaning of ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) conductive glass substrates: Use various solvents (such as one or more of chloroform, acetone or isopropyl alcohol) to clean, and then perform ultraviolet ozone treatment.
[0296] b. Evaporation: Move the ITO substrate into the vacuum vapor deposition equipment and place it in a high vacuum (1×10 -6At 100 mbar, a resistive heating evaporation source was used to form a 10nm thick HI layer (HAT-CN). A 50nm HT-1 layer was then formed on the HI layer by heating, followed by a 10nm HT-2 layer formed by evaporation on the HT-1 layer. Subsequently, two evaporation sources were used to vaporize the materials at different rates to ensure a BH:BD weight ratio of 97:3 (here, BH is H1-1, and BD is shown in Table 2), forming a 20nm light-emitting layer. ET and LiQ were placed in different evaporation units and co-deposited at a ratio of 50 wt%, respectively, to obtain a 25nm electron transport layer. Subsequently, 2nm of LiQ was deposited as an electron injection layer, and finally a 100nm thick Al cathode was deposited on the electron injection layer.
[0297] c. Packaging: The device is packaged with UV-curable resin and a glass cover in a nitrogen glove box.
[0298] The preparation process of the OLED devices OLED5-OLED10 according to the present invention is as follows: a and c are the same as OLED1-OLED4,
[0299] b. Evaporation: Move the ITO substrate into the vacuum vapor deposition equipment and place it in a high vacuum (1×10 -6 At 100 mbar, a resistive heating evaporation source was used to form a 10nm thick HI layer (HAT-CN). HT-1 was then heated on the HI layer to form a 50nm thick layer. Compound 1 was then evaporated on the HT-1 layer to form a 10nm thick HT-2 layer. Three evaporation sources were then used to vaporize the materials at varying rates, ensuring a BH:BD1:BD2 weight ratio of 97:x:3-x (here, BH is H1-1; the material selection and ratios of BD1 and BD2 are shown in Table 2), forming a 20nm thick light-emitting layer. ET and LiQ were co-deposited in separate evaporation units at a 50wt% ratio, respectively, to form a 25nm thick electron transport layer. Subsequently, 2nm of LiQ was deposited as an electron injection layer. Finally, a 100nm thick Al cathode was deposited on the electron injection layer.
[0300] The device performance of the above embodiment and comparative example was tested, as shown in Table 3. The EL peak value, half-maximum width and EQE were measured at 10 mA / cm 2 The device life of LT95 is tested at a constant current density of 50mA / cm 2 The time it takes for the device's brightness to decay to 95% under EQE and LT95 conditions is given relative to OLED1 (100%).
[0301] Table 3
[0302] In Comparative Examples OLED1-OLED4, devices using a single BD struggle to achieve both a narrow emission linewidth and a long device lifespan. Comparative Examples OLED1-OLED2, using a single non-boron-nitride compound BD, achieve a longer device lifespan, but their spectral half-maximum widths (WFHM) are all above 30nm, and their color purity is significantly lower than that of Comparative Examples OLED3-OLED4, which use boron-nitride compound BDs. Furthermore, despite having relatively narrow emission spectra (WFHM <25nm, with OLED3 having the narrowest WFHM at 19nm), Comparative Examples OLED3-OLED4 exhibit significantly shorter device lifespans than OLED1-OLED2.
[0303] In contrast, examples OLED5-OLED10, which employ the organic mixture according to the present invention as a guest, exhibit a more ideally narrow emission spectrum, high device efficiency, and long device lifetime compared to devices employing a single guest. Comparing OLED1 and OLED3, which employ a single guest, with OLED5-OLED8 having different dual-guest doping ratios, OLED5-OLED8 employing the organic mixture according to the present invention exhibit a narrower spectrum similar to that of OLED3 while also achieving a longer device lifetime than the comparative example using a single BD. Furthermore, their EQE approaches the higher of the single-BD devices.
[0304] Comparing OLED1-OLED4 with OLED7, OLED9 and OLED10 having the same dual guest doping ratio (1:1), it can also be seen that the devices using the organic mixture of the present invention have a narrow spectrum close to that of a single boron nitrogen guest and high efficiency of a single non-boron nitrogen guest, as well as a device lifespan that is longer than both.
[0305] It should be noted that due to the differences in host-guest compatibility and the influence of the weak microcavity effect in the bottom-emitting device, the half-peak width of the electroluminescence spectrum of the light-emitting device in some embodiments may be higher than / lower than / equal to the half-peak width of the photoluminescence spectrum in the polystyrene film.
[0306] 5. Solution preparation

[0308] Table 4
[0309] 6. Preparation of solution-processed P-OLED devices
[0310] The specific steps are as follows:
[0311] 1) Cleaning of the ITO transparent electrode (anode) glass substrate: ultrasonic treatment with an aqueous solution of 5% Decon90 cleaning solution for 30 minutes, followed by ultrasonic cleaning with deionized water several times, then ultrasonic cleaning with isopropyl alcohol, and drying with nitrogen; treatment under oxygen plasma for 5 minutes to clean the ITO surface and improve the work function of the ITO electrode.
[0312] 2) Hole Transport Layer Preparation: A PEDOT:PSS solution was spin-coated onto an oxygen plasma-treated glass substrate to obtain an 80 nm thin film. The film was then annealed in air at 150°C for 20 min. A 20 nm thick poly-TFB film (CAS: 223569-31-1, Lumtec Corp; 5 mg / mL toluene solution) was then spin-coated onto the PEDOT:PSS layer and subsequently treated on a hot plate at 180°C for 60 min.
[0313] 3) Preparation of the light-emitting layer: The light-emitting layer solution (see Table 3) was first spin-coated in a nitrogen glove box to obtain a 35 nm thin film, which was then annealed at 120° C. for 10 minutes.
[0314] 4) Preparation of electron transport layer: The substrate was moved into a vacuum vapor deposition device and placed in a high vacuum (1×10 -6 mbar), ET and LiQ were placed in different evaporation units and co-deposited at a ratio of 50 wt % to obtain a 30 nm electron transport layer.
[0315] 5) Cathode preparation: The spin-coated device is placed in a vacuum evaporation chamber, and 2 nm of barium and 100 nm of aluminum are evaporated in sequence to complete the light-emitting device.
[0316] 6) All devices were encapsulated with UV-curable resin and glass cover in a nitrogen glove box.
[0317] The device performance of the above embodiments and comparative examples was tested, as shown in Table 5. EQE is the external quantum efficiency of the device at a brightness of 1000 nits, with P-OLED1 as a reference (100%). The EL peak and half-value width are both tested at a device brightness of 1000 nits. The device lifespan T95 refers to the time it takes for the device to decay to 95% of its initial value after continuous constant current illumination at an initial brightness of 1000 nits, with P-OLED1 as a reference (100%).
