Description
[0001] Organic light-emitting devices The present invention relates to an organic light-emitting device in which a specific combination of different OLED materials is used, in particular a combination of a hole-transport material and a p-dopant in a hole-injection layer, a hole-transport material in a hole-transport layer, and a host material in the emitting layer. Electronic devices containing organic and / or organometallic semiconductors are used in many commercial products, for example in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). There is a great need to improve performance data, for example, the operating voltage. This applies in particular to blue-phosphorescent OLEDs or hyperphosphorescent OLEDs.A good charge carrier balance of holes and electrons in the emitting layer is required to achieve good device properties in terms of efficiency, lifetime, and operating voltage. There is therefore a need to improve charge carrier injection from the electrode into the adjacent organic layer, charge carrier injection from an organic layer into the adjacent organic layer, and charge carrier transport within an organic layer. To ensure good charge carrier injection from the anode into the adjacent organic layer (= hole injection layer, HIL), a p-dopant is usually mixed into the hole-transport material of the HIL. Alternatively, a thin pure layer of the p-dopant can also be used as the HIL. The hole-transport layer (HTL), which borders the HIL, ideally consists of a material with high hole mobility.Typically, an electron-blocking layer (EBL) is also inserted between the hole-transporting layer (HTL) and the emitting layer (EML). This layer minimizes electron injection from the EML into the EBL by maintaining a large LUMO gap between the EML and EBL materials, preventing the loss of electrons from the EML into the adjacent hole-transporting part of the OLED. To maximize the internal quantum efficiency of OLEDs, phosphorescence, thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF), hyperphosphorescence (HP), or hyperfluorescence (HF) are often used to utilize the excited triplet states, which account for 75% of the excited states in the emitting layer of an OLED. What all these approaches have in common is that they require host materials (matrix materials) whose triplet state is higher than the excited state of the emitter molecule and, in the case of hyperphosphorescence orHyperfluorescence, even higher than the excited state of the sensitizers, since molecules with a lower triplet energy would lead to quenching of the excited states and thus to a loss of efficiency. Analogously, the materials used in EBL must have a sufficiently high triplet level to prevent quenching of the excitons at the EML / EBL phase boundary, which would also lead to a loss of efficiency. Since deep-blue emitting OLEDs require excited states with higher energy than green, yellow, or red emitting OLEDs, matrix materials with a higher triplet energy are also required than for green, yellow, or red emitting OLEDs. For blue-phosphorescent or hyperphosphorescent OLEDs, iridium or platinum complexes are typically used as emitters or sensitizers, respectively, which have a lower HOMO level than emitters typically used for green, yellow, or red emission.Host materials for blue phosphorescent or hyperphosphorescent OLEDs typically have a HOMO level that is lower than the HOMO level of the emitter or sensitizer, which is typically < −5.2 eV. Since typical hole-transport materials have a high HOMO of > −5.2 eV, there is a comparatively large distance between the HOMO levels of the various layers, and the electron-blocking layer or the emitting layer represents a hole injection barrier that must be overcome by the charge carriers. This leads to high operating voltages for deep-blue OLEDs. To improve hole injection into EML materials with a deep HOMO, the HOMO levels are often gradually reduced from the HIL to the EML. However, this leads to a complicated layer structure with a multitude of different materials, which complicates OLED production.The object of the present invention is therefore to improve the operating voltage and thus the power efficiency of blue-emitting OLEDs whose emission is based on phosphorescence, TADF, HP, or HF. This object is achieved by providing an OLED as described below. This results in an OLED with improved hole injection into the HIL, HTL, EBL, and EML, which leads to a reduction in the operating voltage.The invention therefore relates to an organic electroluminescent device comprising, in this order, an anode, a hole injection layer (HIL) comprising at least one hole transport material HTM1 and a p-dopant, at least one hole transport layer (HTL) comprising at least one hole transport material HTM2, an emitting layer (EML) comprising at least one hole-transporting host material hTMM, at least one electron-transporting host material eTMM and at least one blue-phosphorescent compound, and a cathode, characterized in that the hole-transporting host material hTMM and the hole transport materials HTM1 and HTM2 each have a HOMO of ≤ −5.30 eV. The physical parameters of the materials, in particular the HOMO, the LUMO, the singlet and triplet energies of the materials, are determined by quantum chemical calculations, as generally described in the examples section.The emission maximum is determined based on these calculations as the triplet energy in the case of a phosphorescent emitter or the singlet energy in the case of a fluorescent emitter. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the hole-injection layer contains exactly one hole-transport material HTM1, and the hole-transport layer contains exactly one hole-transport material HTM2, and the emitting layer contains exactly one hole-transporting host material hTMM, exactly one electron-transporting host material eTMM, and exactly one blue-phosphorescent compound. If the hole-injection layer and / or the hole-transport layer comprise a mixture of several hole-transport materials, it is preferred that all hole-transport materials in the respective layer have a HOMO of ≤ −5.30 eV.If the emitting layer has more than one hole-transporting host material hTMM, it is preferred that all hole-transporting host materials have a HOMO of ≤ −5.30 eV. The hole injection layer can consist of a mixture of at least one, and preferably exactly one, hole-transporting material HTM1 and the p-dopant, or it can be a thin pure layer of the p-dopant directly adjacent to the anode and a layer of the at least one, preferably exactly one, hole-transporting material HTM1 adjacent to the layer of the p-dopant. If a pure layer of the p-dopant is used, this typically has a layer thickness of 1 to 5 nm. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the OLED according to the invention contains a mixture of HTM1 and the p-dopant in the hole injection layer.It is also possible for the OLED to contain an electron blocking layer (EBL) between the hole transport layer (HTL) and the emitting layer (EML), which contains at least one hole transport material HTM3, preferably exactly one hole transport material HTM3. If such a layer is present, the HOMO of HTM3 is also ≤ −5.30 eV. If multiple hole transport layers are present, the HOMO of the hole transport material HTM2 in each of these layers is ≤ −5.30 eV. The OLED can have further layers, for example one or more hole blocking layers, electron transport layers, electron injection layers, exciton blocking layers and / or charge generation layers (charge generation layer in a tandem OLED) and / or organic or inorganic p / n junctions. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the OLED contains exactly one emitting layer between the anode and cathode orbetween the anode and the charge generation layer in the case of a tandem OLED. The OLED can also contain additional materials in the layers defined above. For example, it is possible for the emitting layer to contain a blue fluorescent compound in addition to hTMM, eTMM, and the blue phosphorescent compound. If the OLED contains only hTMM, eTMM, and the blue phosphorescent compound in the emitting layer, the blue phosphorescent compound is the emitter, and it is a phosphorescent OLED. If the OLED also contains a blue fluorescent compound in the EML, this fluorescent compound is the emitter, and the blue phosphorescent compound is a sensitizer, making it a hyperphosphorescent OLED.A blue phosphorescent compound in the sense of the present invention is a compound which is capable of emitting phosphorescence at room temperature with an emission maximum of 3.00 to 2.55 eV, preferably an emission maximum of 2.90 to 2.58 eV, particularly preferably of 2.88 to 2.60 eV and very particularly preferably 2.82 to 2.60 eV. Blue phosphorescent compounds, in particular blue-emitting iridium or platinum complexes according to the prior art, often have a HOMO of ≤ −5.20 eV. The term “phosphorescent compound” or “phosphorescent compound” (also called triplet emitter) typically refers to compounds in which the emission of light occurs via a spin-forbidden transition, e.g. a transition from an excited triplet state or a state with a higher spin quantum number, e.g. B. a quintet state.Luminescent complexes with transition metals or lanthanides are preferably considered as phosphorescent compounds, especially if they contain copper, molybdenum, tungsten, rhenium, ruthenium, osmium, rhodium, iridium, palladium, platinum, silver, gold, or europium, in particular compounds containing iridium, platinum, or copper. For the purposes of the present invention, all luminescent iridium, platinum, or copper complexes are considered phosphorescent compounds. Preference is given to iridium or platinum complexes, and particular preference is given to platinum complexes. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the hole-transporting host material hTMM and the hole-transport materials HTM1, HTM2, and, if present, HTM3 all have a HOMO of ≤ −5.35 eV, and particularly preferably a HOMO of ≤ −5.40 eV.In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the hole-transporting host material hTMM and the hole-transporting materials HTM1, HTM2, and, if present, HTM3 all have a HOMO of ≥ −5.70 eV, more preferably a HOMO of ≥ −5.6 eV, and most preferably a HOMO of ≥ −5.5 eV. In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the triplet energy T1 of the host materials hTMM and eTMM is at least equal to the triplet energy of the phosphorescent compound. The triplet energy T1 of the host materials hTMM and eTMM is preferably higher than the triplet energy of the phosphorescent compound. Since a blue phosphorescent compound typically has a triplet energy of at least 2.6 eV, T1hTMM ≥ 2.6 eV and T1eTMM ≥ 2.6 eV apply, where T1hTMM and T1eTMM are the triplet energies of the hTMM and eTMM, respectively. Preferably, the triplet energy T1 of the hTMM and eTMM is at least 0.1 eV higher than that of the phosphorescent compound, particularly preferably at least 0.2 eV higher, and most preferably at least 0.3 eV higher. To prevent the triplet excitons of the emitting layer from being quenched at the phase boundary to the adjacent layer on the anode side, i.e., to the hole-transport layer if no separate electron-blocking layer is used, or to the electron-blocking layer if one is used, it is further preferred if the triplet energy T1 of the hole-transport material HTM2 or, if an electron-blocking layer is used, of the hole-transport material HTM3, is at least as high as the triplet energy of the phosphorescent compound. Therefore, when using a separate electron blocking layer, T1HTM3 ≥ 2.6 eV is preferred, where T1HTM3 is the triplet energy of the hole transport material HTM3 in the EBL, or without using a separate electron blocking layer, T1HTM2 ≥ 2 is preferred.6 eV, where T1HTM2 is the triplet energy of the hole-transport material HTM2 in the HTL adjacent to the EML. Preferably, the triplet energy T1 of the HTM adjacent to the EML is at least 0.1 eV higher than that of the phosphorescent compound, more preferably at least 0.2 eV higher, and most preferably at least 0.3 eV higher. For the p-dopant in the HIL to be able to dope, i.e., oxidize, the hole-transport material HTM1 in the HIL, it is necessary that the LUMO of the p-dopant is not significantly higher than the HOMO of HTM1. Therefore, the LUMO of the p-dopant is LUMOp-dopant ≤ HOMOHTM1 + 0.3 eV, preferably LUMOp-dopant ≤ HOMOHTM1 + 0.2 eV, further preferably LUMOp-dopant ≤ HOMOHTM1 + 0.1 eV, particularly preferably LUMOp-dopant ≤ HOMOHTM1 and most particularly preferably LUMOp-dopant ≤ HOMOHTM1 – 0.1 eV, where LUMOp-dopant represents the LUMO of the p-dopant and HOMOHTM1 represents the HOMO of the hole transport material HTM1.In a further preferred embodiment, LUMOp dopant > HOMOHTM1 − 0.7 eV. Since it is the aim of the present invention to keep the hole injection barrier from the anode to the emitting layer as low as possible, the following preferably applies without the use of a separate electron blocking layer: │HOMOHTM1 – HOMOHTM2│ ≤ 0.1 eV and │HOMOHTM2 – HOMOhTMM│ ≤ 0.1 eV, and when using a separate electron blocking layer: │HOMOHTM1 – HOMOHTM2│ ≤ 0.1 eV and │HOMOHTM2 – HOMOHTM3│ ≤ 0.1 eV and │HOMOHTM3 – HOMOhTMM│ ≤ 0.1 eV, where HOMOHTM1, HOMOHTM2, HOMOHTM3 and HOMOhTMM each represent the HOMO of the materials HTM1, HTM2, HTM3, and hTMM. The injection barrier between two adjacent layers is particularly low when the same material is used as the hole-transport material or hTMM in both layers.Therefore, a preferred embodiment of the invention is an OLED in which hTMM and HTM2, if no separate electron blocking layer is used, or hTMM and HTM3, if a separate electron blocking layer is used, are identical. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, no separate electron blocking layer is used, so that the hole transport layer containing HTM2 is directly adjacent to the emitting layer. Another preferred embodiment of the invention is an OLED in which HTM1 and HTM2 are identical. Particular preference is given to an OLED in which no separate electron blocking layer is used and in which HTM1 and HTM2 are identical. Very particular is an OLED in which no separate electron blocking layer is used and in which HTM1, HTM2 and hTMM are identical.Thus, very particular preference is given to an organic electroluminescent device comprising, in this order, an anode, a hole injection layer (HIL) comprising a hole transport material HTM and a p-dopant, a hole transport layer (HTL) comprising the same hole transport material HTM, an emitting layer (EML) comprising, as hole transporting host material hTMM, the same material HTM, at least one electron transporting host material eTMM and at least one blue phosphorescent compound, and a cathode, characterized in that the material HTM has a HOMO of ≤ −5.30 eV. Suitable materials for HIL, HTL, EBL, if present, and EML are described below. Materials are selected from the substance classes described below that have the above-described physical properties with regard to HOMO and triplet energy.Suitable compounds which can be used as HTM1, HTM2, HTM3 and / or hTMM are the compounds according to the following formula (1) or formula (2).

An aryl group within the meaning of this invention contains 6 to 40 C atoms; a heteroaryl group within the meaning of this invention contains 5 to 40 C atoms and at least one heteroatom, with the proviso that the sum of C atoms and heteroatoms is at least 5. The heteroatoms are preferably selected from N, O and / or S. An aryl group or heteroaryl group is understood to be either a simple aromatic cycle, i.e. benzene, or a simple heteroaromatic cycle, for example pyridine, pyrimidine, thiophene, etc., or a condensed (fused) aryl or heteroaryl group, for example naphthalene, anthracene, phenanthrene, quinoline, isoquinoline, etc. Aromatics linked to one another by a single bond, such as biphenyl, are not referred to as aryl or heteroaryl groups, but as an aromatic ring system. An aromatic ring system in the sense of this invention contains 6 to 60 C atoms,preferably 6 to 40 C atoms in the ring system. A heteroaromatic ring system within the meaning of this invention contains 1 to 60 C atoms, preferably 1 to 40 C atoms and at least one heteroatom in the ring system, with the proviso that the sum of C atoms and heteroatoms is at least 5. The heteroatoms are preferably selected from N, O and / or S. An aromatic or heteroaromatic ring system within the meaning of this invention is to be understood as a system which does not necessarily contain only aryl or heteroaryl groups, but in which several aryl or heteroaryl groups can also be linked by a non-aromatic unit (preferably less than 10% of the atoms other than H), such as a C, N or O atom or carbonyl group. This should also be understood as meaning systems in which two or more aryl or heteroaryl groups are directly linked to one another, such as, for example, B. Biphenyl, Terphenyl,Bipyridine or phenylpyridine. For example, systems such as fluorene, 9,9'-spirobifluorene, 9,9-diarylfluorene, triarylamine, diaryl ether, stilbene, etc. are also to be understood as aromatic ring systems within the meaning of this invention, as are systems in which two or more aryl groups are linked, for example, by a linear or cyclic alkyl group or by a silyl group. Preferred aromatic or heteroaromatic ring systems are simple aryl or heteroaryl groups, as well as groups in which two or more aryl or heteroaryl groups are directly linked to one another, for example biphenyl, terphenyl, quaterphenyl or bipyridine, as well as fluorene or spirobifluorene.

An electron-deficient heteroaryl group is a six-membered ring heteroaryl group with at least one nitrogen atom or a five-membered ring heteroaryl group with at least two heteroatoms, one of which is a nitrogen atom and the other oxygen, sulfur, or a substituted nitrogen atom, to which further aryl or heteroaryl groups may be fused. In contrast, electron-rich heteroaryl groups are five-membered ring heteroaryl groups with exactly one heteroatom selected from oxygen, sulfur, or substituted nitrogen, to which further aryl groups and / or further electron-rich five-membered ring heteroaryl groups may be fused. Examples of electron-rich heteroaryl groups are pyrrole, furan, thiophene, indole, benzofuran, benzothiophene, carbazole, dibenzofuran, dibenzothiophene,Indolocarbazole and indenocarbazole. In the context of the present invention, the term "alkyl group" is used as a generic term for both linear and branched alkyl groups and cyclic alkyl groups. Analogously, the terms "alkenyl group" and "alkynyl group" are used as generic terms for both linear and branched alkenyl and alkynyl groups, as well as for cyclic alkenyl and alkynyl groups. A cyclic alkyl, alkoxy, or thioalkoxy group, for the purposes of this invention, is understood to mean a monocyclic, bicyclic, or polycyclic group. In the context of the present invention, an aliphatic hydrocarbon radical or an alkyl group or an alkenyl or alkynyl group which may contain 1 to 40 C atoms and in which individual H atoms or CH2 groups may be substituted by the above-mentioned groups, preferably the radicals methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, i-propyl, n-butyl, i-butyl, s-butyl, t-butyl, 2-methylbutyl,n-Pentyl, s-Pentyl, t- Pentyl, 2-Pentyl, neo-Pentyl, Cyclopentyl, n-Hexyl, s-Hexyl, t-Hexyl, 2-Hexyl, 3-Hexyl, neo-Hexyl, Cyclohexyl, 1-Methylcyclopentyl, 2-Methyl- pentyl, n-Heptyl, 2-Heptyl, 3-Heptyl, 4-Heptyl, Cycloheptyl, 1-Methylcyclo- hexyl, n-Octyl, Cyclooctyl, 2-Ethylhexyl, 1-Bicyclo[2,2,2]octyl, 2-Bicyclo- [2,2,2]octyl, 2-(2,6-Dimethyl)octyl, 3-(3,7-Dimethyl)octyl, Adamantyl, Trifluormethyl, Pentafluorethyl, 2,2,2-Trifluorethyl, 1,1-Dimethyl-n-hex-1-yl, 1,1-Dimethyl-n-hept-1-yl, 1,1-Dimethyl-n-oct-1-yl, 1,1-Dimethyl-n-dec-1-yl, 1,1-Dimethyl-n-dodec-1-yl, 1,1-Dimethyl-n-tetradec-1-yl, 1,1-Dimethyl-n- hexadec-1-yl, 1,1-Dimethyl-n-octadec-1-yl, 1,1-Diethyl-n-hex-1-yl, 1,1- Diethyl-n-hept-1-yl, 1,1-Diethyl-n-oct-1-yl, 1,1-Diethyl-n-dec-1-yl, 1,1- Diethyl-n-dodec-1-yl, 1,1-Diethyl-n-tetradec-1-yl, 1,1-Diethyl-n-hexadec-1-yl, 1,1-Diethyl-n-octadec-1-yl, 1-(n-Propyl)-cyclohex-1-yl, 1-(n-Butyl)-cyclohex- 1-yl, 1-(n-Hexyl)-cyclohex-1-yl,1-(n-Octyl)-cyclohex-1-yl und 1-(n-Decyl)- cyclohex-1-yl, Ethenyl, Propenyl, Butenyl, Pentenyl, Cyclopentenyl, Hexenyl, Cyclohexenyl, Heptenyl, Cycloheptenyl, Octenyl, Cyclooctenyl, Cyclooctadienyl, Ethinyl, Propinyl, Butinyl, Pentinyl, Hexinyl, Heptinyl oder Octinyl verstanden.

These groups can also be deuterated. The phrase "two or more residues can form a ring system" is understood, in the context of this description, to mean, among other things, that the two residues are linked by a chemical bond with the formal elimination of two hydrogen atoms. This is illustrated by the following scheme: Furthermore, the above formulation should also be understood to mean that if one of the two residues represents hydrogen, the second residue binds to the position to which the hydrogen atom was bonded, forming a ring. This is illustrated by the following scheme: The compound according to formula (1) can also be partially or fully deuterated. The term "deuterated" means that in such a compound the corresponding proportion of the hydrogen atoms contained in the undeuterated compound has been exchanged for D (deuterium). The undeuterated compound is the corresponding compound which contains hydrogen in the natural isotopic distribution. The degree of deuteration is given in mol% and describes the average degree of deuteration of the compound, i.e. the average proportion of the H atoms in the compound that are replaced by D atoms. In a fully deuterated compound, all H atoms are exchanged for D, so that the degree of deuteration is 100%. A degree of deuteration of at least 30% means that on average 30% to 100% of the H atoms in the compound are replaced by D atoms.In a preferred embodiment, the degree of deuteration is 30% to 95%, particularly preferably 40% to 90%, and most preferably 50% to 80%. In general, a high degree of deuteration is desirable. However, this can only be achieved synthetically with great effort or not at all. Since the degree of deuteration refers to the average of a mixture of differently deuterated compounds, this mixture has compounds of the same basic structure which, depending on the deuteration method, differ in the position of deuteration and the degree of deuteration of the individual compounds.

Asymmetric structures are characterized by the fact that not all four groups Ar 1 , Ar 2 , Ar 3 and Ar 4are identical and / or in that the two cycles containing the groups X are different, as is the case, for example, in the compounds of formula (4).

From the descriptions, those skilled in the art can implement the invention within the entire disclosed scope and produce further organic electroluminescent devices according to the invention without inventive step. Examples: General method for calculating the parameters The Gaussian program package (Gaussian16) is used for all quantum chemical calculations.The singlet ground-state geometries are optimized with B3LYP / 6-31G(d), where 6-31G(d) is used for all nonmetals. For d-metals, LANL2DZ and the corresponding pseudopotential are used. For lanthanides, def2-SVP is used together with the pseudopotential. Standard settings for SCF (self-consistent convergence) and geometry optimizations are used for the calculations. To account for the special bonding conditions for the lanthanide compounds, a polarizable continuum model (PCM) is used to calculate the singlet ground-state geometries (IEFPCM, solvent acetonitrile, default settings in Gaussian16 for cavity and solvation surface). The resulting HOMO and LUMO values in eV for nonmetallic compounds and d-metal-containing compounds are correlated with CV measurements.For organic compounds and organometallic compounds that contain transition metals or main group elements and are not used as p-dopants, the following correlations are used: HOMO corr.(eV) = (HOMO(eV)*0.90603) - 0.84836 LUMO corr. (eV) = (LUMO(eV)*0.99687) - 0.72445 For organic compounds and organometallic compounds that contain transition metals or main group elements but no lanthanides and are used as p-dopants, the following correlation is used: LUMO corr. (eV) = (LUMO(eV)*0.8776) - 0.3879 For lanthanide compounds that are used as p-dopants, the following correlation is used: LUMO corr. (eV) = (LUMO(eV)*0.8728) - 1.4919 For the purpose of this application, the values calculated in this way are to be regarded as HOMO and LUMO orbital energies of the materials.To evaluate the singlet excitations (vertical excitations), TD-DFT singlet and triplet excitations (vertical excitations) are calculated using the same method (B3LYP / 6-31G(d)) and the optimized ground-state geometry (B3LYP / 6-31G(d)). To evaluate the adiabatic T1 level, the molecular geometry is optimized at the B3LYP / 6-31G* level in both the singlet ground state (S0) and the T1 state, using UB3LP for the T1 state. For d-metals, LANL2DZ and the corresponding pseudopotential are used. The vibrational states and the resulting zero-point energies (ZPE) are then calculated using the same method. The adiabatic zero-point energy-corrected energy difference is used as a measure of the T1 level. The Gaussian16 program package is used for all calculations. OLED examples The production of OLEDs has already been described several times in the literature, e.g. in WO 2004 / 058911. The process is adapted to the conditions described below, i.e. layer thickness variations, layer sequences and materials. Examples of OLED components according to preferred embodiments of the invention are described below. All exemplary OLED components are characterized by the following layer structure: - glass plate (hereinafter also glass substrate or substrate), - indium tin oxide (hereinafter ITO) as anode, - hole injection layer (hereinafter HIL) - hole transport layer (hereinafter HTL), - electron blocker layer (hereinafter EBL), - emission layer (hereinafter EML), - hole blocker layer (hereinafter HBL), - electron transport layer (hereinafter ETL), - electron injection layer (hereinafter EIL), - aluminum (hereinafter cathode).The glass substrates with the structured 50 nm thick ITO are pretreated with an oxygen plasma followed by an argon plasma. The materials for the HIL, HTL, EBL, EML, HBL, ETL, and EIL are then applied to the pretreated glass substrate by thermal evaporation in a vacuum chamber. The cathode consists of an aluminum layer with a thickness of 100 nm. The following exemplary embodiments correspond to preferred embodiments of the invention. The structure of the exemplary embodiments is shown in Table 1 and Table 2. All exemplary embodiments have an identical layer sequence with identical layer thicknesses and identical electron-transporting materials in the EIL, ETL, and HBL. In all exemplary embodiments, the emission layer contains an identical electron-transporting host material (eTMM), an identical phosphorescent light-emitting heavy metal complex (BD), and a hole-transporting host material (hTMM).All materials of the emission layer (EML) are deposited in parallel at a specific deposition rate, i.e., by co-evaporation, to form a homogeneous, amorphous mixture. The deposition rate of the individual materials can be selected so that each material is present in the mixture at a specific volume fraction (vol%). The volume fraction of the light-emitting heavy metal complex (BD) is 10 vol% in all embodiments. In all embodiments, an identical dopant (PD) with a volume fraction of 5 vol% is deposited in the hole injection layer (HIL) by co-evaporation. The examples according to the invention can be compared with examples according to the prior art. The devices differ with regard to the hole-transporting materials in the HIL (HIM), HTL (HTM), and EBL (EBM), as well as the hole-transporting host material in the EML (hTMM).Furthermore, the devices can differ with regard to the volume fraction of the hole-transporting host material and the volume fraction of the electron-transporting host material in the EML. The hole-transporting materials used in the respective embodiments and their volume fractions are listed in Table 2. For example, the composition of an EML comprising a hole-transporting host material (hTMM) at 40 vol.%, an electron-transporting host material (eTMM) at 50 vol.%, and a phosphorescent heavy metal complex (BD) at 10 vol.% is referred to as "hTMM (40%)" in Table 2. The calculated values of the orbital energies of the HOMO orbital and the calculated energies of the first excited triplet state of the materials used are listed in Table 3. The molecular structures of the materials used are given in Table 4.The calculated value of the orbital energy of the LUMO orbital of the p-dopant PD is -5.62 eV. The performance of OLED devices can be measured using standard methods. For this purpose, the electroluminescence (EL) spectra and the external quantum efficiency (EQE) can be determined from current / voltage / luminance (IUL) curves, assuming a Lambertian emission profile. The operating voltage U is defined as the voltage required for a current density of 10 mA / cm². In Table 2, the voltage U is shown as a relative voltage (rel. U), whereby the voltage of the reference device in the respective comparison example was set to 100% rel. U. The EQE is the external quantum efficiency, i.e., the ratio of the number of emitted photons to the number of injected charge carriers, at a current density of 10 mA / cm². In Table 2, the external quantum efficiency is shown as relative external quantum efficiency (rel. EQE), where the EQE of the reference component in the respective comparison example was set to 100% rel. EQE.The lifetime LT90 is defined as the time after which the luminance drops to 90% of the initial luminance during operation at a constant current density of 5 mA / cm². Table 2 shows the lifetime LT90 as a relative lifetime (rel. LT90), with the lifetime of the reference component in each comparison example set to 100% rel. LT.
