Description

Organic compounds and organic light-emitting devices containing the same

[0001] The present invention relates to an organic compound and an organic light-emitting device comprising the same.

[0002]

[0003] Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have a simpler structure than other flat panel displays such as liquid crystal displays (LCDs), plasma display panels (PDPs), and field emission displays (FEDs), and have various advantages in manufacturing processes. They also have high brightness and excellent viewing angle characteristics, a fast response speed, and low driving voltage. Therefore, they are being actively developed and commercialized for use as light sources for flat panel displays such as wall-mounted TVs, backlights for displays, lighting, and billboards.

[0004] Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) consist of an intermediate layer sandwiched between two electrodes. These devices utilize the principle that electrons and holes are injected from the two electrodes into the light-emitting layer, whereby excitons are generated by the combination of electrons and holes, and light is emitted when the generated excitons drop from the excited state to the ground state.

[0005] An organic light-emitting device may include at least one light-emitting layer. Typically, an organic light-emitting device having multiple light-emitting layers includes light-emitting layers that emit light having different peak wavelengths, thereby enabling a specific color to be realized through a combination of light having different peak wavelengths.

[0006] These organic light-emitting devices can be divided into top-emitting and bottom-emitting devices. Top-emitting devices use a reflective cathode to emit light generated in the light-emitting layer toward a translucent anode. Conversely, bottom-emitting devices use a reflective anode to emit light generated in the light-emitting layer and reflected by the anode toward a transparent cathode toward the driving thin-film transistor.

[0007] Meanwhile, the biggest challenges facing organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are their lifespan and efficiency. As displays become larger, these efficiency and lifespan issues become increasingly crucial. The properties of the components contained in the intermediate layer, which consists of a single or multiple layers containing a light-emitting layer between the anode and cathode, in an OLED device affect the device's operating voltage, luminous efficiency, and brightness. These characteristics, in turn, significantly impact the device's lifespan.

[0008] Therefore, research on the components included in the above intermediate layer is being actively conducted.

[0239] [Experimental Example 1] Measurement and Results of Electron Transport Layer HOMO and LUMO Levels

[0240] The compound of the present invention has been confirmed to have effects through the following experiments, which are only representative examples and the experimental examples are not limited thereto.

[0241] The electron transport layer has an appropriate LUMO level between the electron transport auxiliary layer and the electron injection layer or between the emitting layer (if there is no electron transport auxiliary layer) and the electron injection layer, thereby allowing electrons to be transferred to the electron transport auxiliary layer or the emitting layer (if there is no electron transport auxiliary layer). To this end, it is preferable that the LUMO energy difference between the electron transport auxiliary layer or the emitting layer (if there is no electron transport auxiliary layer) be smaller than the LUMO energy difference between the electron injection layer and the electron transport auxiliary layer.

[0242] In order to confirm whether the compounds represented by the chemical formula 1 of the present invention are suitable as electron transport layer materials, HOMO and LUMO were calculated using Gaussian software (B3LYP DFT 6-31G(d) by Gaussian'16.0), and the results are shown in Table 14 below.

[0248] Next, a mixture of NDP-9 (2-(7-Dicyanomethylene-1,3,4,5,6,8,9,10-octafluoro-7H-pyren-2-ylidene)-malononitrile) and N4,N4,N4',N4'-tetra([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-diamine (N4,N4,N4',N4'-Tetra([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-diamine) was deposited at a weight ratio of 3:97 to form a hole injection layer (HIL) on the anode to a thickness of 10 nm.

The measurement results are shown in Table 17 below.

[0323] [Table 17]

[0324]

When the compound of the present invention was included in an amount of less than 0.5 by weight (Comparative Examples 12 and 13), it was confirmed that the driving voltage of the tandem organic light-emitting device increased and the lifespan shortened. In addition, when the compound of the present invention exceeded 2 by weight (Comparative Example 14), it was confirmed that the efficiency and lifespan were lower than those of the tandem organic light-emitting devices of Examples 125 to 128. It is thought that the compound of the present invention affects electron mobility, and compound C affects electron injection, but it was determined that these roles were not sufficiently exerted as their mixing ratio changed.
