Abstract
Description
A mixture and its application in the photoelectric field Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of organic optoelectronic materials and devices, and in particular to a mixture, a composition containing the mixture, an organic functional material film, a optoelectronic device, an organic light-emitting device and applications thereof in the optoelectronic field. Background Art
[0002] According to the principles of colorimetry, the narrower the half-width at half-maximum of light entering the human eye, the higher the color purity and the brighter the color. Display devices made with red, green, and blue primary colors with narrow half-width at half-maximum display a wide color gamut, realistic images, and high-quality images.
[0003] Currently, there are two mainstream methods for achieving full-color displays. The first involves display devices actively emitting light in the three primary colors of red, green, and blue, a typical example being RGB-OLED displays. The currently mature technology uses vacuum evaporation with fine metal masks to produce three-color light-emitting devices. This process is complex, costly, and difficult to achieve high-resolution displays exceeding 600ppi. The second method uses a color converter to convert the single-color light emitted by the light-emitting device into multiple colors, thereby achieving full-color display. For example, Samsung's blue OLED combined with red and green quantum dot (QD) films acts as a color converter. The light-emitting device in this method features simple manufacturing processes and high yield rates. Furthermore, the color converter can be implemented through various technologies, such as evaporation, inkjet printing, transfer printing, and photolithography. This allows for applications in display products with varying resolution requirements, ranging from as low as 50ppi for large-screen TVs to over 3000ppi for silicon-based microdisplays.
[0004] Currently, there are two main types of color-conversion materials used in mainstream color converters. One is inorganic nanocrystals, commonly known as quantum dots. These are nanoparticles (specifically quantum dots) of inorganic semiconductor materials (such as InP, CdSe, CdS, and ZnSe) with diameters ranging from 2nm to 8nm. Due to the limitations of current quantum dot synthesis and separation technologies, the half-width (FWHM) of the emission peak of Cd-containing quantum dots is currently between 25nm and 40nm, with color purity that meets NTSC display requirements. The FWHM of Cd-free quantum dots is between 35nm and 75nm. However, due to the generally low extinction coefficient of quantum dots, thicker films—typically over 10 microns—are required to achieve adequate absorption of blue light. This poses a significant challenge to mass production, particularly for Samsung's blue OLED technology with red and green quantum dots. The second type is organic dyes, including various organic conjugated small molecules with chromophores. These organic dyes generally have higher extinction coefficients than quantum dots, but due to intramolecular thermal relaxation and the high vibrational energy within the organic molecules, the emission peaks of these materials are broader, typically exceeding 60nm. In addition, organic dyes generally suffer from concentration quenching, which causes the quantum efficiency of organic dyes to drop sharply at high concentrations.
[0005] Previous patent applications by the present inventors have disclosed color converters with a host-guest combination, where the host has a high extinction coefficient and the guest has a narrow luminescence spectrum. This provides a new design approach for developing thinner color converters. However, the luminescence efficiency of the aggregated state of the host material still needs to be significantly improved. Summary of the Invention

[0082] 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.
[0083] 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.
[0084] 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).
[0085] 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.

[0258] 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 density functional theory method "Ground State / DFT / Default Spin / B3LYP" with the basis set "6-31G(d)" (Charge 0 / Spin Singlet). The energy structure of the organic molecule is then calculated using the TD-DFT (time-dependent density functional theory) method "TD-SCF / DFT / Default Spin / B3PW91" with the basis set "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.
[0259] HOMO(eV)=((HOMO(G)×27.212)-0.9899) / 1.1206
