Description

Boron-containing compound, electroluminescent device and display panel

[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202410480910.8, filed on April 19, 2024, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present application relates to the technical field of organic optoelectronic materials, in particular to a boron-containing compound, an electroluminescent device and a display panel. BACKGROUND

[0003] An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) has a wide application prospect in the fields of flexible display and solid-state lighting due to its advantages of self-luminescence, high contrast, wide viewing angle, high luminous efficiency, fast response, thinness, foldability and the like. The core of an OLED is a guest light-emitting material. The guest light-emitting material has developed from a traditional fluorescent material to a phosphorescent material, and then to a thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) material in recent years. Under electrically excited, the ratio of singlet exciton to triplet exciton is 1:3. In a fluorescent material, triplet excitons are transition-forbidden, so the fluorescent material can only utilize 25% of singlet excitons, resulting in that the efficiency of the corresponding electroluminescent device is difficult to break through 5%. A phosphorescent material can utilize the spin-orbit coupling effect of a heavy metal atom, and can utilize triplet excitons to radiate transition luminescence. However, the stability of a blue phosphorescent material is poor, and deep blue light emission cannot be achieved. A thermally activated delayed fluorescence material is a material with a small singlet-triplet energy level difference, which makes triplet excitons reach an excited singlet state through a reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) process, and then radiate transition luminescence, realizing the utilization of triplet excitons. However, the lifetime of such a material is mostly short, and the half-peak width of the luminescence peak is wide, resulting in low color purity of luminescence, which cannot meet the needs of industrial applications.

[0004] Based on the above-mentioned defects, luminescent materials with high luminescent efficiency, high luminescent color purity and long luminescent lifetime need to be developed.

[0041] Specifically, may be selected from any one of the following structures:

[0042] wherein "*" represents a connection site;

[0043] R 1 may be independently selected from H, a substituted or unsubstituted C6-C 40 aryl, or a substituted or unsubstituted C5-C 40 heteroaryl at each occurrence;

[0044] In some embodiments, adjacent R 1 may or can not form a ring.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present application, the boron-containing compound has a structure according to Formula (I-1) or Formula (I-2):

[0050] By alternating the electron-deficient B element with the electron-rich N element, the multi-resonance thermal activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF) is constructed by using the opposite resonance effect of B and N atoms. The highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) are induced to be located on different atoms by the multi-resonance effect, so that the bonding / antibonding characteristics between atoms are weakened, the change of electron density between atoms caused by the lowest excited state to the ground state radiation transition is largely reduced, and the stretching vibration is reduced, so that narrow spectrum emission (FWHM<30nm) is effectively realized. At the same time, the thermal activated delayed fluorescence property of the molecule also ensures the high luminous efficiency of the material.

[0051] The boron-containing compound having the above formula (I-1) or (I-2) is easy to obtain a better horizontal dipole orientation under the condition of electrically excited by designing an asymmetrically substituted boron-nitrogen molecule, and the light-emitting efficiency of the device can be enhanced. Under the premise of affecting the spectral full width at half maximum, the introduction of a large steric hindrance heterocyclic aromatic fragment makes the molecule present a certain twisted structure, which is helpful to inhibit the concentration quenching effect. The introduction of heteroatoms such as oxygen and sulfur is beneficial to enhance the spin-orbit coupling effect of the molecule, so that the molecule has a shorter delay lifetime, which is helpful to alleviate the efficiency roll-off problem of the device.

[0188] Compared with the electroluminescent devices prepared in device examples 1-10, the electroluminescent devices prepared in device examples 11-20 can further reduce the operating voltage, improve the luminous efficiency and prolong the service life. The possible reason is that by introducing phosphorescent material into the light-emitting layer, the high-efficiency phosphorescent material can capture the triplet excitons in the electroluminescent device in combination with the compound provided in the embodiments of the present application, and transfer the energy to the fluorescent molecules (the compound provided in the present application) by energy transfer to make the fluorescent molecules emit light, thereby realizing the utilization of high-efficiency triplet excitons while maintaining the narrow spectrum of the fluorescent molecules, and further realizing the electroluminescent device with high efficiency, high color purity and high stability.
