Description

A boron-nitrogen compound, an OLED having the compound, and an organic light-emitting device. Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic optoelectronic material preparation technology, specifically to a boron-nitrogen compound, an OLED having the compound, and an organic light-emitting device. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of multimedia technology and the increasing demands for information technology, the requirements for panel display performance are becoming increasingly stringent. Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), also known as organic electroluminescent devices, are a technology that converts electrical energy into light energy through organic light-emitting materials. This technology involves applying voltage to organic electroluminescent elements to inject holes from the anode and electrons from the cathode into the light-emitting layer. The injected holes and electrons then recombine to form excitons, causing light to be emitted.

[0003] Most OLED devices use a host-guest light-emitting system for their emissive layers, which involves doping a guest material into the host material. In the field of OLED materials, scholars and researchers have actively studied organic materials with light-emitting properties such as blue (one of the three primary colors of light) and organic materials with charge transport capabilities such as holes and electrons (potentially becoming semiconductors or superconductors). Using composite materials to prepare organic functional layers is a common method for improving device performance.

[0004] However, even with the combination of multiple materials, display technology still suffers from high driving voltage and short display lifespan, severely hindering its further practical application. Therefore, continuous efforts are needed to develop organic light-emitting devices with low-voltage driving, high brightness, and long lifespan, and to find suitable OLED optoelectronic functional materials for OLED devices to address these issues—a long-term need in this field.

[0087] The following are several examples of applications of the boron nitride compounds described in this invention in OLED devices to further illustrate the beneficial effects of the compounds. The materials used in the examples were either commercially available or synthesized in-house.

[0088] Manufacturing of OLED devices:

[0089] As a reference fabrication method for one embodiment of the device, the present invention involves depositing a 50-500 nm ITO / Ag / ITO layer as the anode on an alkali-free glass substrate. Then, a hole injection layer (5 nm-20 nm), a hole transport layer (50-120 nm), a light-emitting auxiliary layer (5-120 nm), a light-emitting layer (20-50 nm), an electron transport layer (20-80 nm), and an electron injection layer (1-10 nm) are deposited on the anode. Next, Mg and Ag (weight ratio 10:1, 10-50 nm) are co-deposited to form a semi-transparent cathode, followed by the deposition of a capping compound. Finally, the light-emitting device is encapsulated using epoxy resin adhesive under a nitrogen atmosphere.

[0090] In a preferred embodiment, the OLED device provided by the present invention has the following structure: First, an alkali-free glass substrate is washed with isopropanol for 15 minutes using an ultrasonic cleaner, followed by a 30-minute UV ozone cleaning treatment in air. The treated substrate is then vacuum-deposited with ITO / Ag / ITO 100nm as the anode. Next, a hole injection layer (HT:PD, 10nm, 2%), a hole transport layer (NPB, 30nm), a light-emitting auxiliary layer (BP, 5nm), a blue light-emitting layer (body material; dopant material = compound BH-1: compound 1-001 (weight ratio 97:3, 30nm)), an electron transport layer (compound ET:Liq = 1:1, 30nm), and an electron injection layer (LiF, 0.5nm) are sequentially deposited. Finally, Mg and Ag (weight ratio 10:1, 15nm) are co-deposited to form a semi-transparent cathode. Finally, compound CPL (65nm) is deposited as a capping layer. Finally, the light-emitting device was encapsulated using epoxy resin adhesive under a nitrogen atmosphere, referred to as Application Example 1. The molecular structural formulas of the relevant materials are shown below (particularly preferably selected from the following structures, but this does not mean that the invention is limited to the following structures):

[0091] Application Examples 2-20 and Comparative Example 1 were prepared using the method described in Application Example 1 above, the only difference being that compounds listed in Table 1 were used as dopant materials to replace compound 1-001 in Application Example 1. The dopant material in Comparative Example 1 is as follows:

[0092] Performance evaluation of OLED devices:

[0093] The current of the OLED device at different voltages was measured using a Keithley 2365A digital nanovoltmeter, and then the current density of the OLED device at different voltages was obtained by dividing the current by the emitting area. The brightness and radiant energy flux density of the OLED device at different voltages were measured using a Konicaminolta CS-2000 spectroradiometer. Based on the current density and brightness of the OLED device at different voltages, the current density (10 mA / cm²) at the same voltage was obtained. 2 The operating voltage (Volt) and current efficiency (cd / A) are given by BI = E / CIEy, which refers to the Blue Index in blue light and is also a parameter measuring the luminous efficiency of blue light. E refers to the current efficiency, and CIEy refers to the ordinate color point obtained by substituting the wavelength of the device's emission half-width into the CIE1930 software. The test data are shown in Table 1.

[0094] Table 1 Organic Electroluminescent Devices and Electroluminescence Characteristics

[0095] As shown in Table 1, compared with Comparative Example 1, Application Examples 1 to 20 exhibit lower operating voltage, higher BI luminous efficiency, and longer lifespan. The performance improvements in each application example are based on the introduction of fluorenyl groups and diphenylamino groups, as well as the groups defined below the parent core, in this invention. This results in better luminous efficiency of the boron-nitrogen compound material. Furthermore, the doping materials in this invention have excellent compatibility, enabling the blue light-emitting layer to achieve better balance in electron and hole transport and exciton conversion efficiency, thereby reducing device power consumption and extending lifespan.
