Description

Organic compounds and electronic components and devices using them

[0001] Cross-reference to related applications

[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. CN202410798695.6, filed on June 19, 2024, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] This application relates to the field of organic electroluminescence technology, and more specifically, to an organic compound and electronic components and devices using the same. Background Technology

[0004] With the development of electronic technology and the advancement of materials science, the application range of electronic components used to achieve electroluminescence or photoelectric conversion is becoming increasingly wide. These electronic components typically include a cathode and an anode positioned opposite each other, and a functional layer disposed between the cathode and the anode. This functional layer consists of multiple organic or inorganic film layers and generally includes an energy conversion layer, a hole transport layer located between the energy conversion layer and the anode, and an electron transport layer located between the energy conversion layer and the cathode.

[0005] Taking organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) as an example, they generally include an anode, a hole transport layer, an organic light-emitting layer (OLED) serving as an energy conversion layer, an electron transport layer, and a cathode, stacked sequentially. When a voltage is applied to the anode and cathode, an electric field is generated between the two electrodes. Under the influence of this electric field, electrons on the cathode side move towards the OLED, and holes on the anode side also move towards the OLED. Electrons and holes combine in the OLED to form excitons, which release energy in an excited state, thus causing the OLED to emit light. Although existing technologies disclose materials that can be used in organic light-emitting diodes, it is still necessary to continue developing new materials to further improve the performance of electronic components. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this application is to provide an organic compound and electronic components and devices using the same, wherein using the organic compound in an organic electroluminescent device can improve the device's performance.

[0007] A first aspect of this application provides an organic compound having the structure shown in Formula 1:

[0008] R1 and R2 may be the same or different, and each is independently selected from methyl or phenyl;

[0009] L1 and L2 may be the same or different, and each is independently selected from single bonds, substituted or unsubstituted aryl groups with 6 to 30 carbon atoms, and substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl groups with 3 to 30 carbon atoms.

[0010] Ar1 and Ar2 may be the same or different, and each is independently selected from substituted or unsubstituted aryl groups with 6 to 30 carbon atoms, or substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl groups containing O or S with 3 to 30 carbon atoms.

[0011] The substituents in L1, L2, Ar1, and Ar2 may be the same or different, and each is independently selected from deuterium, halogen groups, cyano groups, alkyl groups with 1 to 10 carbon atoms, haloalkyl groups with 1 to 10 carbon atoms, deuteralkyl groups with 1 to 10 carbon atoms, trialkylsilyl groups with 3 to 12 carbon atoms, aryl groups with 6 to 20 carbon atoms, or heteroaryl groups containing O or S with 3 to 20 carbon atoms.

[0012] A second aspect of this application provides an electronic component including an anode and a cathode disposed opposite to each other, and a functional layer disposed between the anode and the cathode; the functional layer comprising the organic compound described in the first aspect of this application.

[0013] A third aspect of this application provides an electronic device including the electronic components described in the second aspect of this application.

[0014] The compound presented in this application is formed with a 2-fluorenyl-1-phenylnaphthalene core and a triarylamine attached to the phenyl group of the core. On one hand, the fluorenyl group at position 2 and the aromatic amine at position 1 form a spherical stereostructure, regulating the molecular configuration and providing steric hindrance to the overall molecular structure, preventing intermolecular stacking and resulting in better film-forming properties, thus improving lifetime. On the other hand, the strong conjugation effect between the core and the triarylamine via phenyl bonding enhances the local electron cloud density, allowing the material to maintain high hole mobility while possessing deep HOMO energy levels, thereby improving the hole transport capability and ultimately enhancing the luminous efficiency of the device. Using this material as the hole transport layer in organic electroluminescent devices can effectively enhance device efficiency and extend device lifetime.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this application will be more comprehensive and complete, and will fully convey the concept of exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art. The described features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. In the following description, numerous specific details are provided to give a full understanding of embodiments of this application.

[0023] In a first aspect, this application provides an organic compound having the structure shown in Formula 1:

[0024] R1 and R2 may be the same or different, and each is independently selected from methyl or phenyl;

[0027] The substituents in L1, L2, Ar1, and Ar2 may be the same or different, and each is independently selected from deuterium, halogen groups, cyano groups, alkyl groups with 1 to 10 carbon atoms, haloalkyl groups with 1 to 10 carbon atoms, deuteralkyl groups with 1 to 10 carbon atoms, trialkylsilyl groups with 3 to 12 carbon atoms, aryl groups with 6 to 20 carbon atoms, or heteroaryl groups containing O or S with 3 to 20 carbon atoms.

[0028] In this application, the descriptive terms "each independently selected from" and "separately independently selected from" are interchangeable and should be interpreted broadly. They can mean either that the specific options expressed by the same symbol in different groups do not affect each other, or that the specific options expressed by the same symbol in the same group do not affect each other. For example, In this formula, each q is independently 0, 1, 2 or 3, and each R is independently selected from hydrogen, deuterium, fluorine or chlorine. The meaning is as follows: Formula Q-1 indicates that there are q substituents R on the benzene ring. Each R can be the same or different, and the options of each R do not affect each other. Formula Q-2 indicates that there are q substituents R on each benzene ring of biphenyl. The number q of substituents R on the two benzene rings can be the same or different, and each R can be the same or different. The options of each R do not affect each other.

[0029] In this application, the term "substituted or unsubstituted" means that the functional group described after the term may or may not have substituents (hereinafter, for ease of description, substituents are collectively referred to as Rc). For example, "substituted or unsubstituted aryl" refers to an aryl group having a substituent Rc or an unsubstituted aryl group. The aforementioned substituents, i.e., Rc, can be, for example, deuterium, halogen groups, cyano, alkyl, trialkylsilyl, haloalkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, etc.

This indicates that one end of the linker can be connected to any position in the ring system it traverses, and the other end is connected to the rest of the compound molecule. For example, as shown in equation (f) below, the naphthyl group represented by equation (f) is connected to other positions in the molecule via two non-positional linkers that traverse the bicyclic ring. This means that any possible connection mode shown in equations (f-1) to (f-10) is included.
