Description

Compound and organic light-emitting device containing the same

[0001] This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2024-0088475 filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on July 4, 2024, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

[0002] The present specification relates to a compound and an organic light-emitting device comprising the same.

[0003] In general, organic light emitting phenomenon refers to a phenomenon that converts electrical energy into light energy using organic materials. Organic light emitting devices that utilize the organic light emitting phenomenon typically have a structure that includes an anode, a cathode, and an organic layer between them. Here, the organic layer is often composed of a multilayer structure composed of different materials to increase the efficiency and stability of the organic light emitting device, and can be composed of, for example, a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light emitting layer, an electron transport layer, and an electron injection layer. In the structure of such an organic light emitting device, when a voltage is applied between the two electrodes, holes are injected from the anode and electrons are injected from the cathode into the organic layer, and when the injected holes and electrons meet, excitons are formed, and when these excitons fall back to the ground state, light is emitted.

[0004] There is a continuing need for the development of new materials for organic light-emitting devices such as the above.

[0005] The present specification provides a compound and an organic light-emitting device comprising the same.

[0006] One embodiment of the present disclosure provides a compound of the following chemical formula 1.

[0007] [Chemical Formula 1]

[0010] m and n are 0 or 1, respectively,

[0011] m+n is 1,

[0012] D is deuterium,

[0013] x1, x3, x4 and x7 are integers from 0 to 4, respectively.

[0014] x2 is an integer from 0 to 3,

[0015] x5 and x6 are integers from 0 to 5, respectively.

[0016] x8 is an integer from 0 to 8,

[0017] In the above chemical formula 1 The deuterium substitution rate is over 90%,

[0018] * is a site that is bonded to the above chemical formula 1.

[0019] In addition, one embodiment of the present specification provides an organic light-emitting device including a first electrode; a second electrode; and at least one organic layer provided between the first electrode and the second electrode, wherein at least one of the organic layers includes the compound described above.

[0020] The compounds described herein can be used as materials for an organic layer of an organic light-emitting device. The compounds according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure can improve efficiency, lower operating voltage, and / or enhance lifespan characteristics in an organic light-emitting device. In particular, the compounds described herein can be used as materials for a light-emitting layer. In addition, compared to existing organic light-emitting devices, they have the effects of lower operating voltage, higher efficiency, and / or longer lifespan.

[0021] Figures 1 and 2 illustrate examples of organic light-emitting devices according to one embodiment of the present specification.

[0022] Figure 3 is an MS graph of compound A.

[0023] [Explanation of symbols]

[0024] 1: Substrate

[0025] 2: First electrode

[0026] 3: Second electrode

[0027] 4: Organic layer

[0028] 5: Hole injection layer

[0029] 6: Hole transport layer

[0030] 7: Electron blocking layer

[0031] 8: Emissive layer

[0032] 9: Hole blocking layer

[0033] 10: Electron injection and transport layer

[0034] Hereinafter, the present specification will be described in more detail.

[0035] The present specification provides a compound of the above chemical formula 1.

[0036] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, chemical formula 1 can prevent a host-guest electrostatic bonding state of an organic layer of an organic light-emitting device including the same by increasing the LUMO energy level of the compound including a biscarbazole structure. In addition, the phenyl group and phenylene-carbazole bonded to a specific position of the biscarbazole have a structural feature of stabilizing the excited and polaronic states of the chemical formula 1 by participating in the conjugation system through a hyperconjugation effect. Therefore, the chemical formula 1 can be included in the organic layer of the organic light-emitting device to improve efficiency, lower operating voltage, and improve lifespan characteristics.

[0037] In addition, the physicochemical properties such as chemical bond length related to deuterium are different from those of hydrogen, and the stretching amplitude of the CD bond is smaller than that of the CH bond, so the van der Waals radius of deuterium is smaller than that of hydrogen, and it can be shown that the CD bond is generally shorter and stronger than the CH bond. Therefore, in the chemical formula 1 above, Since the deuterium substitution rate is more than 90%, the energy of the ground state is lowered, and as the bond length of deuterium and carbon is shortened, the molecular hardcore volume is reduced, and accordingly, the electrical polarizability can be reduced, and by weakening the intermolecular interaction, the thin film volume can be increased. In addition, these characteristics can have the effect of lowering the crystallinity of the thin film, that is, creating an amorphous state, and can be generally effective in increasing the lifespan and operating characteristics of organic light-emitting devices, and the heat resistance can be improved compared to conventional organic light-emitting devices.

[0159] According to one embodiment of the present specification, the physicochemical properties such as chemical bond length related to deuterium are different from those of hydrogen, and the elongation amplitude of CD bond is smaller than that of CH bond, so the van der Waals radius of deuterium is smaller than that of hydrogen, and in general, CD bond can be shown to be shorter and stronger than CH bond. Therefore, in the chemical formula 1 Since the deuterium substitution rate is more than 90%, the energy of the ground state is lowered, and as the bond length of deuterium and carbon is shortened, the molecular hardcore volume is reduced, and accordingly, the electrical polarizability can be reduced, and by weakening the intermolecular interaction, the thin film volume can be increased. In addition, these characteristics can have the effect of lowering the crystallinity of the thin film, that is, creating an amorphous state, and can be generally effective in increasing the lifespan and operating characteristics of organic light-emitting devices, and the heat resistance can be improved compared to conventional organic light-emitting devices.

[0160] As used herein, “deuterium substitution,” “deuterium containing,” “deuterated,” or “deuterated” means that a hydrogen at a substitutable position of a compound is replaced with deuterium.

[0161] As used herein, “perdeuterated” means a compound or group in which all hydrogens in the molecule are replaced with deuterium, and has the same meaning as “100% deuterated.”

[0162] In the present specification, “X% deuterated”, “degree of deuteration X%”, or “deuterium substitution rate X%” means that X% of the hydrogens at substitutable positions in the structure are replaced with deuterium. For example, when the structure is dibenzofuran, “25% deuterated” of the dibenzofuran, “degree of deuteration 25%” of the dibenzofuran, or “deuterium substitution rate 25%” of the dibenzofuran means that 2 out of 8 hydrogens at substitutable positions of the dibenzofuran are replaced with deuterium.

[0163] In this specification, "degree of deuteration" or "deuterium substitution rate" refers to the degree of deuteration as measured by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( 1It can be confirmed by known methods such as H NMR), TLC / MS (Thin-Layer Chromatography / Mass Spectrometry), or GC / MS (Gas Chromatography / Mass Spectrometry).

[0164] Specifically, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( 1 When analyzing the "degree of deuteration" or "deuterium substitution rate" by H NMR, add DMF (dimethylformamide) as an internal standard. 1 Through the integration ratio on H NMR, the degree of deuteration or deuterium substitution can be calculated from the total peak integration amount.

[0165] In addition, when analyzing the "degree of deuteration" or "deuterium substitution rate" through TLC / MS (Thin-Layer Chromatography / Mass Spectrometry), the substitution rate can be calculated based on the maximum value (median value) of the distribution of molecular weights at the end of the reaction. For example, when analyzing the degree of deuteration of the following compound A, when the molecular weight of the following starting material is 506 and the maximum molecular weight value (median value) of the following compound A in the MS graph of FIG. 3 is 527, since 21 of the hydrogens (26) at the substitutable positions of the following starting material were substituted with deuterium, it can be calculated that approximately 81% of the hydrogens were deuterated.

[0166]

[0167] In this specification, D means deuterium.

[0168] According to one embodiment of the present specification, the chemical formula 1 is any one of the following compounds.

[0169]

[0171]

[0172]

[0173]

[0174]

[0175]

[0176]

[0177] In the above compound,

[0178] Dn is the number of deuterium atoms substituted in the compound in parentheses,

[0179] The above Dn is an integer from 14 to 31,

[0180] The deuterium substitution rates of the above compounds are 45.1% to 100%, respectively.

[0181] In addition, the present specification provides an organic light-emitting device comprising the compound described above.

[0182] When it is said in this specification that a member is located "on" another member, this includes not only cases where the member is in contact with the other member, but also cases where another member exists between the two members.

[0183] When a part in this specification is said to "include" a certain component, this does not mean that it excludes other components, but rather that it may include other components, unless otherwise specifically stated.

[0184] In this specification, the term "layer" is interchangeable with the term "film", which is commonly used in the present technical field, and refers to a coating covering a target area.

According to one embodiment, the size of the "layer" may be the same as the entire device, may correspond to the size of a specific functional area, or may be as small as a single sub-pixel.

[0185] In this specification, the meaning of a specific A material being included in a B layer includes both i) one or more A materials being included in one B layer and ii) the B layer being composed of one or more layers and the A material being included in one or more layers of the multiple B layers.

[0187] In this specification, the term n-type refers to a material that is generally known to be capable of stealing electrons from a matrix material (material of the organic layer), but is not limited thereto. In other words, n-type can be defined as a material that has the property of donating electrons to the LUMO (lowest unoccupied molecular orbital) energy level of the matrix. On the other hand, a p-type is a material that receives electrons from the HOMO (highest occupied molecular orbital) energy level of a material located in the adjacent cathode direction when forming a single layer with only p-type materials, and creates holes in the material located in the adjacent cathode direction, or when a p-type material is doped into an arbitrary matrix, it is a material that receives electrons from the HOMO of the matrix material and creates holes in the HOMO of the matrix to that extent. To this end, when forming a layer with only p-type materials, the closer the HOMO level of the material located in the cathode direction is to the LUMO of the p-type material, the easier it is to steal electrons from the HOMO of the adjacent layer and create holes in the HOMO of the adjacent layer. Also, when a p-type is doped into an arbitrary matrix, the closer the LUMO of the p-type material is to the HOMO of the matrix, the easier it is to steal electrons and create holes in the matrix.

The detergent was a Fischer Co. product, and the distilled water was secondarily filtered using a Millipore Co. filter. After washing the ITO for 30 minutes, ultrasonically cleaned twice with distilled water for 10 minutes each. After washing with distilled water, ultrasonically cleaned with a solvent of isopropyl alcohol, acetone, and methanol, dried, and then transferred to a plasma cleaner.

[0404] As shown in Table 1 above, the organic light-emitting devices of Examples 1-1 to 1-8, which use the compound of Chemical Formula 1 of the present specification, in which a carbazole group is bonded to a specific position of biscarbazole through a phenylene group, and the deuterium substitution rate of the biscarbazole compound is 90% or more, and a phenyl group is substituted in the biscarbazole, as a p-type host of the light-emitting layer, exhibited excellent characteristics in terms of efficiency, driving voltage, and stability of the organic light-emitting device. Specifically, it can be seen that the organic light-emitting devices of Examples 1-1 to 1-8 of the present specification are superior in efficiency, driving voltage, and lifespan (stability) due to the following structural features compared to Comparative Examples 1-1 and 1-6 using compounds in which deuterium is not substituted, Comparative Examples 1-3 and 1-5 using compounds in which the deuterium substitution rate of biscarbazole is less than 90%, and Comparative Examples 1-2 and 1-4 using compounds in which the phenyl group is not substituted in the biscarbazole.

[0405] The above chemical formula 1 can prevent a host-guest electrostatic bonding state of an organic layer of an organic light-emitting device including the same by increasing the LUMO energy level of the compound including the biscarbazole structure. In addition, the phenyl group bonded to a specific position of the biscarbazole and the carbazole group bonded to a specific position of the biscarbazole through a phenylene group have a structural feature that participates in the conjugation system through a hyperconjugation effect to stabilize the excited and polaronic states of the above chemical formula 1. Therefore, the above chemical formula 1 can be included in the organic layer of the organic light-emitting device to improve efficiency, lower operating voltage, and improve lifespan characteristics.

[0406] In addition, the chemical formula 1 Since the deuterium substitution rate is more than 90%, the energy of the ground state is lowered, and as the bond length of deuterium and carbon is shortened, the molecular hardcore volume is reduced, and accordingly, the electrical polarizability can be reduced, and by weakening the intermolecular interaction, the thin film volume can be increased. In addition, these characteristics can have the effect of lowering the crystallinity of the thin film, that is, creating an amorphous state, and are effective in increasing the lifespan and operating characteristics of organic light-emitting devices.

[0407] Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention (BH p-type of the light-emitting layer) has been described above, the present invention is not limited thereto, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the claims and the detailed description of the invention, and this also falls within the scope of the invention.
