AI Technical Summary
There is a contradiction between improving luminous efficiency and color purity in existing organic light-emitting devices. In particular, the introduction of fluorine atoms in blue light-emitting elements leads to insufficient interfacial bonding, which affects the stability and lifespan of the devices.
By employing a capping material containing compounds of formula I and/or formula II, the refractive index is reduced and the adhesion between the capping layer and the cathode is enhanced by introducing a cyclic imide structure. The weak interaction between heteroatoms and the cathode is utilized to enhance intermolecular forces.
It improves the light extraction efficiency of the device, suppresses interlayer delamination, and enhances the structural stability and lifespan of the device.

Abstract
Description
Compound, cover layer material and organic light-emitting device TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of organic light-emitting materials, in particular to a compound, a cover layer material and an organic light-emitting device. BACKGROUND
[0002] Organic light-emitting devices have been widely used in various main display screens and the like, and their practicality has made great progress. Although the research on organic electroluminescence has progressed very rapidly, there are still many problems to be solved, such as the need to improve the external quantum efficiency (EQE). For an organic light-emitting device, the luminescence quantum efficiency of the device is a comprehensive reflection of various factors and is also an important indicator for measuring the quality of the device.
[0003] At present, some high-performance organic light-emitting materials have been commercialized, among which the use of specific structure amine derivatives with high refractive index or the use of materials meeting specific parameter requirements as a cover layer can improve the light extraction efficiency and color purity to a certain extent. However, the existing solutions have not solved the problem of difficult trade-off between luminous efficiency and color purity, especially in the preparation of blue light-emitting elements, where this contradiction is more prominent.
[0004] In view of this, some researchers have proposed the use of a stacked cover layer structure of a high refractive layer and a low refractive layer to improve the light extraction efficiency and color purity. However, the existing technology generally reduces the refractive index of the material by introducing fluorine atoms, which has obvious drawbacks in practical application. For example, the introduction of fluorine atoms will weaken the interfacial adhesion between the material and the cathode (such as Ag electrode), which is prone to cause interlayer peeling, thereby affecting the structural stability and service life of the device.

[0038] The following description provides specific application scenarios and requirements of the present application, in order to enable those skilled in the art to manufacture and use the content of the present application.

Therefore, the present application is not limited to the embodiments shown, but is consistent with the widest scope of the claims.
[0039] In view of the urgent need to improve the peeling adhesion between the cover layer and the cathode, the present inventors have found, through extensive research, that the introduction of heteroatoms (O, N) into the molecules of the cover layer material and the construction of a cyclic imide structure can maintain strong interlocking force between the cover layer and the cathode, effectively inhibit interlayer peeling, and at the same time, the material also has a high glass transition temperature (Tg). The reason is that, on the one hand, the lone pair of electrons of the heteroatom can form a weak interaction with the cathode, thereby improving the interfacial peeling adhesion; on the other hand, the planar rigid structure of the cyclic imide is conducive to the close packing of molecules, enhancing the intermolecular forces, not only giving the material a high glass transition temperature, but also further inhibiting interlayer peeling by strengthening the structural stability.

[0104] The introduction of cyclic imide structure can optimize the refractive index and peel adhesion of the material, but due to the rigid properties of cyclic imide, the evaporation port is prone to be blocked in the vacuum evaporation process due to the sublimation properties, affecting the stability of the film forming process.

The above improvement realizes the synergistic improvement of process adaptability, optical performance and interfacial bonding performance of the material.

[0177] Coating according to the following structure: ITO substrate (40 mm*40 mm) / Ag (200 nm) / compound film layer (1200 nm), and the compound film layer material is selected from the compounds 1-2 to 10-2, CPL-1, CPL-4, CPL-5 of the present application, wherein the molecular structures of CPL-1, CPL-4, and CPL-5 are shown in the Device Preparation Example.
[0178] The test tape (model: 3M681) was bonded on one side of the coating layer, and the other side was clamped with a clamp, and the test was carried out at a speed of 200 mm / min.

[0179] Table 8 Peeling performance test results
[0180] As can be seen from Table 8, compared with the existing fluorine-containing compound (CPL-1), the peeling adhesion of the compounds 1-2 to 10-2 of the application to the cathode Ag has been significantly improved; in particular, although the compound 5-2 of the application introduces a fluorine atom, it still exhibits strong peeling adhesion; further, the Ak1 and Ak2 of the compounds of the application are chain alkyl, which has significantly improved the peeling adhesion compared with the Ak1 and Ak2 being cycloalkyl (CPL-4), and compared with the Ak1 and Ak2 being aryl (CPL-5), the peeling adhesion of the compounds except the compound 5-2 which introduces a fluorine atom has been significantly improved.
[0181] Vacuum sublimation test
[0182] 5.0 g of the sample was placed in a vacuum sublimation instrument for OLED (model: Svac-Sub100), and the pressure was reduced to a vacuum degree less than 5.0 x 10 -3 Pa, and the sample was slowly heated and observed in the sublimation boat, and recorded as a melting type or a sublimation type. Among them, "melting type" means that the sample is first converted from solid to liquid (i.e. melting) under the condition of reduced pressure and vacuum heating, and then further converted to gaseous state; "sublimation type" means that the sample is directly gasified under the condition of reduced pressure and vacuum heating.
[0183] Table 9 Vacuum sublimation test results
[0184] As can be seen from Table 9, after replacing Ak1 and Ak2 with chain alkyl instead of cycloalkyl (CPL-4) or aryl (CPL-5), the sublimation state of the molecule is changed from sublimation type to melting type, which can effectively avoid the problem of equipment blockage caused by direct sublimation during evaporation process, significantly improve the stability of evaporation process and film forming quality, indicating that the compounds of the application are more suitable for evaporation process of OLED materials.

[0190] (2) The reflective anode 2 was subjected to ultraviolet ozone washing treatment for 10 minutes, and a hole injection layer 3 (NPD and F4-TCNQ at a weight ratio of 97:3, 50 nm), a hole transport layer 4 (NPD, 80 nm), a blue light emitting layer 5 (BH and BD at a weight ratio of 97:3, 20 nm), an electron transport layer 6 (Alq3, 35 nm), an electron injection layer 7 (LiF, 1 nm), and a semi-transparent cathode 8 (Mg and Ag at a weight ratio of 10:1, 15 nm) were sequentially deposited on the reflective anode 2 by vacuum deposition.
[0191] (3) On the semi-transparent cathode 8, a low refractive index capping layer 91 of 10 nm in thickness was formed by depositing the compound 1 prepared in Example 1, and a high refractive index capping layer 92 of 50 nm in thickness was formed by depositing the compound CPL-2 on the low refractive index capping layer 91.
[0192] (4) The organic light emitting device was prepared by packaging the alkali-free glass sealing plate with an epoxy adhesive in a glove box under a dry nitrogen atmosphere.
[0193] Examples 64 to 86
[0194] The organic light emitting device was prepared in the same manner as in Example 63, except that the compound 2 to 20 and the compound 22 to 25 prepared in the foregoing examples were used instead of the compound 1 when forming the low refractive index capping layer 91.
[0195] Comparative Example 1
[0196] The only difference from Example 63 is that the low refractive index capping layer 91 was not provided.
[0197] Comparative Example 2
[0198] The only difference from Example 63 is that the high refractive index capping layer 92 was not provided.
[0199] Comparative Example 3
[0200] The only difference from Example 63 is that the material of the low refractive index capping layer 91 was the compound CPL-1.
[0201] Comparative Example 4
[0202] The only difference from Example 63 is that the material of the low-refractive-index cover layer 91 is compound CPL-3.
[0203] Device performance test
[0204] The refractive index of the cover layer was tested by an ellipsometry (J.A. Woollam Co. Inc M-2000). The brightness and color purity of the device were tested by a luminance meter (CS1000, Konica Minolta Optics, Inc.) with a spectroradiometer under the condition of 10 mA / cm2direct current and room temperature and normal pressure. The luminous efficiency and color purity were obtained from the test results as shown in the following table. 2
[0205] Table 10 Luminous efficiency and color purity results
[0206] In Table 10, n1 refers to the refractive index of the low-refractive-index cover layer for 460 nm wavelength light, and n2 refers to the refractive index of the high-refractive-index cover layer for 460 nm wavelength light. According to the results of Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, when the high-refractive-index cover layer or the low-refractive-index cover layer is used alone, the luminous efficiency of the device is low, and the color purity is not high. According to the results of Examples 63 to 86 and Comparative Examples 3 to 4, although Comparative Example 3 and Comparative Example 4 are provided with both the high-refractive-index cover layer and the low-refractive-index cover layer, the luminous efficiency of the device is improved, but the color purity of the device is still not high. When the material of the high-refractive-index cover layer is kept unchanged, and the low-refractive-index cover layer is prepared by using the compound of the present application, not only the luminous efficiency of the device can be improved, but also the color purity can be improved.
[0207] Therefore, the low-refractive-index cover layer can be prepared by using the compound of the present application, and the low-refractive-index cover layer has strong adhesion between the low-refractive-index cover layer and the cathode, is not easy to fall off between layers, and has a high Tg. At the same time, when the low-refractive-index cover layer and the high-refractive-index cover layer together form the cover layer structure of the organic light-emitting device, the luminous efficiency and color purity of the device can be significantly improved.
[0208] Example 87
[0209] Referring to FIG. 1, the method for preparing the organic light-emitting device of the present embodiment includes the following steps:
[0210] (1) After the alkali-free glass 1 is ultrasonically washed in isopropyl alcohol for 15 minutes, the alkali-free glass 1 is treated with ultraviolet ozone in the atmosphere for 30 minutes, and then a 100 nm silver (Ag) film and a 10 nm ITO film (not distinguished in the figure) are formed on the alkali-free glass 1 in sequence by a sputtering method, to form a reflective anode 2.
[0211] (2) The reflective anode 2 was subjected to ultraviolet ozone washing treatment for 10 minutes, and a hole injection layer 3 (NPD and F4-TCNQ at a weight ratio of 97:3, 50 nm), a hole transport layer 4 (NPD, 80 nm), a blue light emitting layer 5 (BH and BD at a weight ratio of 97:3, 20 nm), an electron transport layer 6 (Alq3, 35 nm), and an electron injection layer 7 (LiF, 1 nm) were sequentially deposited on the reflective anode 2 by vacuum deposition, followed by co-deposition of Mg and Ag (at a weight ratio of 10:1, 15 nm) as a semi-transparent cathode 8.
[0212] (3) On the semi-transparent cathode 8, a low-refractive index capping layer 91 was formed to a thickness of 10 nm by deposition of the compound 1-1 prepared in Example 25, and a high-refractive index capping layer 92 was deposited on the low-refractive index capping layer 91 to a thickness of 50 nm by deposition of the compound CPL-2.
[0213] (4) The organic light emitting device was prepared by packaging the alkali-free glass sealing plate with an epoxy resin adhesive in a glove box under a dry nitrogen atmosphere.
[0214] Examples 88 to 114
[0215] The organic light emitting device was prepared by the same method as in Example 87, except that the compound 1-1 was replaced by the compounds 2-1 to 28-1 prepared in the foregoing examples, respectively, in forming the low-refractive index capping layer 91.
[0216] Comparative Example 5
[0217] The difference from Example 87 is only that the low-refractive index capping layer 91 was not provided.
[0218] Comparative Example 6
[0219] The difference from Example 87 is only that the high-refractive index capping layer 92 was not provided.
[0220] Comparative Example 7
[0221] The difference from Example 87 is only that the material of the low-refractive index capping layer 91 was the compound CPL-1.
[0222] Comparative Example 8
[0223] The difference from Example 87 is only that the material of the low-refractive index capping layer 91 was the compound CPL-3.
[0224] Device performance test
[0225] The refractive index of the cover layer at a wavelength of 460 nm was measured using an ellipsometry spectrum (J.A. Woollam Co. Inc M-2000). The brightness and color purity of the device were measured using a spectroradiometric luminance meter (CS1000, Konica Minolta) under the conditions of 10 mA / cm 2
[0226] Table 11 Luminescent efficiency and color purity results
[0227] In Table 11, n1 refers to the refractive index of the cover layer for light at a wavelength of 460 nm, and n2 refers to the refractive index of the high-refractive cover layer for light at a wavelength of 460 nm. According to the comparison results of Examples 87-114 and Comparative Examples 5, 7-8, it can be seen that the compounds 1-1-28-1 of the present application can effectively reduce the refractive index of the film layer.
[0228] Further, according to the results of Comparative Example 5 and Comparative Example 6, it can be seen that when the high-refractive cover layer is used alone or the low-refractive cover layer is used alone, the luminescent efficiency of the device is low, and the color purity is not high. Although Comparative Example 7 and Comparative Example 8 are provided with both a low-refractive cover layer and a high-refractive cover layer, the luminescent efficiency of the device is improved, but the color purity of the device is still not high. When the material of the high-refractive cover layer is kept unchanged, and the compound of the present application is used to replace the existing fluorine-containing material to form a low-refractive cover layer, the luminescent efficiency and color purity of the device can be improved, and the device has both high luminescent efficiency and high color purity.
[0229] Therefore, when the compound of the present application is used to prepare the cover layer of the organic light-emitting device, the peel adhesion between the cover layer and the cathode and the Tg of the cover layer can be improved while maintaining a low refractive index. Further, when the compound is used to prepare a low-refractive cover layer, and a high-refractive cover layer is provided on the low-refractive cover layer, the luminescent efficiency and color purity of the device can be simultaneously improved.
[0230] Example 115
[0231] Referring to FIG. 1, the method for preparing the organic light-emitting device of the present embodiment includes the following steps:
[0232] (1) The alkali-free glass 1 was ultrasonically washed in isopropyl alcohol for 15 minutes, then treated with ultraviolet ozone in the atmosphere for 30 minutes, and then a 100 nm silver (Ag) film and a 10 nm ITO film (not distinguished in the figure) were sequentially formed on the alkali-free glass 1 using a sputtering method, to form a reflective anode 2.
[0233] (2) The reflective anode 2 was subjected to ultraviolet ozone washing treatment for 10 minutes, and a hole injection layer 3 (NPD and F4-TCNQ at a weight ratio of 97:3, 50 nm), a hole transport layer 4 (NPD, 80 nm), a blue light emitting layer 5 (BH and BD at a weight ratio of 97:3, 20 nm), an electron transport layer 6 (Alq3, 35 nm), an electron injection layer 7 (LiF, 1 nm), and Mg and Ag (at a weight ratio of 10:1, 15 nm) as a semi-transparent cathode 8 were sequentially deposited on the reflective anode 2 by vacuum evaporation.
[0234] (3) On the semi-transparent cathode 8, a low-refractive index cover layer 91 was formed to a thickness of 10 nm by depositing the compound 1-2 prepared in Example 53, and a high-refractive index cover layer 92 was formed to a thickness of 50 nm by depositing the compound CPL-2 on the low-refractive index cover layer 91.
[0235] (4) The organic light emitting device was prepared by packaging the alkali-free glass sealing plate with an epoxy resin adhesive in a glove box under a dry nitrogen atmosphere.
[0236] Examples 116 to 124
[0237] The organic light emitting device was prepared by the same method as in Example 115, except that the compound 1-2 was replaced by the compounds 2-2 to 10-2 prepared in the foregoing examples, respectively, when forming the low-refractive index cover layer 91.
[0238] Comparative Example 9

[0246] Comparative Example 13
[0247] The difference from Example 115 is only that the material of the low-refractive index cover layer 91 was the compound CPL-1.
[0248] Device performance test
[0249] The refractive index of the cover layer at a wavelength of 460 nm was measured using an ellipsometry spectrum (J.A. Woollam Co. Inc M-2000). The luminance and color purity of the organic light-emitting device prepared above were measured using a spectroradiometric luminance meter (CS1000, Konica Minolta) under a load of 10 mA / cm 2
[0250] Table 12 Luminescent efficiency and color purity results
[0251] In Table 12, n1 is the refractive index of the low refractive index cover layer for light at a wavelength of 460 nm, and n2 is the refractive index of the high refractive index cover layer for light at a wavelength of 460 nm. The data show that the low refractive index cover layer of the examples of the present application has a lower refractive index compared to Comparative Examples 9, 11-13. Among them, the compound (CPL-4) of Comparative Example 11 and the compound (CPL-5) of Comparative Example 12 can significantly reduce the refractive index of the cover layer compared to the existing fluorine-containing compound (CPL-1) used in Comparative Example 13, and after replacing Ak1 and Ak2 in CPL-4 and CPL-5 with cycloalkyl and aryl, i.e., compounds 1-2, 2-2, 4-2, and 8-2-10-2 of the present application, the refractive index of the cover layer is further reduced.
[0252] According to the results of Comparative Example 9 and Comparative Example 10, when only the high refractive index cover layer or the low refractive index cover layer is used, the luminescent efficiency of the device is low, and the color purity is not high. Comparative Examples 11-13 have both high refractive index cover layer and low refractive index cover layer, which improves the luminescent efficiency and color purity of the device, and the improvement is more obvious in Comparative Examples 11-12. When the material of the high refractive index cover layer is kept unchanged, the lowest luminescent efficiency (compound 5-2) is also the same as that of Comparative Example 11 when the low refractive index cover layer is prepared using the compound of the present application, and the high color purity is also maintained.
[0253] Therefore, compared with the existing fluorine-containing materials, the compound of the present application can reduce the refractive index of the cover layer, while improving the peeling adhesion between the cover layer and the cathode, reducing the risk of interlayer peeling, and effectively avoiding the phenomenon of equipment blockage caused by the sublimation characteristics of the material during vacuum evaporation by enhancing the flexibility of the molecules, so that the material is in a stable molten state during evaporation to improve the film forming quality; the composite structure composed of the low refractive index cover layer and the high refractive index cover layer prepared by using the compound can synergistically improve the luminous efficiency and color purity of the organic light-emitting device. Therefore, the compound of the present application exhibits significant advantages in optical performance, interface stability and process adaptability, and is more suitable as an OLED cover layer material.
[0254] The above description of the embodiments is to facilitate the understanding and application of the present application by those of ordinary skill in the art.

Therefore, the present application is not limited to the embodiments herein, and any improvements and modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the disclosure of the present application without departing from the scope and spirit of the present application are within the scope of the present application.
