Abstract
Description
organic light-emitting diode
[0001] The present invention relates to a tandem type organic light emitting device including a plurality of light emitting layers.
[0002] The technology of organic light emitting devices (OLEDs), one of the currently widely used flat panel display devices, is developing rapidly.
[0003] In general, an organic light-emitting device has an organic thin film layer including a light-emitting layer formed between an anode (hole injection electrode) and a cathode (electron injection electrode), and has a principle of emitting light when holes injected from the anode and electrons injected from the cathode pair up in the light-emitting layer and then disappear.
[0004] More specifically, the organic light-emitting device is configured to include an organic thin film layer formed between an anode and a cathode, and the organic thin film layer may be configured to include a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light-emitting layer, an electron transport layer, and an electron injection layer sequentially laminated on the anode, and holes injected from the anode and electrons injected from the cathode combine in the light-emitting layer to form excitons, which enter an unstable energy state (excited state) and then return to a stable ground state to emit light.
[0005] In the development of organic light-emitting devices, high efficiency, long lifespan, color purity, color stability according to changes in current and voltage, and ease of device manufacturing are important, so research and development are in progress according to each method. The structure of organic light-emitting devices can be broadly divided into a single-layer light-emitting structure with one light-emitting layer and a multilayer light-emitting structure with two or more light-emitting layers. Among these, a tandem structure of a multilayer light-emitting structure that stacks two or more light-emitting layers is mainly adopted for organic light-emitting devices with long lifespan.
[0006] Meanwhile, an organic light-emitting device with a tandem structure such as this is provided with a charge generation layer (CGL) between the light-emitting layers to double the current efficiency generated in the light-emitting layer and to facilitate charge distribution. This charge generation layer is a layer that generates charges, that is, electrons and holes, and performs the role of preventing an increase in the driving voltage by doubling the current efficiency generated in the light-emitting layer and facilitating charge distribution. This charge generation layer is generally composed of a P-type charge generation layer and an N-type charge generation layer.
[0007] In such a charge generation layer, if the charge transport does not occur smoothly due to the difference in energy level or current leakage occurs, the amount of electrons transported to the other light-emitting layer decreases, which not only causes the driving voltage to gradually increase but also has a negative impact on the lifespan, etc. Therefore, as the development of tandem devices with high performance such as low voltage, high efficiency, and long lifespan is increasingly demanded, the development of charge generation layers to match this is also necessary. Furthermore, since the combination of the charge generation layer and its adjacent layers has a significant effect on the device performance, finding the optimal combination is also important.
[0008] The purpose of the present invention is to reduce the driving voltage and improve the efficiency and lifespan of a tandem organic light-emitting device comprising a plurality of light-emitting layers by optimizing the combination of compounds included in adjacent layers. The above and additional tasks are described in detail below.

[0014] At least one of the above N-type charge generation layers comprises a first compound represented by the following chemical formula 1,
[0015] At least one of the organic layers of the electron transport region adjacent to the N-type charge generation layer includes a second compound represented by the following chemical formula 2:

[0020] However, either one of the above R1 and either one of the R2 is a bonding position that is connected to each other by a single bond,
[0021] <Chemical Formula 2>
[0022]
[0023] In the above chemical formula 2,

[0025] R10 is each independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, deuterium, a halogen group, a cyano group, a nitro group, a nitrile group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkynyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted heterocycloalkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkoxy group, a substituted or unsubstituted sulfide group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryloxy group, a substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryloxy group, a substituted or unsubstituted thio group, a substituted or unsubstituted amine group, a substituted or unsubstituted silyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted phosphine oxide group, and a substituted or unsubstituted fused ring group, or adjacent ones may or may not combine with each other to form a substituted or unsubstituted ring,
[0026] However, the above chemical formula 2 includes a substituted or unsubstituted triazine group.
[0027] The present invention relates to a tandem organic light-emitting device comprising a plurality of light-emitting layers, wherein the performance of the organic light-emitting device, such as low voltage, high efficiency, and long life, can be improved through optimization of the combination of compounds included in the organic layer of the N-type charge-generation layer and the adjacent electron-transport region. Furthermore, further improved performance can be realized through additional combination with the P-type charge-generation layer. The above effects and additional effects are described in detail below.

[0078] FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a tandem organic light-emitting device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and illustrates a 2-stack tandem organic light-emitting device having two light-emitting layers. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and may be a tandem organic light-emitting device having a 3-stack structure having three light-emitting layers, a 4-stack structure having four light-emitting layers, or n or more light-emitting layers. In the case of a 2-stack structure having two light-emitting layers, there may be one charge generation layer, in the case of a 3-stack structure having three light-emitting layers, there may be two charge generation layers, and in the case of an n-stack structure having n light-emitting layers, there may be n-1 charge generation layers. In addition, when each of the n-1 charge generation layers includes an N-type charge generation layer, any one layer of the n-1 N-type charge generation layers may include the first compound, any two layers may include the first compound, and all of the n-1 layers may include the first compound.
[0079] As illustrated in FIG. 1, a tandem organic light-emitting device (1000) according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first electrode (100), a second electrode (200), a plurality of light-emitting layers (300) positioned between the first electrode (100) and the second electrode (200), and a charge generation layer (400) positioned at at least one location between two adjacent light-emitting layers (310, 320), and at least one of the charge generation layers (400) may include an N-type charge generation layer (410) and a P-type charge generation layer (420). At this time, as illustrated in FIG. 1, the N-type charge generation layer (410) may be positioned closer to the first electrode (100), and the P-type charge generation layer (420) may be positioned closer to the second electrode (200).
[0080] The above first electrode (100) may be an anode that supplies holes, may be made of a material having a relatively large work function value, and may be made of a TCO such as ITO, IZO, ITZO, SnO, ZnO, ICO, and AZO according to one embodiment, but is not limited thereto and known materials may be applied.
[0081] The second electrode (200) may be a cathode that supplies electrons and is located on the front side of the display area, and may be made of a conductive material having a relatively small work function value. In one embodiment, the second electrode may be made of a material having good reflective properties, such as aluminum (Al), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), silver (Ag), or an alloy or combination thereof, but is not limited thereto and known materials may be applied.
[0082] The above-described light-emitting layer (300) is a layer (EML) that emits light by the recombination of transferred electrons and holes, and may be formed of a material that can emit light in the visible light range by transporting and combining electrons and holes, respectively. A material with good quantum efficiency for fluorescence or phosphorescence may be preferred. Specifically, the light-emitting layer may include a host and a dopant, and may have a form in which the dopant is doped into the host. Known materials may be applied to the host and the dopant, respectively.
[0083] The above charge generation layer (400) is a layer (charge generation layer, CGL) located between each light-emitting layer in order to supply positive and negative charges to each light-emitting layer in a tandem structure, and may be configured to include an N-type charge generation layer (410, N-CGL) and a P-type charge generation layer (420, P-CGL), and may further include additional layers as needed. The N-type charge generation layer (410) serves to supply electrons to the light-emitting layer, and the P-type charge generation layer serves to supply holes to the light-emitting layer.
[0084] Meanwhile, a hole transport region that transports holes may exist in each of the plurality of light-emitting layers, and this hole transport region may be configured to include one or more organic layers. According to one embodiment, the hole transport region may be configured to include one or more of a hole injection layer (HIL) that injects holes, a hole transport layer (HTL) that transports holes, a layer that simultaneously injects and transports holes, and an electron blocking layer (EBL) that blocks electron transport, and may further include additional layers as needed.
[0085] Additionally, an electron transport region that transports electrons to each of the plurality of light-emitting layers may also exist, and this electron transport region may also be configured to include one or more organic layers. According to one embodiment, the electron transport region may be configured to include one or more of an electron injection layer (EIL) that injects electrons, an electron transport layer (ETL) that transports electrons, a layer that simultaneously injects and transports electrons, and a hole blocking layer (HBL, hole blocking layer or hole blocking layer) that blocks hole transport, and may further include additional layers as needed.

[0087] The above first hole transport region is located between the first electrode (100) and the first light-emitting layer (310) and may include a hole injection layer (510) that injects holes and a hole transport layer (520) that transports the injected holes, but is not necessarily limited thereto.
[0088] The above first electron transport region is located between the N-type charge generation layer (410) and the first light-emitting layer (310) and may be configured to include a hole-blocking layer (610) that transports electrons and blocks the movement of holes, but is not necessarily limited thereto. The hole-blocking layer (610) may also be an electron transport layer that transports electrons.

[0228] The first compound described so far is a compound with pyridine-quinoline as its main core, and when applied to an N-type charge-generation layer, it effectively improves the performance of the organic light-emitting device, such as the driving voltage, efficiency, and lifespan. Specifically, the unshared electron pairs of nitrogens (N) included in the first compound smoothly interact with dopants such as Li and Yb, thereby preventing the problem of the dopants from moving to the adjacent P-type charge-generation layer, thereby preventing a decrease in the efficiency and lifespan of the organic light-emitting device. In particular, the pyridine group is a strong electron-withdrawing group, and due to the strong electron-withdrawing effect, electron movement is increased, thereby further increasing the efficiency of the device. In addition, it is possible to improve the electron injection and transfer characteristics into the layer of the adjacent electron transport region, thereby reducing the driving voltage. Therefore, the tandem organic light-emitting device of the present invention, which includes the first compound as a host material of the N-type charge-generation layer, can realize low voltage, high efficiency, and long lifespan.

According to one embodiment, the metal element may be an alkali metal such as lithium, an alkaline earth metal such as calcium, strontium, or a lanthanide metal such as ytterbium. Such an N-type dopant may be included in the form of being doped into the first compound, and at this time, the doping amount may be 0.1 to 20 wt% based on the weight of the first compound, and specifically, may be 0.5 to 15 wt%, but is not limited thereto and may vary depending on the type of the metal element.

[0519] Fabrication of tandem organic light-emitting devices
[0520] Comparative Example 1
[0521] After patterning the ITO substrate to have a light-emitting area of 2 mm × 2 mm, it was cleaned with isopropyl alcohol and UV ozone, respectively. This ITO substrate became the first electrode (anode). Thereafter, the cleaned ITO substrate was mounted on the substrate holder of a vacuum deposition device, and the pressure was adjusted to a vacuum of 1×10-7 torr. Afterwards, plasma treatment was performed for 3 minutes under a N2 atmosphere. First, the compound 3-26 was used as a host, and the NDP-9 material was used as a dopant, and the deposition was performed at a mass ratio of approximately 3% to form a first hole injection layer (first HIL) with a thickness of 5 nm. Then, the NPB material was vacuum-deposited to form a first hole transport layer (first HTL) with a thickness of 20 nm. Thereafter, the GH-1 material was used as a host, and the GD-1 material was used as a dopant, and the deposition was performed at a mass ratio of approximately 10% to form a green first light-emitting layer (first EML) with a thickness of 20 nm. And on this first light-emitting layer, compound 2-284 was vacuum-deposited to form a first hole-blocking layer (first HBL) with a thickness of 10 nm. Thereafter, comparative compound 2-1 was vacuum-deposited to form a first electron transport layer (first ETL) with a thickness of 10 nm. Next, compound 1-3 was co-deposited using a host and Yb as a dopant at a mass ratio of 1% to form a 10 nm thick N-type charge generation layer (N-CGL). Thereafter, compound 3-26 was co-deposited using a host and an NDP-9 material as a dopant at a mass ratio of approximately 5% to form a P-type charge generation layer (P-CGL). This P-type charge generation layer also functions as a second hole injection layer. Next, an NPB material was vacuum-deposited on the P-type charge generation layer to form a second hole transport layer (second HTL) with a thickness of 50 nm. Afterwards, the GH-1 material was used as a host and the GD-1 material was used as a dopant, and co-deposited at a mass ratio of approximately 10% to form a green second light-emitting layer (second EML) with a thickness of 20 nm.And on this second light-emitting layer, compound 2-284 was vacuum-deposited to form a second hole-blocking layer (second HBL) with a thickness of 5 nm. Then, a TmPyPb material was used as a host, and Liq was used as a dopant, and co-deposited to have a mass ratio of approximately 33% to form a second electron transport layer (second ETL) with a thickness of 20 nm. After that, a LiF material was vacuum-deposited to form an electron injection layer (EIL) with a thickness of 1 nm. And finally, Al was vacuum-deposited to a thickness of 100 nm to form a second electrode (cathode), thereby completing the fabrication of a tandem organic light-emitting device. Compounds 3-26, 2-284 and 1-3 used here are compounds synthesized in the previous synthesis example, and the structures of NDP-9, NPB, GH-1, GD-1, TmPyPb and Liq are shown in Table 1 below, respectively, and the structure of comparative compound 2-1 is shown in Table 2 below.

[0532] As shown in the results of Table 3 above, compared to Comparative Examples 1 to 9 in which the first compound was used as the N-type charge generation layer host material but the second compound was not used as the first ETL material and Comparative Examples 10 to 18 in which the second compound was used as the first ETL material but the first compound was not used as the N-type charge generation layer host material, it can be confirmed that the driving voltage of the tandem organic light-emitting devices of Examples 1 to 70 according to the present invention is lower and the current efficiency and lifespan are improved. In this way, when the first pyridine-quinoline-based compound is used as the N-type charge generation layer host material and the second spirofluorene xanthene-triazine-based compound is used as the electron transport layer material adjacent to the N-type charge generation layer, the driving voltage is reduced and the efficiency and lifespan are effectively improved.
[0533]
[0534] Examples 71 to 78
[0535] A tandem organic light-emitting device was manufactured in the same manner as in Comparative Example 1, except that the first electron transport layer material, the N-type charge generation layer host material, and the P-type charge generation layer host material were used as shown in Table 4 below.
[0536]
[0537] The driving voltage, current efficiency, and lifetime of the previously fabricated tandem organic light-emitting devices were measured at a driving current density of 10 mA / cm2. The results are shown in Table 4 below.

[0539] Table 4 above shows the preliminary results of changing the third compound, which is the P-type charge generation layer host material, to compounds containing two or three or more fluorene groups, and it can be confirmed that the driving voltage, efficiency, and lifespan are further improved compared to the results of Examples 1 to 70. In this way, in tandem organic light-emitting devices, optimizing the combination of the N-type charge generation layer and the electron transport region layer, and further the combination with the P-type charge generation layer, is very important for improving the performance of the device.
