Description

Heterocyclic compounds, organic light-emitting diodes, and compositions for the organic layer of organic light-emitting diodes

[0001] This specification relates to heterocyclic compounds, organic light-emitting diodes, and compositions for organic layers of organic light-emitting diodes.

[0002] <Cross-reference of related applications>

[0003] This application claims the benefit of the filing date of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2024-0125364 filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on September 13, 2024, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein.

[0004] Light-emitting elements are a type of self-emissive display element that has the advantages of a wide viewing angle, excellent contrast, and fast response speed.

[0005] An organic light-emitting diode has a structure in which an organic thin film is placed between two electrodes. When voltage is applied to an organic light-emitting diode with such a structure, electrons and holes injected from the two electrodes combine in the organic thin film to form pairs and then annihilate, emitting light. The organic thin film can be composed of a single layer or multiple layers as needed.

[0006] The materials of organic thin films may possess luminescence capabilities as needed. For example, compounds capable of independently constituting an emissive layer may be used as organic thin film materials, or compounds capable of acting as a host or dopant in a host-dopant emissive layer may be used. Furthermore, compounds capable of performing functions such as hole injection, hole transport, electron blocking, electron transport, and electron injection may also be used as organic thin film materials.

[0007] To improve the performance, lifespan, or efficiency of organic light-emitting diodes, the development of organic thin film materials is continuously required.

[0066] The present specification will be described in more detail below.

[0067] <Definition>

[0068] In this specification, when a part is described as "comprising" a certain component, this means that, unless specifically stated otherwise, it does not exclude other components but may include additional components.

[0069] In this specification, any chemical formula or structural formula means the joint position.

[0070] The term "substitution" above means that a hydrogen atom bonded to a carbon atom of a compound is replaced by another substituent, and the substitution site is not limited to the site where the hydrogen atom is substituted, that is, any site where a substituent can be substituted, and in the case of two or more substitutions, the two or more substituents may be the same or different from each other.

[0071] In this specification, "substituted or unsubstituted" means being substituted or unsubstituted with one or more substituents selected from the group consisting of deuterium; halogen group; C1 to C60 straight-chain or branched-chain alkyl group; C2 to C60 straight-chain or branched-chain alkenyl group; C2 to C60 straight-chain or branched-chain alkynyl group; C3 to C60 monocyclic or polycyclic cycloalkyl group; C2 to C60 monocyclic or polycyclic heterocycloalkyl group; C6 to C60 monocyclic or polycyclic aryl group; C2 to C60 monocyclic or polycyclic heteroaryl group; silyl group; phosphine oxide group; and amine group, or being substituted or unsubstituted with a substituent formed by connecting two or more substituents selected from the exemplified substituents.

[0072] In this specification, "where no substituent is indicated in the chemical formula or compound structure" means that a hydrogen atom is bonded to a carbon atom. However, deuterium ( 2 Since H (Deuterium) or tritium corresponds to isotopes of hydrogen, it can be interpreted as a concept included in hydrogen unless explicitly excluded.

[0073] That is, in this application, deuterium is defined as having an equivalent effect or an improved effect in some evaluation criteria compared to hydrogen in terms of driving voltage, luminous efficiency, and lifespan, in accordance with Chem. Commun., 2014, 50, 14870. Since it falls within a range where a person skilled in the art can predict that it has an equivalent effect even without specific experiments, deuterium, which is an isotope of hydrogen, is interpreted as being included in hydrogen unless explicitly excluded.

[0077] According to one embodiment of the present specification, an isotope, which means an atom having the same atomic number (Z) but different mass numbers (A), can also be interpreted as an element having the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.

[0078] According to one embodiment of the present specification, the meaning of the content T% of a specific substituent can be defined as T2 / T1 × 100 = T% when the total number of substituents that a basic compound may have is defined as T1 and the number of specific substituents among them is defined as T2.

[0079] in other words, Taking the phenyl group represented by as an example, the deuterium content of 20% here can be expressed as 20% when the total number of substituents the phenyl group can have is 5 (T1 in the formula) and the number of deuteriums among them is 1 (T2 in the formula). That is, a deuterium content of 20% in the phenyl group can be represented by the following structural formula.

[0115] In one embodiment of the present specification, a group not represented as a substituent; or a group represented as hydrogen, may all mean that they are substitutable for deuterium. That is, hydrogen (H); or deuterium (D) may indicate that they are mutually substitutable.

[0116] In general, compounds bonded with hydrogen and compounds substituted with deuterium show differences in thermodynamic behavior. This is because the mass of a deuterium atom is twice that of hydrogen, and due to this difference in atomic mass, deuterium has the characteristic of having lower vibrational energy.

[0117] Furthermore, the single bond dissociation energy between carbon and deuterium is higher than that between carbon and hydrogen.

[0374] <실험예 1> 유기 발광 소자의 제작

[0375] 1) 유기 발광 소자의 제조

[0376] A glass substrate coated with a thin film of indium tin oxide (ITO) to a thickness of 1,500 Å was cleaned with distilled water ultrasonics. After cleaning with distilled water, the substrate was ultrasonically cleaned with solvents such as acetone, methanol, and isopropyl alcohol, dried, and then treated with UVO (Ultraviolet Ozone) using UV light for 5 minutes in an Ultraviolet (UV) cleaner. Subsequently, the substrate was transferred to a plasma cleaner (PT), subjected to plasma treatment under vacuum to remove the ITO work function and residual film, and then transferred to a thermal evaporation equipment for organic deposition.

[0377] A common layer, a hole injection layer 2-TNATA (4,4',4"-Tris[2-naphthyl(phenyl)amino] triphenylamine) and a hole transport layer NPB (N,N'-Di(1-naphthyl)-N,N'-biphenyl)-4,4'-diamine) were formed on the above ITO transparent electrode (anode).

[0378] A light-emitting layer was deposited on top of it as follows. Specifically, compounds described in Examples 1 to 36 of Table 7 below were used as the red host for the light-emitting layer, and a light-emitting layer with a thickness of 500 Å was deposited by doping the red host with 3 wt% of the red phosphorescent dopant (piq)2(Ir)(acac). Subsequently, 60 Å of Bathocuproine (hereinafter BCP) was deposited as a hole-blocking layer, and 200 Å of Alq3 was deposited as an electron-transporting layer on top of it.

[0379] Finally, an organic light-emitting diode was fabricated by forming an electron injection layer by depositing lithium fluoride (LiF) to a thickness of 10 Å on the electron transport layer, and then forming a cathode by depositing an aluminum (Al) cathode to a thickness of 1,200 Å on the electron injection layer.

[0380] Meanwhile, all organic compounds required for OLED device fabrication are 10 each for each material -8 ~10 -6It was purified by vacuum sublimation under torr and used for OLED fabrication.

[0381] 2) Driving voltage and luminous efficiency of organic light-emitting diodes

[0385] Comparative compounds A to P used in Table 7 above were as follows.

[0386]

[0387] As can be seen from the results in Table 7 above, when the organic layer of an organic light-emitting device is deposited with a heterocyclic compound of Formula 1 selected from heterocyclic compounds A1 to A332 according to the present application, it was confirmed that the organic light-emitting device can appropriately control the threshold voltage and driving voltage, and that efficiency or lifespan effects are improved.

[0388] On the other hand, comparative compounds A and M have a structure in which a cyano group is substituted at one end of a five-membered ring, comparative compound B has a structure in which one of the heteroatoms of a five-membered ring contains sulfur, comparative compounds C and D have a structure in which an azine-based substituent represented by the chemical formula N is missing, comparative compounds E and P have a structure different from the fused structure of the chemical formula 1, comparative compounds F and G have a structure in which an aryl group or a group represented by the chemical formula K is missing, comparative compounds H, I, J and K have a 1-substituted structure, comparative compound L has a structure outside the definition of Ar1 and Ar2, and comparative compounds N and O have a structure in which a benzene moiety is additionally fused in the middle of the core, so all of the comparative compounds A to P correspond to structures outside the definition of the chemical formula 1 of the present invention.

[0389] Compared to the example data using a compound conforming to Formula 1 of the present invention, the comparative example using a comparative compound showed an increase in threshold voltage of about 20%, an increase in driving voltage of about 7%, a decrease in efficiency of about 50%, and a decrease in lifespan of about 60%.

[0390] In summary, the heterocyclic compounds A1 to A332 according to the present application correspond to the heterocyclic compound structure represented by Chemical Formula 1 above and are characterized by a low threshold voltage, driving voltage, high efficiency, and / or long lifespan. It is determined that the compounds according to the present application have an expanded conjugation form due to the characteristic of being 2-substituted with specific substituents (Ar1 and Ar2) compared to comparative compounds A, F, G, H, I, J, K, and M, which results in a relatively low T1 level and smooth energy transfer to the dopant, thereby improving device performance. Furthermore, compared to unipolar p-Hosts such as comparative compounds B, D, and L, the electron flow is smooth, which is particularly advantageous for improving the driving voltage and for exciton emission.

[0391] In addition, when compared to comparative compounds C, E, K, N, and P, the steric hindrance of the comparative example is structurally very large or the molecular weight is very large, so the thermal stability is significantly reduced compared to the compound of the present application, and it can be determined that the degradation is increased and the device lifespan is reduced.

[0392] And in the case of comparative compound O, since the molecular planarity increases compared to the skeleton of the compound in this example and the rotation energy is low, T g It may be determined that the low value caused a degradation in device performance during device deposition.

[0393] <Experimental Example 2> Fabrication of an Organic Light-Emitting Device

[0394] 1) Fabrication of organic light-emitting diodes

[0395] A glass substrate coated with a thin film of indium tin oxide (ITO) to a thickness of 1,500 Å was cleaned with distilled water ultrasonics. After cleaning with distilled water, the substrate was ultrasonically cleaned with solvents such as acetone, methanol, and isopropyl alcohol, dried, and then treated with UVO (Ultraviolet Ozone) using UV light for 5 minutes in an Ultraviolet (UV) cleaner. Subsequently, the substrate was transferred to a plasma cleaner (PT), subjected to plasma treatment under vacuum to remove the ITO work function and residual film, and then transferred to a thermal evaporation equipment for organic deposition.

[0396] A common layer, a hole injection layer 2-TNATA (4,4',4"-Tris[2-naphthyl(phenyl)amino] triphenylamine) and a hole transport layer NPB (N,N'-Di(1-naphthyl)-N,N'-biphenyl)-4,4'-diamine) were formed on the above ITO transparent electrode (anode).

[0397] A light-emitting layer was deposited on top of it using thermal vacuum deposition as follows. Specifically, as the red host of the light-emitting layer, a mixture of any one of A1 to A332 and any one of B3 to B308 from Examples 37 to 78 of Table 8 was used, and a light-emitting layer with a thickness of 500 Å was deposited by doping the red host with 3 wt% of the red phosphorescent dopant (piq)2(Ir)(acac). Subsequently, 60 Å of Bathocuproine (hereinafter BCP) was deposited as a hole-blocking layer, and 200 Å of Alq3 was deposited as an electron-transporting layer on top of it.

[0398] Finally, an organic light-emitting diode was fabricated by forming an electron injection layer by depositing lithium fluoride (LiF) to a thickness of 10 Å on the electron transport layer, and then forming a cathode by depositing an aluminum (Al) cathode to a thickness of 1,200 Å on the electron injection layer.

[0399] Meanwhile, all organic compounds required for OLED device fabrication are 10 each for each material -8 ~10 -6 It was purified by vacuum sublimation under torr and used for OLED fabrication.

[0400] 2) Driving voltage and luminous efficiency of organic light-emitting diodes

[0401] The electroluminescence (EL) characteristics of the organic light-emitting diodes of Examples 37 to 78 in Table 8, manufactured as described above, were measured using MaxScience’s M7000, and based on the measurement results, the reference brightness was 6,000 cd / m² using a lifetime measurement device (M6000) manufactured by MaxScience. 2 When, T 90 The above T was measured. 90 represents the lifetime (unit: h, hours) of the time it takes to reach 90% of the initial brightness.

[0402] The measured characteristics of the organic light-emitting diodes were as shown in Table 8 below.

[0404] The compounds A to P used in the above Table 8 were as follows.

[0405]

[0406] As can be seen from the results in Table 8 above, compared to the results in Table 7 (using only the heterocyclic compound according to the present application), when the organic layer of the organic light-emitting device is deposited by appropriately mixing the heterocyclic compounds according to the present application, it was confirmed that the organic light-emitting device can appropriately control the threshold voltage and driving voltage, and further improve efficiency or lifespan effects.

[0407] Comparative compounds A to P in Table 8 above all correspond to structures that deviate from the definition of Formula 1 of the present invention, as previously explained. When these are compared with example data using compounds conforming to Formula 1 of the present invention, the comparative examples using the comparative compounds showed an increase in threshold voltage of about 17%, an increase in driving voltage of about 8%, a decrease in efficiency of about 42%, and a decrease in lifespan of about 50%.

[0408] Accordingly, it was confirmed that the results of Examples 37 to 78 correspond to the case where an n-type host compound having strong electron transport characteristics is combined with a p-type host compound having strong hole transport characteristics, compared to Comparative Examples 17 to 32, which do not include a heterocyclic compound according to the present application in the organic layer of an organic light-emitting device, and thus the driving voltage, efficiency, and lifespan are significantly improved by playing a role in balancing the charge within the device.
