Abstract
Description
Compounds and organic light-emitting devices containing the same
[0001] The present application claims the benefit of the filing date of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2024-0181438 filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on December 9, 2024, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein.
[0002] This specification relates to a compound and an organic light-emitting device containing the same.
[0003] Generally, organic light emission refers to the phenomenon of converting electrical energy into light energy using organic materials. Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) that utilize this phenomenon typically have a structure comprising an anode, a cathode, and an organic layer between them. Here, the organic layer is often composed of a multilayer structure made of different materials to enhance the efficiency and stability of the OLED; for example, it may consist of a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an emissive layer, an electron transport layer, and an electron injection layer. In the structure of such an OLED, when a voltage is applied between the two electrodes, holes are injected from the anode and electrons from the cathode into the organic layer. When the injected holes and electrons meet, an exciton is formed, and light is emitted when this exciton returns to the ground state.

[0153] In one embodiment of the present specification, the 'electron transport layer / electron injection layer' may be replaced with an 'electron injection and transport layer' or a 'layer that performs electron injection and transport simultaneously'.

[0155] The above anode is an electrode that injects holes, and as the anode material, it is generally preferable to use an organic layer with a high work function to facilitate hole injection. Specific examples of anode materials that can be used in the present invention include metals such as vanadium, chromium, copper, zinc, and gold, or alloys thereof; metal oxides such as zinc oxide, indium oxide, indium tin oxide (ITO), and indium zinc oxide (IZO); combinations of metals and oxides such as ZnO:Al or SnO2:Sb; and conductive polymers such as poly(3-methylthiophene), poly[3,4-(ethylene-1,2-dioxy)thiophene] (PEDOT), polypyrrole, and polyaniline, but are not limited to these.

[0357] Example 1.
[0358] A glass substrate coated with an indium tin oxide (ITO) thin film to a thickness of 1,000 Å was placed in distilled water containing dissolved detergent and cleaned using ultrasound. Fischer Co. products were used as the detergent, and distilled water that had been filtered twice using a Millerpore Co. filter was used. After cleaning the ITO for 30 minutes, ultrasonic cleaning was performed for 10 minutes, repeating the process twice with distilled water. After the distilled water cleaning was completed, the substrate was ultrasonically cleaned with solvents of isopropyl alcohol, acetone, and methanol, dried, and then transported to a plasma cleaner. Additionally, the substrate was cleaned using oxygen plasma for 5 minutes and then transported to a vacuum deposition machine. A hole injection layer was formed on the prepared ITO transparent electrode by thermal vacuum deposition of the following compound, HI-A, to a thickness of 600 Å. A hole transport layer was formed by sequentially vacuum depositing hexaazatriphenylene (HAT, 50 Å) of the following chemical formula and the following compound HT-A (600 Å) on the hole injection layer. Subsequently, a light-emitting layer was formed by vacuum depositing the following compounds BH and BD in a weight ratio of 25:1 on the hole transport layer to a film thickness of 200 Å. On the light-emitting layer, an electron injection and transport layer was formed to a thickness of 360 Å by vacuum depositing the compound E1 prepared in Example 1 and the following compound LiQ (Lithium quinolate) in a weight ratio of 1:1. A cathode was formed by sequentially depositing lithium fluoride (LiF) to a thickness of 10 Å and aluminum to a thickness of 1,000 Å on the electron injection and transport layer.
[0359]
[0360] In the above process, the deposition rate of the organic material was maintained at 0.4 Å / sec to 0.9 Å / sec, while the deposition rates of lithium fluoride and aluminum for the cathode were maintained at 0.3 Å / sec and 2 Å / sec, respectively, and the vacuum level during deposition was 5x10-8 torr to 1x10 -7 An organic light-emitting diode was fabricated by maintaining torr.
