[0003] Materials for organic light emitting devices
[0004] The present application relates to an electronic device comprising a first electrode, a second electrode facing the first electrode, an interlayer between the first electrode and 5 the second electrode comprising a hole transport region comprising at least two holetransporting layers and an emitting layer.
[0005] Electronic devices in the context of this application are understood to mean what are called organic electronic devices, which comprise organic semiconductor materials as functional materials. More particularly, these are understood to mean OLEDs (organic light-emitting diodes, organic electroluminescent devices). These are electronic devices which have one or more layers comprising organic compounds and emit light on application of electrical voltage. The construction and general principle of function of OLEDs are known to those skilled in the art.
[0006] 15
[0007] In electronic devices, especially OLEDs, there is great interest in an improvement in the performance data, especially lifetime, efficiency, operating voltage and colour purity. In these aspects, it has not yet been possible to find any entirely satisfactory solution.
[0008] 20 Hole-transporting layers in electronic devices, especially OLEDs, have a great influence on the abovementioned performance data of electronic devices. The hole-transporting layers may, as well as their hole-transporting function, also have an electron-blocking function, meaning that they block the passage of electrons from the emitting layer to the anode. In addition, the hole-transporting layers of the OLED preferably have suitable HOMO levels to 25 efficiently enable the transport of the holes from the anode to the emitting layer.
[0009] Materials for hole-transporting layers that are known in the prior art are primarily amine compounds, especially triarylamine compounds. Examples of such triarylamine compounds are spirobifluoreneamines, fluoreneamines, indenofluoreneamines, phenanthreneamines, carbazoleamines, xantheneamines, spirodihydroacridineamines, biphenylamines and combinations of these structural elements having one or more amino groups, and the person skilled in the art is aware of further structure classes.

[0012] The present invention thus aims at providing electronic devices, more particularly Organic Light Emitting Devices (OLEDs) comprising at least two hole-transporting layers as defined below and a light emitting layer. The present invention also aims at providing suitable holetransport materials for the hole-transport layers of an electronic device.
[0013] 5
[0014] It has now been found that, surprisingly, the devices and compounds described below are particularly suitable in the technical field of OLEDs. The devices and compounds described below lead to OLEDs having very good properties. The compounds lead to high lifetime, high efficiency and low operating voltage of the devices, while having improved capacitance and charging behaviour. Further preferably, the compounds found have a high glass transition temperature, high stability, stable lifetime properties at high temperatures, low sublimation temperature, good solubility, good synthetic accessibility and high conductivity for holes.
[0015] 15 Further, OLEDs comprising the compounds show only a small voltage increase over their lifetime, particularly when the compounds are used in an electron blocking layer, more particularly when used in an OLED stack which has two electron blocking layers which are adjacent to each other, where one of the two electron blocking layers, preferably the one which is not in contact with the emitting layer, comprises a compound according to the 20 invention, and the other comprises a compound with a chemical structure which is not according to the invention. Further, OLEDs comprising the compounds show only a small leakage current, particularly when the compounds are used in an electron blocking layer, more particularly when used in an OLED stack which has two electron blocking layers which are adjacent to each other, where one of the two electron blocking layers, preferably 25 the one which is not in contact with the emitting layer, comprises a compound according to the invention, and the other comprises a compound with a chemical structure which is not according to the invention.

[0017] a first electrode;
[0018] a second electrode facing the first electrode;

[0049] The definitions which follow are applicable to the chemical groups that are used in the present application. They are applicable unless any more specific definitions are given.
[0050] 5 An aryl group in the context of this invention is understood to mean either a single aromatic cycle, i.e. benzene, or a fused aromatic polycycle, for example naphthalene, phenanthrene or anthracene. A fused aromatic polycycle in the context of the present application consists of two or more single aromatic cycles fused to one another. Fusion between cycles is understood here to mean that the cycles share at least one edge with one another. An aryl group in the context of this invention contains 6 to 40 aromatic ring atoms. In addition, an aryl group does not contain any heteroatom as aromatic ring atom, but only carbon atoms.
[0051] A heteroaryl group in the context of this invention is understood to mean either a single heteroaromatic cycle, for example pyridine, pyrimidine or thiophene, or a fused
[0052] 15 heteroaromatic polycycle, for example quinoline or carbazole. A fused heteroaromatic polycycle in the context of the present application consists of two or more single aromatic or heteroaromatic cycles that are fused to one another, where at least one of the aromatic and heteroaromatic cycles is a heteroaromatic cycle. Fusion between cycles is understood here to mean that the cycles share at least one edge with one another. A heteroaryl group in the 20 context of this invention contains 5 to 40 aromatic ring atoms of which at least one is a heteroatom. The heteroatoms of the heteroaryl group are preferably selected from N, O and S.
[0053] An aryl or heteroaryl group, each of which may be substituted by the abovementioned 25 radicals, is especially understood to mean groups derived from benzene, naphthalene, anthracene, phenanthrene, pyrene, dihydropyrene, chrysene, perylene, triphenylene, fluoranthene, benzanthracene, benzophenanthrene, tetracene, pentacene, benzopyrene, furan, benzofuran, isobenzofuran, dibenzofuran, thiophene, benzothiophene, isobenzothiophene, dibenzothiophene, pyrrole, indole, isoindole, carbazole, pyridine, quinoline, isoquinoline, acridine, phenanthridine, benzo-5,6-quinoline, benzo-6,7-quinoline, benzo-7,8-quinoline, phenothiazine, phenoxazine, pyrazole, indazole, imidazole, benzimidazole, benzimidazolo[1,2-a]benzimidazole, naphthimidazole, phenanthrimidazole, pyridimidazole, pyrazinimidazole, quinoxalinimidazole, oxazole, benzoxazole, naphthoxazole, anthroxazole, phenanthroxazole, isoxazole, 1,2-thiazole, 1,3-thiazole, Foreignfiling_text P24-239-SEC-WO01 20250919
[0054] 7
[0055] benzothiazole, pyridazine, benzopyridazine, pyrimidine, benzopyrimidine, quinoxaline, pyrazine, phenazine, naphthyridine, azacarbazole, benzocarboline, phenanthroline, 1,2,3- triazole, 1,2,4-triazole, benzotriazole, 1,2,3-oxadiazole, 1,2,4-oxadiazole, 1,2,5-oxadiazole, 1.3.4-oxadiazole, 1,2,3-thiadiazole, 1,2,4-thiadiazole, 1,2,5-thiadiazole, 1,3,4-thiadiazole, 5 1.3.5-triazine, 1,2,4-triazine, 1,2,3-triazine, tetrazole, 1,2, 4, 5- tetrazine, 1,2,3,4-tetrazine, 1.2.3.5-tetrazine, purine, pteridine, indolizine and benzothiadiazole.
[0056] An aromatic ring system in the context of this invention is a system which does not necessarily contain solely aryl groups, but which may additionally contain one or more nonaromatic rings fused to at least one aryl group. These nonaromatic rings contain exclusively carbon atoms as ring atoms. Examples of groups covered by this definition are tetrahydronaphthalene, fluorene and spirobifluorene. In addition, the term "aromatic ring system" includes systems that consist of two or more aromatic ring systems joined to one another via single bonds, for example biphenyl, terphenyl, 7-phenyl-2-fluorenyl,
[0057] 15 quaterphenyl and 3,5-diphenyl-1-phenyl. An aromatic ring system in the context of this invention contains 6 to 40 carbon atoms and no heteroatoms in the ring system. The definition of "aromatic ring system" does not include heteroaryl groups.
[0058] A heteroaromatic ring system conforms to the abovementioned definition of an aromatic 20 ring system, except that it must contain at least one heteroatom as ring atom. As is the case for the aromatic ring system, the heteroaromatic ring system need not contain exclusively aryl groups and heteroaryl groups, but may additionally contain one or more nonaromatic rings fused to at least one aryl or heteroaryl group. The nonaromatic rings may contain exclusively carbon atoms as ring atoms, or they may additionally contain one or 25 more heteroatoms, where the heteroatoms are preferably selected from N, O and S. One example of such a heteroaromatic ring system is benzopyranyl. In addition, the term "heteroaromatic ring system" is understood to mean systems that consist of two or more aromatic or heteroaromatic ring systems that are bonded to one another via single bonds, for example 4,6-diphenyl-2-triazinyl. A heteroaromatic ring system in the context of this invention contains 5 to 40 ring atoms selected from carbon and heteroatoms, where at least one of the ring atoms is a heteroatom. The heteroatoms of the heteroaromatic ring system are preferably selected from N, O and S. Foreignfiling_text P24-239-SEC-WO01 20250919
[0059] 8
[0060] The terms "heteroaromatic ring system" and "aromatic ring system" as defined in the present application thus differ from one another in that an aromatic ring system cannot have a heteroatom as ring atom, whereas a heteroaromatic ring system must have at least one heteroatom as ring atom. This heteroatom may be present as a ring atom of a nonaromatic 5 heterocyclic ring or as a ring atom of an aromatic heterocyclic ring.
[0061] In accordance with the above definitions, any aryl group is covered by the term "aromatic ring system", and any heteroaryl group is covered by the term "heteroaromatic ring system".
[0062] An aromatic ring system having 6 to 40 aromatic ring atoms or a heteroaromatic ring system having 5 to 40 aromatic ring atoms is especially understood to mean groups derived from the groups mentioned above under aryl groups and heteroaryl groups, and from biphenyl, terphenyl, quaterphenyl, fluorene, spirobifluorene, dihydrophenanthrene, dihydropyrene, tetrahydropyrene, indenofluorene, truxene, isotruxene, spirotruxene, 15 spiroisotruxene, indenocarbazole, or from combinations of these groups.
[0063] In the context of the present invention, a straight-chain alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms and a branched or cyclic alkyl group having 3 to 20 carbon atoms and an alkenyl or alkynyl group having 2 to 40 carbon atoms in which individual hydrogen atoms or CH2 20 groups may also be substituted by the groups mentioned above in the definition of the radicals are preferably understood to mean the methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, i-propyl, n-butyl, i- butyl, s-butyl, t-butyl, 2-methylbutyl, n-pentyl, s-pentyl, cyclopentyl, neopentyl, n-hexyl, cyclohexyl, neohexyl, n-heptyl, cycloheptyl, n-octyl, cyclooctyl, 2-ethylhexyl, trifluoromethyl, pentafluoroethyl, 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl, ethenyl, propenyl, butenyl, pentenyl, cyclopentenyl, 25 hexenyl, cyclohexenyl, heptenyl, cycloheptenyl, octenyl, cyclooctenyl, ethynyl, propynyl, butynyl, pentynyl, hexynyl or octynyl radicals.
[0064] An alkoxy or thioalkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms in which individual hydrogen atoms or CH2 groups may also be substituted by the groups mentioned above in the definition of the radicals is preferably understood to mean methoxy, trifluoromethoxy, ethoxy, n-propoxy, i-propoxy, n-butoxy, i-butoxy, s-butoxy, t-butoxy, n-pentoxy, s-pentoxy, 2-methylbutoxy, n-hexoxy, cyclohexyloxy, n-heptoxy, cycloheptyloxy, n-octyloxy, cyclooctyloxy, 2-ethylhexyloxy, pentafluoroethoxy, 2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy, methylthio, ethylthio, n-propylthio, i-propylthio, n-butylthio, i-butylthio, s-butylthio, t-butylthio, n- 35 Foreignfiling_text P24-239-SEC-WO01 20250919

[0067] The wording that two or more radicals together may form a ring, in the context of the present application, shall be understood to mean, inter alia, that the two radicals are joined to one another by a chemical bond. In addition, however, the abovementioned wording shall also be understood to mean that, if one of the two radicals is hydrogen, the second radical binds to the position to which the hydrogen atom was bonded, forming a ring.
[0068] Preferably, the energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital of the compound H present in the hole-transport layer, HOMO (H), is:

[0081] 10
[0082] the lowest excited singlet state S1 of materials are determined via quantum-chemical calculations. For all quantum-chemical calculations, the Gaussian program package is used (Gaussian16). The singlet ground state geometries are optimized at the B3LYP / 6-31G(d) level of theory. Subsequently, TD-DFT singlet and triplet excitation energies (vertical 5 transitions) are computed using the optimized ground state geometry and the same method (B3LYP / 6-31G(d)). Default settings for SCF and geometry convergence are employed. For structures containing heavy metal atoms the calculation is carried out analogously to the above-described method for the organic substances, with the difference that the " LanL2DZ" base set is used for the metal atom and the "6-31 G(d)" base set is used for the ligands. The energy calculation gives the HOMO energy level HEh or LUMO energy level LEh in hartree units. The HOMO and LUMO energy levels in electron volts calibrated with reference to cyclic voltammetry measurements are determined therefrom as follows:
[0083] HOMO(eV) = (HEh*0.90603) - 0.84836
[0084] LUMO(eV) = (LEh*0.99687) - 0.72445
[0085] 15 For the purposes of this application, these values are to be regarded as HOMO and LUMO energy levels respectively of the materials.
[0086] The lowest triplet state T1 is defined as the energy of the triplet state having the lowest energy which arises from the quantum-chemical calculation described.
[0087] The lowest excited singlet state S1 is defined as the energy of the excited singlet state 20 having the lowest energy which arises from the quantum-chemical calculation described.
[0088] The method described herein is independent of the software package used and always gives the same results. Examples of frequently used programs for this purpose are " Gaussian16" (Gaussian Inc.) and Q Chem 4.1 (Q Chem, Inc.).

[0751] nature can be achieved by using building blocks which have been previously enriched with deuterium via a deuteration method or by submitting a compound to a deuteration method.
[0752] In accordance with the present invention, the deuteration degree corresponds to the 5 number of deuterium atoms in a compound on the total number of deuterium atoms and protium atoms in the compound in %, as follows:
[0753] Deuteration degree (%) = (ND* 100) / (NP+ ND)
[0754] where:
[0755] NDis the number of deuterium atoms in the compound
[0756] NPis the number of deuterium and protium atoms in the compounds

[1214] Layers HIL, HTL, AUX1 and AUX2 are all hole-transporting layers. Hole-transporting layers are understood here to mean all layers disposed between anode and emitting layer, preferably hole injection layers, hole transport layers, and electron blocker layers. A hole injection layer, like HIL, is understood here to mean a layer that preferably directly adjoins 20 the anode. A hole transport layer, like HTL, is understood here to mean a layer which is between the anode and emitting layer but preferably does not directly adjoin the anode, and preferably does not directly adjoin the emitting layer either. An electron blocker layer is understood here to mean a layer which is between the anode and emitting layer and directly adjoins the emitting layer and preferably has a high-energy LUMO and hence 25 prevents electrons from exiting from the emitting layer.

[1219] Besides the layers HI L, HTL, ALIX1 and ALIX2, the hole tansport region may comprise further hole transport layers.
[1220] The emitting layer comprises a host and a dopant selected from phosphorescent emitters.
[1221] 5
[1222] Preferably, the emitting layer comprises a host material, where the host material comprises a first compound selected from hole-transporting host materials and a second compound selected from electron-transporting host materials.
[1223] Preferably, the first compound is a hole-transporting host material selected from the group of the carbazole and triarylamine derivatives, more particularly the biscarbazoles, the bridged carbazoles, the triarylamines, the dibenzofuran-carbazole derivatives or dibenzofuran-amine derivatives, and the carbazoleamines.
[1224] 15 Preferably, the second compound is an electron-transporting host material selected from compounds comprising a group selected from substituted or unsubstituted triazines, pyrimidines, lactams, benzimidazoles, quinazolines, quinoxalines, azadibenzofurans, diazadibenzofurans, azadibenzothiophenes, diazadibenzothiophenes, carbolines and triptycenes.
[1225] 20
[1226] Preferably, the emitting layer comprises a host and a dopant preferably selected from phosphorescent emitters.
[1227] The term "phosphorescent emitters" typically encompasses compounds where the emitting 25 of light is effected through a spin-forbidden transition, for example a transition from an excited triplet state or a state having a higher spin quantum number, for example a quintet state.
[1228] Suitable phosphorescent emitters are especially compounds which, when suitably excited, emit light, preferably in the visible region, and also contain at least one atom of atomic number greater than 20, preferably greater than 38, and less than 84, more preferably greater than 56 and less than 80. Preference is given to using, as phosphorescent emitters, compounds containing copper, molybdenum, tungsten, rhenium, ruthenium, osmium,
[1229] 35 Foreignfiling_text P24-239-SEC-WO01 20250919
[1230] 103
[1231] rhodium, iridium, palladium, platinum, silver, gold or europium, especially compounds containing iridium, platinum or copper.
[1232] In the context of the present invention, all luminescent iridium, platinum or copper
[1233] 5 complexes are considered to be phosphorescent compounds.
[1234] Examples of the above-described emitting compounds can be found in applications WO 00 / 70655, WO 01 / 41512, WO 02 / 02714, WO 02 / 15645, EP 1191613, EP 1191612, EP 1191614, WO 05 / 033244, WO 05 / 019373 and US 2005 / 0258742. In general, all phosphorescent complexes as used for phosphorescent OLEDs according to the prior art and as known to those skilled in the art in the field of organic electroluminescent devices are suitable. It is also possible for the person skilled in the art, without exercising inventive skill, to use further phosphorescent complexes.
[1235] 15 The emitting layer is preferably a green-emitting layer.
[1236] What is meant by a green-emitting layer is a layer having a photoluminescence maximum within the range from 490 to 540 nm. The photoluminescence maximum of the layer is determined here by measuring the photoluminescence spectrum of the layer having a layer 20 thickness of 50 nm at room temperature.
[1237] The photoluminescence spectrum of the layer is recorded, for example, with a commercial photoluminescence spectrometer.
[1238] 25 The photoluminescence spectrum of the emitter chosen is generally measured in oxygen- free solution, 10-5molar, at room temperature, a suitable solvent being any in which the chosen emitter dissolves in the concentration mentioned. Particularly suitable solvents are typically toluene or 2-methyl-THF, but also dichloromethane. Measurement is effected with a commercial photoluminescence spectrometer. The triplet energy T1 in eV is determined from the photoluminescence spectra of the emitters. First the peak maximum Plmax. (in nm) of the photoluminescence spectrum is determined. The peak maximum Plmax. (in nm) is then converted to eV by: E(T 1 in eV) = 1240 / E(T 1 in nm) = 1240 / PLmax. (in nm).

Preferably, the hole transport layer HTL is identical, especially containing the same material, in the first and second devices according to the application in the arrangement, and preferably also in the third electronic device of the 20 arrangement.

In other words, different emitting compounds used in each of the 25 multiple emitting layers fluoresce or phosphoresce and emit blue, green, yellow, orange or red light. In a preferred embodiment, the electronic device contains three emitting layers in succession in a stack, of which one in each case exhibits blue emission, one green emission, and one orange or red, preferably red, emission. Preferably, in this case, the blue-emitting layer is a fluorescent layer, and the green-emitting layer is a phosphorescent layer, and the red-emitting layer is a phosphorescent layer.

In the case of multilayer structures, in addition to the metals mentioned, it is also possible to use further metals having a relatively high work function, for example Ag or Al, in which case combinations of the metals such as Ca / Ag, Mg / Ag or Ba / Ag, for example, are generally used. It may also be preferable to introduce a thin interlayer of a material having a high dielectric constant between a metallic cathode and the organic semiconductor. Examples of useful materials for this purpose are alkali metal or alkaline earth metal fluorides, but also the corresponding oxides or carbonates (e.g. Li F, U2O, BaF2, MgO, NaF, CsF, CS2CO3,
[1262] 35 Foreignfiling_text P24-239-SEC-WO01 20250919

In this case, the materials are applied by vapour deposition in vacuum sublimation systems at an initial pressure of less than 10'5mbar, preferably less than 10'6mbar. In this case, however, it is also possible that the initial pressure is even lower, for example less than 10'7mbar.

[1283] method, in which the materials are applied directly by a nozzle and thus structured (for example M. S. Arnold et al., Appl. Phys. Lett. 2008, 92, 053301).

[1359] 1. Preparation of OLED stacks
[1360] 20 The OLEDs are produced according to the following process, and their properties are characterized, as described below in detail.
[1361] Glass plaques which have been coated with structured ITO / Ag / ITO (indium tin oxide) in a thickness of 100 nm are used as the substrates to which the OLEDs are applied. The 25 materials used for production of the OLEDs are shown in Table 4.
[1362] The OLEDs have the following layer structure: substrate / hole injection layer (HIL) / hole transport layer (HTL) / electron blocker layers (EBL, or EBL1 and EBL2) / emission layer (EML) / hole blocking layer (HBL) / electron transport layer (ETL) / electron injection layer (EIL) and finally a cathode with capping layer. The cathode is formed by a mixture of Ag (91%) and Mg (9%) layer of thickness 12 nm, followed by a capping layer HT-01 with a thickness of 80 nm. All materials mentioned in the following are applied by thermal vapor deposition in a vacuum chamber.
[1363] 35 Foreignfiling_text P24-239-SEC-WO01 20250919
[1364] 112
[1365] The exact structure of the OLEDs are given in table 1, where the comparative examples CE1 and CE2 and examples E1-E7 with EBL materials used in OLEDs are summarized. The EML (38 nm thickness) is identical for all given examples and consists of matrix materials T21 and T22 (host materials) and an emitting dopant T23 which is added to the 5 matrix materials in a particular proportion by volume by co-evaporation. Details are given by T21: T22: T23 (35%:53%:12%) meaning here that the material T21 is present in the layer in a proportion by volume of 35% and T22 in a proportion of 53% and T23 in a proportion of 12%. In analogous manner, the ETL (31 nm thickness) is identical for all given examples and consists of E: LiQ (50%:50%). The HBL (5 nm thickness) is identical for all given examples and consists of compound G and the EIL (1.5 nm thickness) is identical for all examples and consists of Yb.

[1387] 2. Characterization of the performance of the OLED stacks
[1388] The properties of OLEDs are characterized in a standard manner, as explained below.
[1389] External Quantum Efficiency and voltage
[1390] The external quantum efficiency (EQE, measured in %) as a function of the luminance, calculated from current-voltage-luminance characteristics assuming Lambertian radiation
[1391] 35 Foreignfiling_text P24-239-SEC-WO01 20250919
[1392] 113
[1393] characteristics, is determined. The parameter EQE @ 10 mA / cm2refers to the external quantum efficiency which is attained at current density of 10 mA / cm2.
[1394] The voltage is extracted from voltage current density characteristics for current densities of 10 mA / cm2.
[1395] 5
[1396] Lifetime
[1397] Generally, lifetime is compared at a certain current density, or compared at a certain light intensity of the OLED at room temperature. For commercial success of an OLED, it is important what the lifetime at a certain light intensity is. If an OLED is more efficient, it reaches the same light intensity at a lower current density. So, less stress needs to be put on the OLED to obtain the same result. Furthermore, lifetime at elevated temperatures is an additional measure which becomes more and more important for state-of-the-art OLED devices.
[1398] 15
[1399] Therefore, lifetime is determined to assess the performance of the OLED. Lifetime values LT90 are measured as time passed (in hrs) until luminance is dropped to 90% of initial luminance Lo of 45000 cd / m2.

[1415] Devices E1, E3 and E6 comprising inventive compounds EB3, EB5 and EB8 respectivley, also show good lifetimes at high temperature (at 70°C).
[1416] In general, using the inventive compounds as the first auxiliary layer leads to better device performance than using them as the second auxiliary layer. In particular, an increased 5 efficiency and lifetime at room temperature is achieved over CE2. By this a better OLED stability against high temperature and current density stress can be achieved by using the inventive compounds as the first auxiliary layer.
