›BACKGROUND

1. Field

The following description relates to a compound for an organic light-emitting diode and an organic light-emitting diode including the same.

2. Description of the Related Art

Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), which are self-emitting diodes, have advantages such as wide viewing angles, good contrast, quick response, high brightness, and good driving voltage characteristics. Additionally, OLEDs can provide multicolored images.

A typical OLED has a structure including a substrate, an anode, a hole transport layer (HTL), an emission layer (EML), an electron transport layer (ETL), and a cathode, which are sequentially stacked on the substrate. The HTL, the EML, and the ETL are organic thin films formed of organic compounds.

An operating principle of an OLED having the above-described structure is as follows. When a voltage is applied between the anode and the cathode, holes injected from the anode move to the EML via the HTL, and electrons injected from the cathode move to the EML via the ETL. The holes and electrons (carriers) recombine in the organic EML to generate excitons. When the excitons drop from an excited state to a ground state, light is emitted.

In Formula 1, a first carbon of the pyrene core is connected to —N(R 1 )(R 2 ), which is an amino group, with a linker -(L 1 ) a - therebetween, and a sixth carbon (that is, a carbon which is a distance of 6 carbons away from the first carbon) of the pyrene core is connected to an electron transporting group R 3 . In some embodiments, the electron transporting group R 3 has a linker -(L 2 ) b -. According to embodiments herein described, an electron donor and an electron acceptor are both provided in a single molecule and thus, movement and transport of charges may be smoothly performed. As a result, efficiency of an organic light-emitting diode including the compound of Formula 1 may improve.

Furthermore, since R 1 and R 2 in Formula 1 are not bonded to each other to form a ring (for example, carbazole or the like), stabilization effects of an orbital energy function of the compound molecule of Formula 1 increases and thus, high emission efficiency may be obtained. Accordingly, in embodiments, from among the compounds of Formula 1, compounds having R 1 and R 2 that are bonded to each other for example, by a single bond, are excluded. That is, in Formula 1, R 1 and R 2 are not bonded to each other and do not form a ring.

Accordingly, an organic light-emitting diode including the pyrene-based compound represented by Formula 1 may have low driving voltage, high brightness, high efficiency, and a long lifespan.

The pyrene-based compound of Formula 1 may be synthesized, for example, by using a known organic synthesis method or by using an organic synthesis method identifiable to one of ordinary skill in the art in view of following examples.

In one embodiment, the pyrene-based compound of Formula 1 is used between a pair of electrodes of an organic light-emitting diode. For example, the pyrene-based compound may be used in at least one of an emission layer and an electron transport area between the emission layer and a cathode (for example, a hole blocking layer, an electron injection layer, an electron transport layer, or the like).

Accordingly, provided is an organic light-emitting diode including a first electrode, an organic layer on the first electrode, and a second electrode on the organic layer. In one embodiment, the organic layer includes an emission layer and includes at least one of the pyrene-based compound of Formula 1. In one embodiment, the organic layer further includes a hole transport area between the first electrode and the emission layer and an electron transport area between the emission layer and the second electrode. The pyrene-based compound may be in either the electron transport area or the emission layer, or both the electron transport area and the emission layer. Herein, when the pyrene-based compound is in both the electron transport area and the emission layer, the pyrene-based compound included in the electron transport area and the pyrene-based compound included in the emission layer may be identical to or different from each other. That is, each pyrene-based compound may have a same chemical formula within the scope of Formula 1, or each pyrene-based compound may have a different chemical formula within the scope of Formula 1.

The wording “at least one pyrene-based compound” as used herein may refer to one kind of pyrene-based compound represented by Formula 1 or at least two different kinds of pyrene-based compound represented by Formula 1. For example, an element referred to as including “at least one pyrene-based compound” may include one kind of pyrene-based compound represented by Formula 1 or at least two different kinds of pyrene-based compound represented by Formula 1. That is, the element may have a pyrene-based compound having a single formula within the scope of Formula 1, or may have a at least two pyrene-based compounds, each having different formulas within the scope of Formula 1.

For example, in an embodiment, the organic layer includes only Compound 1 as the pyrene-based compound. In one embodiment, Compound 1 may be in an electron transport layer of an organic light-emitting diode. According to another embodiment of the present invention, the organic layer may include Compound 1 and Compound 10 as the pyrene-based compound. In one embodiment, Compound 1 and Compound 10 may be in a single layer (for example, Compound 1 and Compound 10 may all be in an electron transport layer), or different layers (for example, Compound 1 may be in an electron transport layer and Compound 10 may be in an emission layer.)

The hole transport area of the organic layer may include at least one layer selected from a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a functional layer having a hole injection function and a hole transport function (hereinafter referred to as “H-functional layer”), a buffer layer, and an electron blocking layer. The electron transport area of the organic layer may include at least one layer selected from a hole blocking layer, an electron transport layer, and an electron injection layer.

The term “organic layer” used herein refers to a single- and/or multi-layer structure between the first electrode and the second electrode of the organic light-emitting diode.

The drawing is a schematic sectional view of an organic light-emitting device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, the structure and manufacturing method of an organic light-emitting device according to an embodiment of the present invention is described in detail with reference to the drawing.

A substrate 11 , which may be any suitable substrate that is used in general organic light-emitting devices, for example, a glass substrate or a transparent plastic substrate having mechanical strength, thermal stability, transparency, surface smoothness, ease of handling, and water resistance.

A first electrode 13 may be formed by, for example, depositing or sputtering a material for a first electrode on the substrate 11 . When the first electrode 13 is an anode, the material for the first electrode may be selected from materials with a high work function to enable ease of hole injection. The first electrode 13 may be a reflective electrode or a transmission electrode. The material for the first electrode may be a transparent material with high conductivity, and examples of such a material are indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), tin oxide (SnO 2 ), and zinc oxide (ZnO). When magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), aluminum-lithium (Al—Li), calcium (Ca), magnesium-indium (Mg—In), magnesium-silver (Mg—Ag), or the like is used, the first electrode 13 may be used as a reflective electrode.

The first electrode 13 may have a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure including at least two layers. For example, the first electrode 13 may have a three-layered structure of ITO/Ag/ITO, but is not limited thereto.

The organic layer 15 may be disposed on the first electrode 13 .

The organic layer 15 may include a hole transport area that sequentially includes a hole injection layer and a hole transport layer; an emission layer; and an electron transport area that sequentially includes an electron transport layer and an electron injection layer.

A hole injection layer (HIL) may be formed on the first electrode 13 by using various methods, such as vacuum deposition, spin coating, casting, Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) deposition.

When the HIL is formed using vacuum deposition, vacuum deposition conditions may vary according to the compound that is used to form the HIL, and the desired structure and thermal properties of the HIL to be formed. For example, vacuum deposition may be performed at a temperature of about 100° C. to about 500° C., a pressure of about 10 −8 torr to about 10 −3 torr, and a deposition rate of about 0.01 to about 100 Å/sec. However, the deposition conditions are not limited thereto.

When the HIL is formed using spin coating, the coating conditions may vary according to the compound that is used to form the HIL, and the desired structure and thermal properties of the HIL to be formed. For example, the coating rate may be in the range of about 2000 rpm to about 5000 rpm, and a temperature at which heat treatment is performed to remove a solvent after coating may be in the range of about 80° C. to about 200° C. However, the coating conditions are not limited thereto.

As a material for the HIL, the pyrene-based compound of Formula 1 may be used. Alternatively, a known hole injection material may be used, for example, N,N′-diphenyl-N,N′-bis-[4-(phenyl-m-tolyl-amino)-phenyl]-biphenyl-4,4′-diamine (DNTPD), a phthalocyanine compound such as copper phthalocyanine, 4,4′,4″-tris (3-methylphenylphenylamino)triphenylamine (m-MTDATA), N,N′-di(1-naphthyl)-N,N′-diphenylbenzidine (NPB), TDATA, 2-TNATA, polyaniline/dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (Pani/DBSA), poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT/PSS), polyaniline/camphor sulfonic acid (pani/CSA), or (polyaniline)/poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PANI/PSS), but the hole injection material is not limited thereto:

In an embodiment, a thickness of the HIL is in a range of about 100 Å to about 10000 Å. In another embodiment, the thickness of the HIL is in a range of about 100 Å to about 1000 Å. In one embodiment, when the thickness of the HIL is within the range described above, the HIL has good hole injection characteristics without a substantial increase in a driving voltage.

Then, a hole transport layer (HTL) may be formed on the HIL by using vacuum deposition, spin coating, casting, LB deposition, or the like. When the HTL is formed using vacuum deposition or spin coating, the deposition and coating conditions may be similar to those for the formation of the HIL, though the deposition and coating conditions may vary according to a compound that is used to form the HTL.

As a material for the HTL, the pyrene-based compound of Formula 1 may be used. Alternatively, as a known material for a HTL, a carbazole derivative, such as N-phenylcarbazole, or polyvinylcarbazole, N,N′-bis(3-methylphenyl)-N,N′-diphenyl-[1,1-biphenyl]-4,4′-diamine (TPD, shown below), 4,4′,4″-tris(N-carbazolyl)triphenylamine (TCTA), N,N′-di(1-naphthyl)-N,N′-diphenylbenzidine (NPB, shown below), or the like may be used, but the material for the HTL is not limited thereto.

In an embodiment, a thickness of the HTL is in a range of about 50 Å to about 20000 Å. In another embodiment, the thickness of the HTL is in a range of about 100 Å to about 1500 Å. In one embodiment, when the thickness of the HTL is within the range described above, the HTL has good hole transport characteristics without a substantial increase in a driving voltage.

The organic light-emitting diode 10 may include, instead of the HIL and the HTL, the H-functional layer (a functional layer having a hole injection function and a hole transport function). The H-functional layer may include one or more materials selected from the materials for the HIL and the materials for the HTL. In an embodiment, a thickness of the H-functional layer is in a range of about 100 Å to about 10000 Å. In another embodiment, the thickness of the H-functional layer about 100 Å to about 1000 Å.

When the HBL is formed using vacuum deposition or spin coating, the deposition and coating conditions may be similar to those for the formation of the HIL, though the conditions for deposition and coating may vary according to the material that is used to form the HBL. Any hole-blocking material used in the art may be used. Non-limiting examples of hole-blocking materials include oxadiazole derivatives, triazole derivatives, and phenanthroline derivatives. For example, BCP illustrated below may be used as a material for the HBL.

In an embodiment, a thickness of the HBL is in a range of about 20 Å to about 1000 Å. In another embodiment, the thickness of the HBL is in a range of about 30 Å to about 300 Å. In one embodiment, when the thickness of the HBL is within these ranges, the HBL has improved hole blocking ability without a substantial increase in driving voltage.

The organic light-emitting diode may be included in an organic light-emitting device. According to another aspect, an organic light-emitting device including the organic light-emitting diode and a transistor is provided. The transistor may include an active layer, source and drain electrodes, a gate electrode, and a gate insulating film, and at least one of a first electrode and a second electrode of the organic light-emitting diode may be electrically connected to one of the source and drain electrodes of the transistor. The active layer of the transistor may be selected from various known active layers formed of amorphous silicon, crystalline silicon, an oxide semiconductor, an organic compound semiconductor, for example.

›Examples7

›Example 1

An anode was prepared by cutting a Corning 15 Ωcm 2 (1200 Å) ITO glass substrate to a size of 50 mm×50 m×0.7 mm, ultrasonically cleaning the glass substrate using isopropyl alcohol and pure water for 5 minutes each, and then irradiating UV light for 30 minutes and exposing to ozone to clean. Then, the anode was loaded into a vacuum deposition apparatus.

2-TNATA was deposited on the ITO layer to form an HIL having a thickness of 600 Å, and then, NPB was deposited on the HIL to form an HTL having a thickness of 300 Å.

Subsequently, 9,10-di-naphthalen-2-yl-anthracene (DNA, host) and Compound 5 (dopant) were co-deposited on the HTL at a weight ratio of 98:2 to form an EML having a thickness of 300 Å.

Thereafter, Alq 3 was deposited on the EML to form an ETL having a thickness of 300 Å, and LIF was deposited on the ETL to form an EIL having a thickness of 10 Å, and then, Al was deposited on the EIL to form a second electrode (cathode) having a thickness of 3000 Å, thereby manufacturing of an organic light-emitting diode.

Evaluation Example 1

Driving voltage, current density, brightness, luminescence color, efficiency, and half-life lifetime (@50 mA/cm 2 ) of the organic light-emitting diodes of Examples 1 to 7 and Comparative Examples 1 and 5 were evaluated by using PR650 Spectroscan Source Measurement Unit (a product of PhotoResearch Company). Results thereof are shown in Table 1 below.

From Table 1, it is confirmed that the organic light-emitting diodes of Examples 1 to 7 had better driving voltage, brightness, efficiency, color purity, and/or lifetime characteristics than the organic light-emitting diodes of Comparative Examples 1 to 5.

An organic light-emitting device including the pyrene-based compound may have a low driving voltage, high brightness, high efficiency, and/or a long lifespan.
