Description

17 parts
›TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to an organic electroluminescent compound and an organic electroluminescent device comprising the same.

›BACKGROUND ART

In 1987, Tang et al. of Eastman Kodak first developed a small molecule green organic electroluminescent device (OLED) of TPD/A1q3 bilayer consisting of a light-emitting layer and a charge transport layer. Since then, the research on an OLED has been rapidly carried out, and it has been commercialized. An OLED changes electric energy into light by applying electricity to an organic light-emitting material, and commonly comprises an anode, a cathode, and an organic layer formed between the two electrodes. The organic layer of the OLED may comprise a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a hole auxiliary layer, a light-emitting auxiliary layer, an electron blocking layer, a light-emitting layer (containing host and dopant materials), an electron buffer layer, a hole blocking layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, etc., if necessary. The materials used in the organic layer can be classified into a hole injection material, a hole transport material, a hole auxiliary material, a light-emitting auxiliary material, an electron blocking material, a light-emitting material, an electron buffer material, a hole blocking material, an electron transport material, an electron injection material, etc., depending on functions.

The most important factor determining luminous efficiency in an OLED is light-emitting materials. The light-emitting materials are required to have the high quantum efficiency, high movement degree of an electron and a hole, and uniformality and stability of the formed light-emitting material layer. The light-emitting material is classified into blue, green, and red light-emitting materials according to the light-emitting color, and further includes yellow or orange light-emitting materials. Furthermore, the light-emitting material is classified into a host material and a dopant material in a functional aspect. Recently, an urgent task is the development of an OLED having high efficiency and long lifespan. In particular, the development of highly excellent light-emitting material over conventional materials is urgently required, considering the EL properties necessary for medium- and large-sized OLED panels. For this, preferably, as a solvent in a solid state and an energy transmitter, a host material should have high purity and a suitable molecular weight in order to be deposited under vacuum. Furthermore, a host material is required to have high glass transition temperature and pyrolysis temperature to achieve thermal stability, high electrochemical stability to achieve a long lifespan, easy formability of an amorphous thin film, good adhesion with adjacent layers, and no movement between layers.

Korean Patent No. 1627750 discloses a benzo[a]indolo[3,2-c]carbazole structure, and Korean Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2015-135109 discloses a dibenzocarbazole linked with a heteroaryl moiety such as quinazoline or quinoxaline via a single bond or linker. However, the above documents do not specifically disclose the structure in which residues of the backbone are further fused. The development for improving the performance of an OLED is still required.

Hereinafter, the driving voltage, the luminous efficiency and the lifespan properties of an OLED including the compound represented by formula 1 will be explained. However, the following examples merely illustrate the properties of an OLED according to the present disclosure in detail, but the present disclosure is not limited to the following examples.

Comparative Example 1: Producing a Red Light-Emitting OLED not According to the Present Disclosure

An OLED not according to the present disclosure was produced as follows: A transparent electrode indium tin oxide (ITO) thin film (10 Ω/sq) on a glass substrate for an OLED (GEOMATEC CO., LTD., Japan) was subjected to an ultrasonic washing with acetone and isopropyl alcohol, sequentially, and then was stored in isopropanol. The ITO substrate was mounted on a substrate holder of a vacuum vapor deposition apparatus. Compound HI-1 was introduced into a cell of the vacuum vapor deposition apparatus, and then the pressure in the chamber of the apparatus was then controlled to 10 −7 torr. Thereafter, an electric current was applied to the cell to evaporate the above-introduced material, thereby forming a first hole injection layer having a thickness of 80 nm on the ITO substrate. Next, compound HI-2 was introduced into another cell of the vacuum vapor deposition apparatus and was evaporated by applying an electric current to the cell, thereby forming a second hole injection layer having a thickness of 5 nm on the first hole injection layer. Compound HT-1 was then introduced into another cell of the vacuum vapor deposition apparatus and was evaporated by applying an electric current to the cell, thereby forming a first hole transport layer having a thickness of 10 nm on the second hole injection layer. Compound HT-3 was then introduced into another cell of the vacuum vapor deposition apparatus and was evaporated by applying an electric current to the cell, thereby forming a second hole transport layer having a thickness of 60 nm on the first hole transport layer. After forming the hole injection layers and the hole transport layers, a light-emitting layer was formed thereon as follows: Compound C was introduced into one cell of the vacuum vapor depositing apparatus as a host, and compound D-39 was introduced into another cell as a dopant. The two materials were evaporated at a different rate and the dopant was deposited in a doping amount of 3 wt % based on the total amount of the host and dopant to form a light-emitting layer having a thickness of 40 nm on the second hole transport layer. Compound ET-1:compound EI-1 as an electron transport material was then deposited on the light-emitting layer at a weight ratio of 50:50 to form an electron transport layer having a thickness of 35 nm. After depositing compound EI-1 as an electron injection layer having a thickness of 2 nm on the electron transport layer, an Al cathode having a thickness of 80 nm was deposited on the electron injection layer by another vacuum vapor deposition apparatus. Thus, an OLED was produced. All the compounds used for producing the OLED were purified by vacuum sublimation at 10 −6 torr.

Device Example 1: Producing a Red Light-Emitting OLED Comprising a Compound According to the Present Disclosure

An OLED was produced in the same manner as in Comparative Example 1, except that compound C1-61 was used as a host.

Device Examples 2 to 5: Producing a Red Light-Emitting OLED Comprising a Compound According to the Present Disclosure

OLEDs were produced in the same manner as in Comparative Example 1, except that compound HT-2 instead of compound HT-3 was used in the second hole transport layer, and the compound as shown in Table 1 below was used as a host.

›Example 9: Preparation of Compound C2-52 · 2 of 2

The measurement results of the driving voltage based on 50 mA/cm 2 of the OLED produced by Comparative Example 1 and Device Examples 1 to 5 are shown in Table 1 below.

Device Examples 6 to 10: Producing an OLED Comprising a Compound According to the Present Disclosure

OLEDs were produced in the same manner as in Comparative Example 1, except that compound HT-2 was used in the second hole transport layer, the first and second hosts, not a single host, shown in Tables 2 and 3 were introduced into different cells so as to have a weight ratio of 50:50, and the dopant was deposited in a doping amount of 3 wt % based on the total amount of the hosts and the dopant to form a light-emitting layer having a thickness of 40 nm on the second hole transport layer.

Comparative Examples 2 and 3: Producing an OLED Comprising Only a Second Host

OLEDs were produced in the same manner as in Comparative Example 1, except that compound HT-2 was used in the second hole transport layer, and only the second host shown in Table 2 or 3 was used as a host.

After producing OLEDs, the driving voltage and power efficiency at 5,000 nits were measured. The lifespan (T98), the time taken to be reduced from 100% to 98% of the luminance, based on a luminance of 5,000 nits of the produced OLEDs are shown in Tables 2 and 3 below.

From Device Examples 1 to 5 above, it is confirmed that the OLED produced by using the organic electroluminescent compound of the present disclosure as a host has a driving voltage lower by 15% or more as compared to the OLED produced by using a conventional compound as a host. From this, it can be seen that the same battery may be used longer, since the use of the organic electroluminescent compound of the present disclosure in a consumer electronic product requiring low power, in particular, a portable display such as a cellular phone, has a lower power consumption than that in the case of using a conventional compound as a host.

In addition, from Device Examples 6 to 10 above, it can be seen that the OLEDs in which the organic electroluminescent compound of the present disclosure (the first host material) and the second host material of the present disclosure are codeposited, are superior in driving voltage, power efficiency, and lifespan to an OLED using only the second host material of the present disclosure.

The compounds used in the Comparative Examples and Device Examples are shown in Table 4 below.
