Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to, but are not limited to, the field of display technology, in particular to an arylamine compound and use thereof, an electroluminescent device and a display apparatus.
Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) is an active light emitting display device, which has the characteristics such as self-luminescence, high luminous brightness and efficiency, high resolution, wide color gamut and viewing angle, fast response speed, low energy consumption and flexibility, and has become a mainstream display product in the market at present.
Generally, organic luminescence refers to the phenomenon that electric energy is converted into light energy by using organic substances. OLED devices utilizing organic luminescence generally have an anode, a cathode and a functional layer containing organic substance disposed between the anode and the cathode. In order to improve the efficiency and stability of OLED, the functional layer containing organic substance generally adopts multi-layer structure composed of various substances. For example, it can be formed by Hole Injection Layer (HIL), Hole Transport Layer (HTL), Emitting Layer (EML), Electron Transport Layer (ETL) and Electron Injection Layer (EIL), etc., and Hole Block Layer (HBL) and Electron Block Layer (EBL) can also be added.
At present, many organic materials suitable for OLED functional layers have been developed, such as polycyclic compounds containing heteroatom(s). However, the properties of polycyclic compounds are greatly influenced by their chemical structures. For example, they may have different characteristics depending on the number and fusion position of rings, the species and arrangements of heteroatoms, band gaps (HOMO, LUMO), chemical properties and physical properties. Therefore, the research on developing materials suitable for OLED functional layers based on the diversity of organic substance has been continuously carried out.

The photoelectric functional material(s) used in OLED devices includes at least a hole injection material, a hole transport material, a luminescent material, an electron transport material, etc. Type and combination form of the materials have the characteristics of richness and diversity. In addition, for OLED devices with different structures, the photoelectric functional materials used have relatively strong selectivity, and performance of the same materials in devices with different structures may be completely different.
Therefore, according to current requirements of OLED devices for industrial application, requirements of OLED devices for photoelectric characteristics, and requirements of OLED devices for characteristics of different functional films, there is a need to select more suitable and high-performance OLED functional materials or material combinations, in order to achieve the comprehensive characteristics of high efficiency, long lifetime and low voltage of the devices. In terms of the actual demand of current OLED display lighting industry, the development of OLED materials is far from enough and lags behind the requirements of panel manufacturers, therefore, it is particularly important to develop organic functional materials of higher performance.
In addition, crosstalk occurs in the current mass-produced OLED devices. The reason for this phenomenon is that P-doped hole transport materials are often used as hole injection materials. After P-doping, the transverse current of conventional hole transport materials becomes hundreds of times larger, which leads to transverse migration of charges. However, the turn-on voltage of three colors of RGB gradually increases. When blue sub-pixels turn on, green sub-pixel and red sub-pixel turn on at the same time under the drive of transverse current, resulting in color crosstalk.
An embodiment of the present disclosure provides an arylamine compound, having a general structural formula of:
In embodiments of the present disclosure, the aryl group includes, but is not limited to, phenyl group, naphthyl group, anthryl group, acenaphthylenyl group, indenyl group, phenanthrenyl group, azulenyl group, pyrenyl group, fluorenyl group, perylene group, spirofluorenyl group, spirobifluorenyl group, chrysenyl group, benzophenanthrenyl group, benzoanthryl group, fluoranthenyl group, picenyl group, naphthacenyl group, and indenophenyl group.
The term “hetero” as used in heteroaryl group means that at least one carbon atom in an aromatic ring is substituted by a heteroatom selected from any one or more of a nitrogen atom (N), an oxygen atom (O), and a sulfur atom (S).
In embodiments of the present disclosure, the heteroaryl includes, but is not limited to, benzoxazolyl group, benzothiazolyl group, indolyl group, benzimidazolyl group, pyrrolyl group, pyridyl group, pyrimidinyl group, pyrazinyl group, pyridazinyl group, triazinyl group, tetrazinyl group, imidazolyl group, pyrazolyl group, carbazolyl group, thienyl group, thiazolyl group, benzocarbazolyl group, dibenzocarbazolyl group, indolo carbazolyl group, indeno carbazolyl group, quinolinyl group, isoquinolinyl group, phthalazinyl group, quinoxalinyl group, cinnolinyl group, quinazolinyl group, phthalazinyl group, benzoquinolinyl group, benzisoquinolinyl group, benzoquinazolinyl group, benzoquinoxalinyl group, acridyl group, phenanthrolinyl group, furyl group, pyranyl group, oxazinyl group, oxazolyl group, oxadiazolyl group, triazolyl group, dioxynyl group, benzofuryl group, dibenzofuryl group, thiopyranyl group, thiazinyl group, phenylthio group and N-substituted spirofluorenyl group.
The arylamine compound provided by embodiments of the present disclosure is a kind of aromatic hydrocarbon based molecular blocks with sp3 hybrid carbon atom as the center and with a cross configuration. The molecule has certain stereoscopic property, which can improve the thermal stability of the molecule, enabling the molecule to obtain higher glass transition temperature (Tg).
Furthermore, the charge in the arylamine compound provided by embodiments of the present disclosure is not easy to diffuse transversely after film formation, so that the lifetime, efficiency and/or working voltage can be improved at the same time. If a substituent(s) is/are introduced in the arylamine compound provided by embodiments of the present disclosure, the transverse current of the compound can be further reduced, which is about 10% of that of conventional materials. Heteroatom(s) can also be introduced, which can increase the injection of positive charges, so that the compound can be applied to a hole injection material, a hole transport material or an electron block material.
In addition, some applications of spirocyclic compounds in an electron injection layer, an electron transport layer, an electron block layer or a hole transport layer have currently been reported in literatures, for example, Chinese invention patent applications CN112358471A and CN113773208A, etc. However, the spirocyclic compounds reported in CN112358471A and CN113773208A require relatively higher evaporation temperature (Te) during deposition, so the mass-production process requires higher requirements, otherwise it will easily lead to material decomposition or defect state, resulting in low yield or insufficient lifetime, etc. However, the arylamine compound provided by embodiments of the present disclosure has low molecular weight and is beneficial to forming a melt-type evaporation material, so that the evaporation temperature (Te) required during deposition is relatively low, and the glass transition temperature (Tg) is relatively high, which has higher process feasibility and can improve the stability of mass-production evaporation.
