This application claims the priority to and the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2019-0078954, filed on Jul. 1, 2019, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, and all the benefits accruing under 35 U.S.C. § 119, the content of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.

BACKGROUND

1. Field

One or more embodiments relate to a composition and an organic light-emitting device including the same.

2. Description of the Related Art

Organic light-emitting devices are self-emission devices, which have better characteristics in terms of viewing angle, response time, brightness, driving voltage, and response speed, and produce full-color images.

In an example, an organic light-emitting device includes an anode, a cathode, and an organic layer between the anode and the cathode, wherein the organic layer includes an emission layer. A hole transport region may be between the anode and the emission layer, and an electron transport region may be between the emission layer and the cathode. Holes provided from the anode may move toward the emission layer through the hole transport region, and electrons provided from the cathode may move toward the emission layer through the electron transport region. The holes and the electrons recombine in the emission layer to produce excitons. These excitons transit from an excited state to a ground state, thereby generating light.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING

These and/or other aspects will become apparent and more readily appreciated from the following description of the embodiments, taken in conjunction with FIGURE which is a schematic view of an organic light-emitting device according to an embodiment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout. In this regard, the present embodiments may have different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the descriptions set forth herein. Accordingly, the embodiments are merely described below, by referring to the FIGURES, to explain aspects of the present description. As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. Expressions such as “at least one of,” when preceding a list of elements, modify the entire list of elements and do not modify the individual elements of the list.

It will be understood that when an element is referred to as being “on” another element, it can be directly on the other element or intervening elements may be present therebetween In contrast, when an element is referred to as being “directly on” another element, there are no intervening elements present.

It will be understood that, although the terms “first,” “second,” “third” etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers and/or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers and/or sections should not be limited by these terms These terms are only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer or section from another element, component, region, layer or section Thus, “a first element,” “component,” “region,” “layer” or “section” discussed below could be termed a second element, component, region, layer or section without departing from the teachings herein.

The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. As used herein, “a,” “an,” “the,” and “at least one” do not denote a limitation of quantity, and are intended to cover both the singular and plural, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. For example, “an element” has the same meaning as “at least one element,” unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

“Or” means “and/or.” As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items It will be further understood that the terms “comprises” and/or “comprising,” or “includes” and/or “including” when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, regions, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, regions, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof.

Furthermore, relative terms, such as “lower” or “bottom” and “upper” or “top,” may be used herein to describe one element's relationship to another element as illustrated in the FIGURES. It will be understood that relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in addition to the orientation depicted in the FIGURES. For example, if the device in one of the FIGURES is turned over, elements described as being on the “lower” side of other elements would then be oriented on “upper” sides of the other elements. The exemplary term “lower,” can therefore, encompasses both an orientation of “lower” and “upper,” depending on the particular orientation of the FIGURE. Similarly, if the device in one of the FIGURES is turned over, elements described as “below” or “beneath” other elements would then be oriented “above” the other elements. The exemplary terms “below” or “beneath” can, therefore, encompass both an orientation of above and below.

“About” or “approximately” as used herein is inclusive of the stated value and means within an acceptable range of deviation for the particular value as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art, considering the measurement in question and the error associated with measurement of the particular quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system). For example, “about” can mean within one or more standard deviations, or within ±30%, 20%, 10% or 5% of the stated value.

Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs. It will be further understood that terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and the present disclosure, and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly so defined herein.

Exemplary embodiments are described herein with reference to cross section illustrations that are schematic illustrations of idealized embodiments. As such, variations from the shapes of the illustrations as a result, for example, of manufacturing techniques and/or tolerances, are to be expected. Thus, embodiments described herein should not be construed as limited to the particular shapes of regions as illustrated herein but are to include deviations in shapes that result, for example, from manufacturing For example, a region illustrated or described as flat may, typically, have rough and/or nonlinear features Moreover, sharp angles that are illustrated may be rounded. Thus, the regions illustrated in the figures are schematic in nature and their shapes are not intended to illustrate the precise shape of a region and are not intended to limit the scope of the present claims.

A composition according to an aspect of the present disclosure may include a platinum (Pt)-containing organometallic compound, a first compound, a second compound, and a third compound. The Pt-containing organometallic compound, the first compound, the second compound, and the third compound will be described in detail below.

The composition may not include iridium (Ir).

The Pt-containing organometallic compound, the first compound, the second compound, and the third compound included in the composition may be different from each other. That is, the composition may include 4 or more different compounds.

In one or more embodiments, the Pt-containing organometallic compound may include Pt and an organic ligand, and the Pt and the organic ligand may form 1, 2, 3, or 4 cyclometallated ring(s).

In one or more embodiments, the Pt-containing organometallic compound may include Pt and a tetradentate organic ligand, and the Pt and the tetradentate organic ligand may form 3 or 4 cyclometallated rings.

In one or more embodiments, the Pt-containing organometallic compound may include Pt and a tetradentate organic ligand, and the tetradentate organic ligand may include a benzimidazole group and a pyridine group. Each of the benzimidazole group and the pyridine group may be directly linked to the Pt of the Pt-containing organometallic compound.

An absolute value of a highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy level of the Pt-containing organometallic compound may be 5.25 eV to 5.55 eV.

The first compound may include at least one electron transport moiety.

In the present specification, the term “electron transport moiety” may be a cyano group, a fluoro group, a π-electron-deficient nitrogen-containing cyclic group, a group represented by one of the following formulae, or any combination thereof:

In the formulae above, *, *′, and *″ each indicate a binding site to a neighboring atom.

Neither of the second compound and third compound may include a metal.

For example, each of the absolute value of the HOMO energy level of the second compound and the absolute value of the HOMO energy level of the third compound may be 5.30 eV to 5.85 eV, for example, 5.50 eV to 5.75 eV.

The difference between the absolute value of the HOMO energy level of the second compound and the absolute value of the HOMO energy level of the third compound may be 0.01 eV to 0.30 eV, for example, 0.05 eV to 0.10 eV. When the difference between the absolute value of the HOMO energy level of the second compound and the absolute value of the HOMO energy level of the third compound is satisfied within the ranges above, the effective HOMO energy disorder parts of the Gaussian disorder model (GDM) are increased to facilitate hole transfer among the Pt-containing organometallic compound, the second compound, and the third compound, and the positive polaron density of the Pt-containing organometallic compound may be maintained at a high level. Accordingly, an electronic device, for example, an organic light-emitting device, including the composition may have high external quantum luminescence efficiency, low driving voltage, and high lifetime characteristics.

In one or more embodiments, at least one of the second compound and the third compound (for example, all of the second compound and the third compound) may not include the electron transport moiety.

In one or more embodiments, at least one of the second compound and the third compound (for example, all of the second compound and the third compound) may each independently be:

i) a condensed ring in which one or more fifth rings and one or more sixth rings are condensed with each other,

or

iii) any combination thereof,

wherein the fifth ring may be a cyclopentadiene group, a pyrrole group, a furan group, a thiophene group, or a silole group,

the sixth ring may be a π-electron-rich C₃-C₃₀ cyclic group, and
