Description
BACKGROUND

1. Field


The present invention relates to a novel compound and an organic electronic device using the same.


2. Description of Related Art


It is well known that organic light emitting device (OLED device) was initially invented and proposed by Eastman Kodak Company through a vacuum evaporation method. Tang and VanSlyke of Kodak Company deposited an electron transport material such as Alq3 on a transparent indium tin oxide (abbreviated as ITO) glass formed with an organic layer of aromatic diamine thereon, and subsequently completed the fabrication of an organic electroluminescent (EL) device after a metal electrode is vapor-deposited onto the Alq3 layer. The organic EL device currently becomes a new generation lighting device or display because of high brightness, fast response speed, light weight, compactness, true color, no difference in viewing angles, without using any LCD backlight plates, and low power consumption.


Recently, some interlayers such as electron transport layer and hole transport layer are added between the cathode and the anode for increasing the current efficiency and power efficiency of the OLEDs. For example, an organic light emitting diode (OLED) 1′ shown as FIG. 1 is designed to consist of: a cathode 11′, an electron injection layer 13′, a light emitting layer 14′, a hole transport layer 16′, and an anode 18′.


Recently, for effectively increasing the lighting performance of OLEDs, OLED manufactures and researchers have made great efforts to develop different compounds used as the materials for the OLEDs. However, in spite of various compounds have been developed, the current phosphorescence OLEDs still cannot perform outstanding luminous efficiency and device lifetime. Accordingly, in view of the conventional or commercial materials for OLEDs still including drawbacks, the inventor of the present application has made great efforts to make inventive research thereon and eventually provided novel compounds for OLED.


SUMMARY

The object of the present disclosure is to provide a novel compound and an organic electronic device comprising the same.


According to one or more embodiments, a compound is represented by Formula (I) below:

Example—OLED Device Fabrication

A glass substrate having ITO (indium tin oxide) coated thereon to a thickness 1500 Å was placed in distilled water containing a detergent dissolved therein, and was ultrasonically washed. Herein, the detergent was a product manufactured by Fischer Co., and the distilled water was filtered twice through a filter (Millipore Co.). After the ITO had been washed with detergent for 30 minutes, it was ultrasonically washed twice with distilled water for 10 minutes followed by isopropyl alcohol, acetone, and methanol, which was then dried, after which it was transported to a plasma cleaner. Then, the substrate was clean with oxygen plasma for 5 minutes, and then transferred to a vacuum evaporator.


Various organic materials and metal materials were sequentially deposited on the ITO substrate to obtain the OLED device of the present examples. The vacuum degree during the deposition was maintained at 1×10−6 to 3×10−7 torr. In addition, the formulas and the code names of the materials used in the following OLED devices were listed in the following Table 7.


Preparation of Blue OLED Device


To fabricate the blue OLED device of the present examples, HAT was firstly deposited on the ITO substrate to form a first hole injection layer with a thickness of 100 Å. HI-2 was deposited on the first hole injection layer with a dopant HAT (5.0 wt %) to form a second hole injection layer having a thickness of 750 Å.


Next, HT-1 or compounds of the present disclosure was deposited to form a first hole transporting layer (HT1) with a thickness of 100 Å; and/or HT-2 or compounds of the present disclosure was deposited to form a second hole transporting layer (HT2) with a thickness of 100 Å.


Then, BH with a dopant BD-1 or BD-2 (3.5 wt %) was deposited on the first or second hole transporting layer to form a light emitting layer having a thickness of 250 Å. ET with a dopant Liq (35.0 wt %) was deposited on the light emitting layer to form an electron transporting layer with a thickness of 250 Å. Liq was deposited on the electron transporting layer to form an electron injection layer with a thickness of 15 Å. A1 was deposited on the electron injection layer to form a cathode with a thickness of 1500 Å.


After the aforementioned process, the blue OLED device used in the following test was obtained.


Preparation of Red OLED Device


The preparation of the red OLED device was similar to that of the blue OLED device, except that the second hole injection layer, the light emitting layer and the electron transporting layer.


Herein, the thickness of the second hole injection layer was 2100 Å. RH with a dopant RD (3.5 wt %) was deposited on the first or second hole transporting layer to form a light emitting layer having a thickness of 300 Å. The thickness of the electron transporting layer was 350 Å.

OLED Device Measurement


Device performances of the obtained blue, green and red OLED devices were measured by PR-650. For the blue and red OLED devices, the data were collected at 1000 nits. For the green OLED devices, the data were collected at 3000 nits. Data such as CIE, luminous efficiency (Eff.) and driving voltage (Voltage) are listed in the following Tables 8 to 10.
