Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION(S)

The present disclosure claims priority to a Chinese patent application No. CN 202010524204.0, filed on Jun. 10, 2020 to the CNIPA, the contents of which are incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.


FIELD

The present disclosure belongs to the field of organic optoelectronic materials and, in particular, relates to a compound, and an organic light-emitting element, a display panel and a display device including the same.


BACKGROUND

Alq3 is used in traditional electroluminescent elements as an electron transport material. However, Alq3 has a relatively low electron mobility (of about 10−6 cm2/Vs), so that electron transport and hole transport of the elements are unbalanced. With the productization and practical applications of electroluminescent elements, it is desired to obtain electron transport materials with higher transport efficiency and better performance. Therefore, it is of important practical application values to design and develop stable and efficient electron transport materials and/or electron injection materials that can have both a high electron mobility and a high glass transition temperature.


At present, many electron transport materials commercially available, such as batho-phenanthroline (BPhen), bathocuproine (BCP) and TmPyPB, can generally satisfy the market demand for organic electroluminescent panels, but have a relatively low glass transition temperature Tg which is generally less than 85° C. When the elements are operating, generated Joule heat will cause molecular degradation and changes in molecular structure, resulting in low panel efficiency and poor thermal stability. Meanwhile, such symmetrical molecular structures are easy to crystallize after a long period of time. Once the electron transport materials crystallize, the intermolecular charge transition mechanism will differ from the mechanism in normally operated amorphous film, so that electron transport performance decreases, the electron mobility and hole mobility of the entire element are unbalanced, and excitons are formed with greatly reduced efficiency and are concentrated at the interface between the electron transport layer and the light-emitting layer, resulting in a serious decrease in element efficiency and lifetime.


The current researches on organic light-emitting elements are still in a development stage, and there are a few types of good electron transport materials. Therefore, more electron transport materials with better performance are to be developed.


SUMMARY

In view of defects in the related technics, the present disclosure aims to provide a compound, and an organic light-emitting element, a display panel and a display device including the same. The compound has a relatively deep LUMO energy level, a relatively deep HOMO energy level, a relatively high triplet energy level, a high electron mobility, a high Tg, and good thermal and chemical stability, is not easy to crystallize, and may be used in a light-emitting layer, an electron transport layer and/or a hole blocking layer of an organic light-emitting element, to reduce the turn-on voltage of the element and improve light-emitting efficiency and lifetime of the element.

compound 1









In Table 1, Eg=LUMO-HOMO.


As can be seen from Table 1, the compounds H2, H8, H15, H33, H37, H41 and H43 of the present disclosure, compared with the comparative compound 1, have deeper LUMO energy levels (<−1.70 eV), which helps the compounds of the present disclosure to match a material of an adjacent layer, and due to that the deeper the LUMO energy level, the easier electrons generated from a cathode are to be injected and transported, thus also helps to reduce the turn-on threshold and working voltage of an element and reduce power consumption of the element; have deeper HOMO energy levels (<−5.25) eV), which helps to block holes; and, have higher lowest triplet energy levels (>2.30 eV), which helps to block excitons, confine the excitons in a light-emitting layer, and improve light-emitting efficiency of the element.


The following are several examples of applications of the organic compounds of the present disclosure in OLED elements.


Application Example 1

This application example provides an OLED element, whose structure is shown in FIG. 1. The OLED element includes a substrate 1, an anode 2, a hole injection layer 3, a first hole transport layer 4, a second hole transport layer 5, a light-emitting layer 6, a hole blocking layer 7, an electron transport layer 8 and a cathode 9 which are stacked in sequence. The arrow in FIG. 1 represents the direction in which the element emits light.


The OLED element was prepared by specific steps described below.


(1) A glass substrate with an indium tin oxide (ITO) anode (having a thickness of 15 nm) was cut to give a size of 50 mm×50 mm×0.7 mm, sonicated in isopropyl alcohol and deionized water for 30 minutes separately, and cleaned under ozone for 10 minutes. The cleaned glass substrate was installed onto a vacuum deposition apparatus.


(2) A hole injection layer material Compound b and a P-doping material Compound a were co-deposited with a doping ratio of 3% (a mass ratio) and a thickness of 5 nm by means of vacuum evaporation on the ITO anode 2, to serve as a hole injection layer 3.


(3) A hole transport material Compound b was deposited with a thickness of 100 nm by means of vacuum evaporation on the hole injection layer 3, to serve as a first hole transport layer 4.


(4) A hole transport material Compound d was deposited with a thickness of 5 nm by means of vacuum evaporation on the first hole transport layer 4, to serve as a second hole transport layer 5.


(5) A light-emitting host material Compound e and a doping material Compound f were co-deposited with a doping ratio of 3% (a mass ratio) and a thickness of 30 nm by means of vacuum evaporation on the second hole transport layer 5, to serve as a light-emitting layer 6.


(6) Compound g was deposited with a thickness of 30 nm by means of vacuum evaporation on the light-emitting layer 6, to serve as a hole blocking layer 7.


(7) Compound H2 and an N-doping material Compound h were co-deposited with a doping ratio of 1:1 and a thickness of 5 nm by means of vacuum evaporation on the hole blocking layer 7, to serve as an electron transport layer 8.


(8) A magnesium-silver electrode with a Mg:Ag mass ratio of 1:9 and a thickness of 10 nm was deposited by means of vacuum evaporation on the electron transport layer 8, to serve as a cathode 9.

Performance evaluation of OLED elements


A Keithley 2365A digital nanovoltmeter was used for testing currents of the OLED elements at different voltages, and then the currents were divided by a light-emitting area to obtain current densities of the OLED elements at different voltages. A Konicaminolta CS-2000 spectroradiometer was used for testing the brightness and radiant energy flux densities of the OLED elements at different voltages. According to the current densities and brightness of the OLED elements at different voltages, a working voltage and current efficiency (cd/A) at the same current density (10 mA/cm2) were obtained, where Von was the turn-on voltage when the brightness was 1 cd/m2. Lifetime LT95 was obtained by measuring the time it took for the brightness of the OLED element to reach 95% of its initial brightness (under a testing condition of 500 mA/cm2). E/CIEy refers to a blue index in blue light and is also a parameter to measure blue light-emitting efficiency, where E refers to the current efficiency, and CIEy refers to an ordinate color point obtained by inputting the half-peak width of emission of the element into CIE1930 software. Test data is shown in Table 2.

As can be seen from Table 2, compared with Comparative Example 1, Application Examples 1 to 7 have lower working voltages, higher blue indexes (light-emitting efficiency), and longer lifetimes, which are increased by about 3.8%, 7.2% and 10%, respectively. This is mainly because the compounds of the present disclosure have deeper LUMO energy levels with smaller band gap differences between LUMO energy levels of materials in adjacent layers, which is advantageous for the effective injection and transport of electrons. Meanwhile, the improvement of the element lifetimes is also based on the fact that the compounds of the present disclosure have deeper LUMO energy levels and can be better complexed with an N-dopant.
