BACKGROUND
1. Field

Embodiments relate to a compound for an organic optoelectronic device, a composition for an organic optoelectronic device, an organic optoelectronic device, and a display device.


2. Description of the Related Art

An organic optoelectronic device (e.g., an organic optoelectronic diode) is a device capable of converting electrical energy and optical energy to each other.


An organic optoelectronic device may be classified as follows in accordance with its driving principles. One is a photoelectric device that generates electrical energy by separating excitons formed by light energy into electrons and holes, and transferring the electrons and holes to different electrodes, respectively and the other is light emitting device that generates light energy from electrical energy by supplying voltage or current to the electrodes.


Examples of the organic optoelectronic device may include an organic photoelectric element, an organic light emitting diode, an organic solar cell, and an organic photo conductor drum.


Of these, an organic light emitting diode (OLED) has recently drawn attention due to an increase in demand for flat panel displays. The organic light emitting diode is a device that converts electrical energy into light, and the performance of the organic light emitting diode is greatly influenced by an organic material between electrodes.

In an implementation, one or more of the following conditions of Chemical Formula 1 may be met:


at least one of Ra and R1 to R18 may be deuterium;


at least one of Ra and R1 to R18 may be a C1 to C30 alkyl group substituted with at least one deuterium, or a C6 to C30 aryl group substituted with at least one deuterium;

The compound substituted with deuterium, compared with a compound only including hydrogen, may have lower ground state energy due to lower zero-point energy and lower vibration energy and reduced intermolecular interaction and thus make a thin film into an amorphous state, further improving heat resistance and effectively improving a life-span of an organic light emitting diode manufactured by applying the same. Accordingly, a driving voltage of the organic light emitting diode may be effectively lowered by greatly improving the life-span through the deuterium substitution and also, improving hole injection and transport characteristics through a structure in which carbazole is directly bonded on a nitrogen atom of a biscarbazole moiety.


In an implementation, Chemical Formula 1 may be represented by, e.g., one of Chemical Formula 1-I to Chemical Formula 1-IV.

Example 1

A glass substrate coated with ITO (indium tin oxide) was ultrasonically washed with distilled water. After washing with the distilled water, the glass substrate was ultrasonically washed with isopropyl alcohol, acetone, or methanol, and dried and then, moved to a plasma cleaner, cleaned by using oxygen plasma for 10 minutes, and moved to a vacuum depositor. This prepared ITO transparent electrode was used as an anode, Compound A doped with 1% NDP-9 (Novaled GmbH) was vacuum-deposited on the ITO substrate to form a 100 Å-thick hole injection layer, and Compound A was deposited on the hole injection layer to a thickness of 1,350 Å to form a hole transport layer. Compound 1-32 of Synthesis Example 1 was deposited on the hole transport layer to a thickness of 350 Å to form a hole transport auxiliary layer. On the hole transport auxiliary layer, a mixture of Compound 2-69 obtained in Synthesis Example 5 and Compound 3 obtained in Synthesis Example 6 in a weight ratio of 3:7 was used as a host, and was doped with 10 wt % of PhGD as a dopant to form a 400 Å-thick light emitting layer by vacuum deposition. Subsequently, Compound C was deposited to form a 50 Å-thick electron transport auxiliary layer on the light emitting layer, and Compound D and LiQ were simultaneously vacuum-deposited in a weight ratio of 1:1 to form a 300 Å-thick electron transport layer.

(1) Measurement of Current Density Change Depending on Voltage Change


The obtained organic light emitting diodes were measured regarding a current value flowing in the unit device, while increasing the voltage from 0 V to 10 V using a current-voltage meter (Keithley 2400), and the measured current value is divided by area to provide the results.


(2) Measurement of Luminance Change Depending on Voltage Change


Luminance was measured by using a luminance meter (Minolta Cs-1000A), while the voltage of the organic light emitting diodes was increased from 0 V to 10 V.


(3) Measurement of Current Efficiency


Current efficiency (cd/A) at the same current density (10 mA/cm2) is calculated by using the luminance and current density from the items (1) and (2) and voltages.


(4) Driving Voltage


A driving voltage of each diode was measured by using a current-voltage meter (Keithley 2400) at 15 mA/cm2.


(5) Power Efficiency


The power efficiency value was calculated from Equation 1, and the relative values based on the power efficiency of Comparative Example 1 were calculated and shown in Table 1.





Power efficiency (lm/W)=[Current efficiency (cd/A)/Driving voltage (V)]*Π  [Equation 1]


(Π means the ratio of circumference)
