(Manufacture of Organic Light Emitting Diode)
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 3% NDP-9 (Novaled GmbH) was vacuum-deposited on the ITO substrate to form a 100 Å-thick hole injection layer, and Compound A is deposited on the hole injection layer to a thickness of 1,350 Å to form a hole transport layer. Compound B 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, Compound 33 obtained in Synthesis Example 1 was used as a host and 7 wt % of PhGD was used 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. On the electron transport layer, LiQ and Al were sequentially vacuum-deposited to be 15 Å-thick and 1,200 Å-thick, manufacturing an organic light emitting diode.
The structure was ITO/Compound A (3% NDP-9 doping, 100 Å)/Compound A (1,350 Å)/Compound B (350 Å)/EML [93 wt % of host (Compound 33): 7 wt % of PhGD] (400 Å)/Compound C (50 Å)/Compound D:LiQ (300 Å)/LiQ (15 Å) Al (1,200 Å).
