BACKGROUND

In general, organic light emission refers to a phenomenon in which electrical energy is converted into light energy using an organic material. An organic light emitting device using the phenomenon of organic light emission generally has a structure including an anode, a cathode and an organic material layer interposed therebetween. Here, the organic material layer generally has a structure including a plurality of layers composed of different materials in order to improve efficiency and stability of the organic light emitting device and may, for example, include a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light emitting layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer and the like. In such a structure of the organic light emitting device, when a voltage is applied between two electrodes, holes and electrons are injected into the organic material layer from the anode and the cathode, respectively, and the injected holes and electrons are combined to form excitons. When the excitons fall to the ground state again, light is emitted.


There is a continuous need for development of novel materials for the aforementioned organic light emitting device.

EXAMPLES
Example 1

A glass substrate (Corning 7059 glass) coated with ITO (indium tin oxide) to a thin thickness of 1,000 Å was washed by ultrasonication with distilled water in which a detergent was dissolved. The detergent used herein was a product commercially available from Fischer Co. and the distilled water used herein was distilled water secondarily filtered through a filter commercially available from Millipore Co. ITO was washed for 30 minutes and was then ultrasonically washed with distilled water repeatedly twice for 10 minutes. After washing with distilled water, ultrasonic washing was conducted with isopropyl alcohol, acetone and methanol solvents in this order and then drying was conducted.


Hexanitrile hexaazatriphenylene was subjected to thermal vacuum deposition to a thickness of 500 Å on the ITO transparent electrode thus prepared, to form a hole injection layer. The following HT1 (400 Å) as a hole-transporting material was vacuum-deposited on the hole injection layer and the following HI (host) and the following D1 (dopant) as materials for a light emitting layer were vacuum-deposited to a thickness of 300 Å in a weight ratio of 95:5. Compound 1 prepared in Preparation Example 1 and LiQ were vacuum-deposited on the light emitting layer in a weight ratio of 7:3 to 3:7, to form an electron injection and transport layer with a thickness of 350 Å. Lithium fluoride (LiF) and aluminum were sequentially deposited to thicknesses of 12 Å and 2,000 Å, respectively, on the electron injection and transport layer, to form a cathode and thereby manufacture an organic light emitting device.


During the process, the deposition rate of organic materials was maintained at 0.4 to 0.7 Å/sec, the lithium fluoride of the cathode was maintained at a deposition rate of 0.3 Å/sec, aluminum was maintained at a deposition rate of 2 Å/sec, and the vacuum level during deposition was maintained at 2×10−7 to 5×10−6 torr, to manufacture the organic light emitting device. The compounds used for the process are given below.

Example 5









As can be seen from Table 1, the compounds of Examples 1 to 18 using the compound of Chemical Formula 1 according to the present invention for electron injection and control layers of organic light emitting devices exhibited low driving voltage, high 5 efficiency and long lifetime characteristics, as compared to the compounds of Comparative Examples 1 to 5.


In particular, it can be seen that, as compared to the case in which a heteroaryl group and an aryl-CN group are symmetrically bonded to two sides of the fluorene group, Comparative Examples 1 and 2 exhibited bad J-V characteristics, high (off) voltage, low efficiency and short lifetime. In addition, it can be seen that Comparative Example 3 not having a —CN group exhibited considerably short lifetime, as compared to the compound having the structure of Chemical Formula 1 having a —CN group. In addition, it can be seen that the compound, in which the heteroaryl group linked to one side of the fluorene group is a hetero group excluding triazine and pyrimidine, exhibited high driving voltage and low efficiency, as compared to the compound having the structure of Chemical Formula 1 according to the present invention. Finally, it can be seen that materials substituted by two or more —CN groups exhibited considerably high driving voltage and low efficiency, as compared to the compound having the structure of Chemical Formula 1.
