This application claims priority to and the benefits of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2019-0102562, filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on Aug. 21, 2019, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The present specification relates to a heterocyclic compound, and an organic light emitting device including the same.
An electroluminescent device is one type of self-emissive display devices, and has an advantage of having a wide viewing angle, and a high response speed as well as having an excellent contrast.
An organic light emitting device has a structure disposing an organic thin film between two electrodes. When a voltage is applied to an organic light emitting device having such a structure, electrons and holes injected from the two electrodes bind and pair in the organic thin film, and light emits as these annihilate. The organic thin film may be formed in a single layer or a multilayer as necessary.
A material of the organic thin film may have a light emitting function as necessary. For example, as a material of the organic thin film, compounds capable of forming a light emitting layer themselves alone may be used, or compounds capable of performing a role of a host or a dopant of a host-dopant-based light emitting layer may also be used. In addition thereto, compounds capable of performing roles of hole injection, hole transfer, electron blocking, hole blocking, electron transfer, electron injection and the like may also be used as a material of the organic thin film.
Development of an organic thin film material has been continuously required for enhancing performance, lifetime or efficiency of an organic light emitting device.
The present disclosure is directed to providing a heterocyclic compound, and an organic light emitting device comprising the same.

A compound described in the present specification can be used as a material of an organic material layer of an organic light emitting device. The compound is capable of performing a role of a hole injection material, a hole transfer material, a hole blocking material, a light emitting material, an electron transfer material, an electron injection material, a charge generation material or the like in an organic light emitting device. Particularly, the compound can be used as an electron transfer layer material, a hole blocking layer material or a charge generation layer material of an organic light emitting device.
When using the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 in an organic material layer, a driving voltage of a device can be lowered, light efficiency can be enhanced, and lifetime properties of the device can be enhanced by thermal stability of the compound.
The compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 has a core form in which a quinoline group and an indole group are fused to a pyrrole group or thiophene group structure, and by adding a more electron-friendly heteroatom to the central skeleton of the core structure, a charge balance is enhanced in a light emitting layer through enhancing an electron transfer ability, and as a result, driving, lifetime and efficiency of a device are improved.
Hereinafter, the present application will be described in detail.
In the present specification, a description of a certain part “including” certain constituents means capable of further comprising other constituents, and does not exclude other constituents unless particularly stated on the contrary.
In the present specification, a T1 value means an energy level value in a triplet state.
In the present specification, a term “substitution” means a hydrogen atom bonding to a carbon atom of a compound being changed to another substituent, and the position of substitution is not limited as long as it is a position at which the hydrogen atom is substituted, that is, a position at which a substituent is capable of substituting, and when two or more substituents substitute, the two or more substituents may be the same as or different from each other.
In the present specification, “substituted or unsubstituted” means being substituted with one or more substituents selected from the group consisting of C1 to C60 linear or branched alkyl; C2 to C60 linear or branched alkenyl; C2 to C60 linear or branched alkynyl; C3 to C60 monocyclic or polycyclic cycloalkyl; C2 to C60 monocyclic or polycyclic heterocycloalkyl; C6 to C60 monocyclic or polycyclic aryl; C2 to C60 monocyclic or polycyclic heteroaryl; —SiRR′R″; —P(═O)RR′; C1 to C20 alkylamine; C6 to C60 monocyclic or polycyclic arylamine; and C2 to C60 monocyclic or polycyclic heteroarylamine, or being unsubstituted, or being substituted with a substituent linking two or more substituents selected from among the substituents illustrated above, or being unsubstituted.
In the present specification, a “case of a substituent being not indicated in a chemical formula or compound structure” means that a hydrogen atom bonds to a carbon atom. However, since deuterium (2H) is an isotope of hydrogen, some hydrogen atoms may be deuterium.
In one embodiment of the present application, a “case of a substituent being not indicated in a chemical formula or compound structure” may mean that positions that may come as a substituent may all be hydrogen or deuterium. In other words, since deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen, some hydrogen atoms may be deuterium that is an isotope, and herein, a content of the deuterium may be from 0% to 100%.
In one embodiment of the present application, in a “case of a substituent being not indicated in a chemical formula or compound structure”, hydrogen and deuterium may be mixed in compounds when deuterium is not explicitly excluded such as a deuterium content being 0% or a hydrogen content being 100%. In other words, an expression of “substituent X is hydrogen” does not exclude deuterium unlike a hydrogen content being 100% or a deuterium content being 0%, and therefore, may mean a state in which hydrogen and deuterium are mixed.
In one embodiment of the present application, deuterium is one of isotopes of hydrogen, is an element having deuteron formed with one proton and one neutron as a nucleus, and may be expressed as hydrogen-2, and the elemental symbol may also be written as D or 2H.
In one embodiment of the present application, an isotope means an atom with the same atomic number (Z) but with a different mass number (A), and may also be interpreted as an element with the same number of protons but with a different number of neutrons.
In one embodiment of the present application, a meaning of a content T % of a specific substituent may be defined as T2/T1×100=T % when the total number of substituents that a basic compound may have is defined as T1, and the number of specific substituents among these is defined as T2.
In other words, in one example, having a deuterium content of 20% in a phenyl group represented by
means that the total number of substituents that the phenyl group may have is 5 (T1 in the formula) and the number of deuterium among these is 1 (T2 in the formula). In other words, having a deuterium content of 20% in a phenyl group may be represented by the following structural formulae.

1) Manufacture of Organic Light Emitting Device
A transparent indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode thin film obtained from glass for an OLED (manufactured by Samsung-Corning Co., Ltd.) was ultrasonic cleaned using trichloroethylene, acetone, ethanol and distilled water consecutively for 5 minutes each, stored in isopropanol, and used.
Next, the ITO substrate was installed in a substrate folder of a vacuum deposition apparatus, and the following 4,4′, 4″-tris(N,N-(2-naphthyl)-phenylamino)triphenylamine (2-TNATA) was introduced to a cell in the vacuum deposition apparatus.
Subsequently, the chamber was evacuated until the degree of vacuum therein reached 10−6 torr, and then 2-TNATA was evaporated by applying a current to the cell to deposit a hole injection layer having a thickness of 600 Å on the ITO substrate.
To another cell in the vacuum deposition apparatus, the following N,N′-bis(α-naphthyl) —N,N′-diphenyl-4, 4′-diamine (NPB) was introduced, and evaporated by applying a current to the cell to deposit a hole transfer layer having a thickness of 300 Å on the hole injection layer.
After forming the hole injection layer and the hole transfer layer as above, a blue light emitting material having a structure as below was deposited thereon as a light emitting layer. Specifically, in one side cell in the vacuum deposition apparatus, H1, a blue light emitting host material, was vacuum deposited to a thickness of 200 Å, and D1, a blue light emitting dopant material, was vacuum deposited thereon by 5% with respect to the host material.
Subsequently, a compound shown in the following Table 7 was deposited to a thickness of 300 Å as an electron transfer layer.
As an electron injection layer, lithium fluoride (LiF) was deposited to a thickness of 10 Å, and an A1 cathode was employed to a thickness of 1,000 Å, and as a result, an OLED was manufactured.
Meanwhile, all the organic compounds required to manufacture the OLED were vacuum sublimation purified under 10−8 torr to 10−6 torr by each material to be used in the OLED manufacture.
Results of measuring driving voltage, light emission efficiency, color coordinate (CIE) and lifetime of the blue organic light emitting devices manufactured according to the present disclosure are as shown in the following Table 7.
As seen from the results of Table 7, the organic light emitting device using the electron transfer layer material of the blue organic light emitting device of the present disclosure had lower driving voltage, and improved light emission efficiency and lifetime compared to Comparative Examples 1-1 to 1-3. Particularly, it was identified that Compounds 001, 011, 031, 041, 069, 082, 137 and 175 were superior in all aspects of driving, efficiency and lifetime.
Such a result is considered to be due to the fact that, when using the disclosed compound having proper length and strength, and flatness as the electron transfer layer, a compound in an excited state is made by receiving electrons under a specific condition, and particularly when an excited state is formed in the hetero-skeleton site of the compound, excited energy will move to a stable state before the excited hetero-skeleton site goes through other reactions, and as a result, the relatively stabilized compound is capable of efficiently transferring electrons without the compound being decomposed or destroyed. For reference, those that are stable when excited are aryl or acene-based compounds or polycyclic hetero-compounds. When compared with Comparative Examples 1-2 and 1-3, Compounds E2 and E3 have a naphthalene ring formed in the basic skeleton, whereas the compound of the present disclosure has a quinoline-type ring formed therein instead of a naphthalene ring, which was identified to enhance electron mobility and thereby enhance a charge balance in the light emitting layer, and resultantly improve all of driving, lifetime and efficiency. In conclusion, it is considered that the compound of the present disclosure brings superiority in all aspects of driving, efficiency and lifetime by enhancing enhanced electron-transfer properties or improved stability.

Meanwhile, all the organic compounds required to manufacture the OLED were vacuum sublimation purified under 10−8 torr to 10−6 torr for each material to be used in the OLED manufacture.
Results of measuring driving voltage, light emission efficiency, color coordinate (CIE) and lifetime of the white organic light emitting devices manufactured according to the present disclosure are as shown in the following Table 9.
As seen from the results of Table 9, it was identified that the organic electroluminescent device using the charge generation layer material of the 2-stack white organic electroluminescent device of the present disclosure had lower driving voltage and improved light emission efficiency compared to Comparative Example 3. Such a result is considered to be due to the fact that the compound of the present disclosure used as an N-type charge generation layer formed with the disclosed skeleton having proper length and strength, and flatness and a proper hetero-compound capable of binding to metals forms a gap state in the N-type charge generation layer by doping an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal thereto, and electrons produced from a P-type charge generation layer are readily injected into the electron transfer layer through the gap state produced in the N-type charge generation layer. Accordingly, it is considered that the P-type charge generation layer may favorably inject and transfer electrons to the N-type charge generation layer, and as a result, driving voltage was lowered, and efficiency and lifetime were improved in the organic light emitting device.
