An organic electroluminescence device is a kind of self-emitting type display device, and has an advantage in that the viewing angle is wide, the contrast is excellent, and the response speed is fast.
An organic light emitting device has a structure in which an organic thin film is disposed between two electrodes. When a voltage is applied to an organic light emitting device having the structure, electrons and holes injected from the two electrodes combine with each other in an organic thin film to make a pair, and then, emit light while being extinguished. The organic thin film may be composed of a single layer or multiple layers, if necessary.
A material for the organic thin film may have a light emitting function, if necessary. For example, as the material for the organic thin film, it is also possible to use a compound, which may itself constitute a light emitting layer alone, or it is also possible to use a compound, which may serve as a host or a dopant of a host-dopant-based light emitting layer. In addition, as a material for the organic thin film, it is also possible to use a compound, which may perform a function such as hole injection, hole transport, electron blocking, hole blocking, electron transport or electron injection.
In order to improve the performance, service life, or efficiency of the organic light emitting device, there is a continuous need for developing a material for an organic thin film.
It is necessary to perform studies on an organic light emitting device including a compound having a chemical structure, which may satisfy conditions required for a material which is available for the organic light emitting device, for example, appropriate energy levels, electrochemical stability, thermal stability, and the like, and may perform various functions required for the organic light emitting device according to the substituent.

1) Manufacture of Organic Light Emitting Device
Trichloroethylene, acetone, ethanol, and distilled water were each sequentially used to ultrasonically wash a transparent electrode indium tin oxide (ITO) thin film obtained from glass for OLED (manufactured by Samsung-Corning Co., Ltd.) for 5 minutes, and then the ITO thin film was placed in isopropanol, stored, and then used. Next, the ITO substrate was disposed in a substrate folder of a vacuum deposition apparatus, and the following
4,4′,4″-tris(N,N-(2-naphthyl)-phenylamino)triphenyl amine (2-TNATA) was placed in a cell in the vacuum deposition apparatus.
Subsequently, air in the chamber was evacuated until the degree of vacuum in the chamber reached 10-6 torr, and then a hole injection layer having a thickness of 600 A was deposited on the ITO substrate by applying current to the cell to evaporate 2-TNATA. A hole transport layer having a thickness of 300 A was deposited on the hole injection layer by placing the following N,N′-bis(α-naphthyl)-N,N′-diphenyl-4,4′-diamine (NPB) in another cell in the vacuum deposition apparatus and applying current to the cell to evaporate NPB.
The hole injection layer and the hole transport layer were formed as described above, and then a blue light emitting material having the following structure as a light emitting layer was deposited thereon. Specifically, a blue light emitting host material H1 was vacuum deposited to have a thickness of 200 Å on one cell in the vacuum deposition apparatus, and a blue light emitting dopant material D1 was vacuum deposited thereon in an amount of 5% based on the host material.
Subsequently, a compound having the following structural formula E1 as an electron transport layer was deposited to have a thickness of 300 A.
An OLED device was manufactured by depositing lithium fluoride (LiF) as an electron injection layer to have a thickness of 10 A and allowing the Al negative electrode to have a thickness of 1,000 A. Meanwhile, all the organic compounds required for manufacturing an OLED device were subjected to vacuum sublimed purification under 10−6 to 10−8 torr for each material, and used for the manufacture of OLED. An organic electroluminescence device was manufactured in the same manner as in Experimental Example 1, except that the compound in the following Table 4 was used instead of NPB used when a hole transport layer was formed in Experimental Example 1.
The results of measuring the driving voltage, light emitting efficiency, color coordinate (CIE) and service life of the blue organic light emitting device manufactured according to the present invention are shown in the following Table 4.
As can be seen from the results in Table 4, the organic light emitting device using a hole transport layer material of the blue organic light emitting device of the present invention has a low driving voltage and remarkably improved light emitting efficiency and service life compared to Comparative Examples 1 to 5.
Comparing the comparative examples in Table 4 with the compounds of the present invention, they are similar in having an arylamine group, but differ in that the fluorene group is substituted. A fluorene group with a substituent attached suppresses the pi-pi stacking of aromatic rings, and thus has a characteristic of preventing the device characteristics from deteriorating because the driving voltage of the organic light emitting device is increased. Therefore, it can be seen that the compound of the present invention using these derivatives enhances hole transport characteristics or stability to bring excellence in terms of all the aspects in driving, efficiency, and service life.
1) Manufacture of Organic Light Emitting Device
Trichloroethylene, acetone, ethanol, and distilled water were each sequentially used to ultrasonically wash a transparent electrode indium tin oxide (ITO) thin film obtained from glass for OLED (manufactured by Samsung-Corning Co., Ltd.) for 5 minutes, and then the ITO thin film was placed in isopropanol, stored, and then used.

A hole transport layer having a thickness of 300 A was deposited on the hole injection layer by placing the following N,N′-bis(α-naphthyl)-N,N′-diphenyl-4,4′-diamine (NPB) in another cell in the vacuum deposition apparatus and applying current to the cell to evaporate NPB.
The hole injection layer and the hole transport layer were formed as described above, and then a blue light emitting material having the following structure as a light emitting layer was deposited thereon. Specifically, a blue light emitting host material H1 was vacuum deposited to have a thickness of 200 Å on one cell in the vacuum deposition apparatus, and a blue light emitting dopant material D1 was vacuum deposited thereon in an amount of 5% based on the host material.
Subsequently, a compound having the following structural formula E1 as an electron transport layer was deposited to have a thickness of 300 A.
An OLED device was manufactured by depositing lithium fluoride (LiF) as an electron injection layer to have a thickness of 10 A and allowing the Al negative electrode to have a thickness of 1,000 A. Meanwhile, all the organic compounds required for manufacturing an OLED device were subjected to vacuum sublimed purification under 10−6 to 10−8 torr for each material, and used for the manufacture of OLED. An organic electroluminescence device was manufactured in the same manner as in Example 2, except that a hole transport layer NPB was formed to have a thickness of 250 A, and then an electron blocking layer was formed to have a thickness of 50 A from the compound denoted in the following Table 5 on the upper portion of the hole transport layer in Example 2. The results of measuring the driving voltage, light emitting efficiency, color coordinate (CIE) and service life of the blue organic light emitting device manufactured according to the present invention are shown in the following Table 5.
As can be seen from the results in Table 5, the organic light emitting device using an electron blocking layer material of the blue organic light emitting device of the present invention has a low driving voltage and remarkably improved light emitting efficiency and service life compared to the Comparative Examples. When the electrons are not combined in the light emitting layer and pass through the hole transport layer and go to the positive electrode, there occurs a phenomenon in which the efficiency and service life of the OLED device are reduced.
When a compound with a high LUMO level is used as an electron blocking layer to prevent such a phenomenon, electrons trying to pass through the light emitting layer to the positive electrode are blocked by the energy barrier of the electron blocking layer. Therefore, it could be seen that the probability of holes and electrons forming excitons is increased, and the excitons are highly likely to be emitted from the light-emitting layer as light, and thus the compounds of the present invention brought excellence in terms of all the aspects in driving, efficiency, and service life.
In particular, for the compound of Chemical Formula 1 of the present invention, it could be confirmed that when an amine derivative was used as a hole transport layer, the unshared electron pair of amine could enhance the flow of holes and improve the hole transfer capacity of the hole transport layer, and when the amine derivative was used as an electron blocking layer, the deterioration of the hole transport material caused by electrons penetrating into the hole transport layer could be suppressed, and the binding of the amine moiety to the substituent with enhanced hole characteristics also enhanced the planarity and glass transition temperature of the amine derivative to enhance the thermal stability of the compound.
Furthermore, since the bandgap and T1 values are adjusted to improve the hole transfer capacity and improve the stability of the molecule, it could be confirmed that the driving voltage of the device was lowered, the light efficiency of the device was improved, and service life characteristics of the device were improved by the thermal stability of the compound.
