Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2016-0081172 filed on Jun. 28, 2016 in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.

BACKGROUND
1. Field

One or more embodiments relate to a compound for an organic light-emitting device and an organic light-emitting device including the same.

2. Description of the Related Art

Organic light-emitting devices are self-emission devices, have wide viewing angles, high contrast ratios, short response times, and excellent brightness, driving voltage, and response speed characteristics compared to devices in the art. In addition, organic light-emitting devices produce full-color images.

An example of such organic light-emitting devices may include a first electrode disposed on a substrate, and a hole transport region, an emission layer, an electron transport region, and a second electrode, which are sequentially disposed on the first electrode. Holes provided from the first electrode may move toward the emission layer through the hole transport region, and electrons provided from the second electrode may move toward the emission layer through the electron transport region. Carriers, such as holes and electrons, recombine in the emission layer to produce excitons. These excitons transition from an excited state to a ground state, thereby generating light.

SUMMARY

One or more embodiments include a heterocyclic compound having a novel structure and an organic light-emitting device including the same.

Additional aspects will be set forth in part in the description which follows and, in part, will be apparent from the description, or may be learned by practice of the presented embodiments.

According to one or more embodiments, a heterocyclic compound is represented by Formula 1:

The heterocyclic compound represented by Formula 1 may have a heterocyclic core based on a pyrazole or an iso-oxazole. In particular, since the heterocyclic core has a bulky linker such as an arylene group, the heterocyclic compound represented by Formula 1 may improve internal quantum efficiency, and an electronic device (e.g., an organic light-emitting device) which includes the heterocyclic compound represented by Formula 1 may have high luminance and a long lifespan.

Also, the heterocyclic compound represented by Formula 1 (initially and above they say: the heterocyclic compound represented by Formula 1—please address others if desired) has relatively high charge (hole or electron) transport capability, and thus, it is possible to improve an exciton forming ratio in an emission layer in the organic light-emitting device including the heterocyclic compound represented by Formula 1. Thus, the organic light-emitting device may have a low driving voltage and high efficiency.

The synthesis methods of the heterocyclic compound represented by Formula 1 may be recognizable by one of ordinary skill in the art by referring to Examples provided below.

At least one of the heterocyclic compounds represented by Formula 1 may be used between a pair of electrodes of an organic light-emitting device. For example, the heterocyclic compound may be included in at least one of a hole transport region, an electron transport region, and an emission layer. In one or more embodiments, the heterocyclic compound represented by Formula 1 may be used as a material for a capping layer located outside a pair of electrodes of an organic light-emitting device.

Accordingly, provided is an organic light-emitting device including: a first electrode; a second electrode facing the first electrode; a second electrode; and an organic layer that is disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode and includes an emission layer, wherein the organic layer may include at least one of the heterocyclic compounds.

The expression “(an organic layer) includes at least one of the heterocyclic compounds” used herein may include a case in which “(an organic layer) includes identical heterocyclic compounds represented by Formula 1” and a case in which “(an organic layer) includes two or more different heterocyclic compounds represented by Formulae 1A to 1L.

In one or more embodiments, the first electrode may be an anode, the second electrode may be a cathode, the organic layer may include a hole transport region between the first electrode and the emission layer and an electron transport region between the emission layer and the second electrode, the hole transport region may include a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an emission auxiliary layer, an electron blocking layer, or any combination thereof, and the electron transport region may include a buffer layer, a hole blocking layer, an electron control layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, or any combination thereof.

The organic light-emitting device may further include a first capping layer disposed on a path where light generated from the emission layer is emitted to the outside through the first electrode, and a second capping layer disposed on a path where light generated from the emission layer is emitted to the outside through the second electrode, and at least one of the first capping layer and the second capping layer may include at least one of the heterocyclic compounds represented by Formula 1.

In one or more embodiments, the organic light-emitting device may have i) a structure in which the first electrode, the organic layer, the second electrode, and the second capping layer are sequentially stacked in this stated order, ii) a structure in which the first capping layer, the first electrode, the organic layer, and the second electrode are sequentially stacked in this stated order, or iii) a structure in which the first capping layer, the first electrode, the organic layer, the second electrode, and the second capping layer are sequentially stacked in this stated order, and the heterocyclic compound may be included in at least one of the first capping layer and the second capping layer.

The term “organic layer” as used herein refers to a single layer and/or a plurality of layers disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode in the organic light-emitting device. A material included in the “organic layer” is not limited to an organic material.

Example 1

An anode was prepared by cutting an ITO glass substrate (manufactured by Corning), on which an ITO layer was deposited to a thickness of 15 Ω/cm²(1,200 Å), to a size of 50 mm×50 mm×0.7 mm, ultrasonically cleaning the ITO glass substrate (anode) using isopropyl alcohol and pure water each for 5 minutes, and then, exposing the ITO glass substrate (anode) to irradiation of UV for 30 minutes and ozone to clean. Then, the glass substrate (anode) was loaded into a vacuum deposition apparatus.

2-TNATA was vacuum-deposited on the ITO glass substrate (anode) to form a hole injection layer having a thickness of 600 Å, and NPB was vacuum-deposited on the hole injection layer to form a hole transport layer having a thickness of 300 Å.

Compound 1-1 (host) and TPD (dopant) were co-deposited on the hole transport layer at a weight ratio of 98:2 to form an emission layer having a thickness of 300 Å.

Then, Alq₃was deposited on the emission layer to form an electron transport layer having a thickness of 300 Å, LiF was deposited on the electron transport layer to form an electron injection layer having a thickness of 10 Å, and Al was vacuum-deposited on the electron injection layer to form a cathode having a thickness of 3,000 Å, thereby completing the manufacture of an organic light-emitting device.

Examples 2 to 20 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6

Organic light-emitting devices of Examples 2 to 20 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6 were manufactured in the same manner as in Example 1, except that Compounds shown in Table 2 were each used in forming an emission layer.
