20190233398
The present application claims priority to and the benefits of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2016-0085746, filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on Jul. 6, 2016, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The present application relates to a hetero-cyclic compound and an organic light emitting device using 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 may be used alone, 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, lifespan or efficiency of an organic light emitting device.

1) Manufacture of Organic Light Emitting Device
A transparent electrode ITO thin film obtained from glass for an OLED (manufactured by Samsung Corning Advanced Glass) was ultrasonic cleaned consecutively using trichloroethylene, acetone, ethanol and distilled water for 5 minutes each, placed in isopropanol and stored, and then used.
Next, the ITO substrate was installed in a substrate folder of vacuum deposition equipment, and the following 4,4′,4″-tris(N,N-(2-naphthyl)-phenylamino)triphenyl amine (2-TNATA) was introduced to a cell in the vacuum deposition equipment.
Subsequently, the chamber was exhausted until the degree of vacuum inside the chamber reached 10−6 torr, and then a current was applied to the cell to evaporate the 2-TNATA to deposit a hole injection layer having a thickness of 600 Å on the ITO substrate.
The following N,N′-bis(α-naphthyl)-N,N′-diphenyl-4,4′-diamine (NPB) was introduced to a different cell in the vacuum deposition equipment, a current was applied to the cell to evaporate 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 follows was deposited thereon as a light emitting layer. Specifically, H1, a blue light emitting host material, was vacuum deposited to a thickness of 200 Å on one cell in the vacuum deposition equipment, and D1, a blue light emitting dopant material, was vacuum deposited thereon in 5% with respect to the host material.
Subsequently, compounds of the following structural formulae E1, N-ADN2, N-ADN5, N-AN9 and N-AN11 were 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 Al cathode was formed to a thickness of 1000 Å to manufacture an OLED device.
Meanwhile, all the organic compounds required to manufacture the OLED device were vacuum sublimation purified under 10−6 torr to 10−8 torr by each material to be used in the OLED manufacture.
2) Driving Voltage and Light Emission Efficiency of Organic Electroluminescent Device
For the organic electroluminescent devices manufactured as above, electroluminescent light emission (EL) characteristics were measured using M7000 manufactured by McScience Inc., and with the measurement results, Tss when standard luminance was 700 cd/m2 was measured using a lifetime test system (M6000) manufactured by McScience Inc. Results of measuring a driving voltage, light emission efficiency, external quantum efficiency and a color coordinate (CIE) of the white organic electroluminescent devices manufactured according to the present disclosure are as shown in Table 11.
As shown from the results of Table 11, the organic electroluminescent devices using the electron transfer layer material of the blue organic electroluminescent device of the present disclosure had a low driving voltage and significantly improved light emission efficiency and lifespan compared to Comparative Examples 3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 3-4 and 3-5. Particularly, it was identified that Compounds 3, 5, 7, 41, 45, 46, 91, 93, 138, 142, 147, 148, 164, 192, 193 and 203 were significantly excellent in all of driving, efficiency and lifespan.
The presumed reason for such results is that, when the invented compound having proper length, strength and flat property is used as an electron transfer layer, a compound in an excited state is produced by receiving electrons under a specific condition, and particularly, when the excited state is formed in the heteroskeleton site of the compound, excited energy moves to a stable state before the excited heteroskeleton site goes through a different reaction, and the relatively stabilized compound is capable of efficiently transferring electrons without compound decomposition or destruction. As a reference, it is considered that those having a stable state when excited are aryl or acene series compounds or multicyclic hetero-compounds. Accordingly, it is considered that the compound of the present disclosure enhances electron-transport properties or improved stability resulting in excellency in all of driving, efficiency and lifespan.
