This application claims priority to and the benefits of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2019-0167113, filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on Dec. 13, 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 comprising the same.
An organic 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 transport, electron blocking, hole blocking, electron transport, 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.
Studies on an organic light emitting device comprising a compound capable of satisfying conditions required for materials usable in an organic light emitting device, for example, satisfying proper energy level, electrochemical stability, thermal stability and the like, and having a chemical structure capable of performing various roles required in an organic light emitting device depending on substituents have been required.

Hereinafter, the present application will be described in detail.
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, 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.

1H NMR (CDCl3, 200 Mz)
1) Manufacture of Organic Light Emitting Device
A glass substrate on which indium tin oxide (ITO) was coated as a thin film to a thickness of 1,500 Å was cleaned with distilled water ultrasonic waves. After the cleaning with distilled water was finished, the substrate was ultrasonic cleaned with solvents such as acetone, methanol and isopropyl alcohol, then dried, and UVO treatment was conducted for 5 minutes using UV in a UV cleaner. After that, the substrate was transferred to a plasma cleaner (PT), and after conducting plasma treatment under vacuum for ITO work function and residual film removal, the substrate was transferred to a thermal deposition apparatus for organic deposition.
On the transparent ITO electrode (anode), a hole injection layer 2-TNATA (4,4′4″-tris[2-naphthyl(phenyl)amino]triphenylamine) and a hole transport layer NPB (N,N′-di(1-naphthyl)-N,N′-diphenyl-(1,1′-biphenyl)-4,4′-diamine), which are common layers, were formed.
A light emitting layer was thermal vacuum deposited thereon as follows. The light emitting layer was deposited to 400 Å using a compound described in the following Table 5 as a host and Ir(ppy)3 (tris(2-phenylpyridine)iridium) as a green phosphorescent dopant by doping the Ir(ppy)3 to the host by 7%. After that, BCP was deposited to 60 Å as a hole blocking layer, and Alq3 was deposited to 200 Å thereon as an electron transport layer.
Lastly, an electron injection layer was formed on the electron transport layer by depositing lithium fluoride (LiF) to a thickness of 10 Å, and then a cathode was formed on the electron injection layer by depositing an aluminum (Al) cathode to a thickness of 1,200 Å, and as a result, an organic electroluminescent device was manufactured.
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.
2) Driving Voltage and Light Emission Efficiency of Organic Electroluminescent Device
For each of the organic electroluminescent devices manufactured as above, electroluminescent (EL) properties were measured using M7000 manufactured by McScience Inc., and with the measurement results, T90 was measured when standard luminance was 6,000 cd/m2 through a lifetime measurement system (M6000) manufactured by McScience Inc. Properties of the organic electroluminescent devices of the present disclosure are as shown in Table 5.
As seen from Table 5, it was identified that, by the heterocyclic compound according to the present application having a specific substituent at No. 1 and No. 3 positions of one side benzene ring of the dibenzofuran and having a carbazole-based substituent on the other side benzene ring, an organic light emitting device comprising the same had properties of excellent lifetime and efficiency.
The compound according to the present application is a tri-substituted compound in which the carbazole-based substituent substituting one side benzene ring of the dibenzofuran is a substituent having hole transport characteristics (hole transport character moiety), N-Het substituting a No. 1 position of the other side benzene ring of the dibenzofuran is a substituent having electron transport characteristics (electron transport character moiety), and in addition, an Ar substituent is included at the No. 3 position. In other words, it was identified that, when Ar was not substituted, the No. 3 position of the dibenzofuran was relatively electron deficient, and by forming an Ar substituent such as Chemical Formula 1 of the present application at a No. 3 position of the dibenzofuran, electrons became abundant increasing structural stability, and as a result, the organic light emitting device comprising the same had properties of enhancing lifetime and current flow.
As seen from Table 5, Comparative Examples 1 to 6 are cases comprising a heterocyclic compound in which at least one of carbazole-based substituent/Ar/N-Het is not provided in the dibenzofuran, and it was identified that the molecular weight herein was smaller than the molecular weight of the compound having three types of substituents bonding to the dibenzofuran leading to a smaller Td (95%) value, and as a result, the lifetime was not favorable due to relatively decreased thermal stability.
Particularly, oxygen of the dibenzofuran has greater electronegativity compared to carbon, and tends to attract electrons of adjacent carbons, and due to such properties, a No. 4 position of the dibenzofuran is relatively electron deficient compared to other positions. Accordingly, it was identified that a much more stable compound in terms of material structure was obtained when bonding the carbazole-based substituent to the No. 4 position, a relatively electron deficient position, compared to when bonding to the No. 1 or No. 2 position of the dibenzofuran.
In addition, Chemical Formula 1 of the present application has N-Het substituting a No. 1 position of the benzene ring. Dibenzofuran has different electron density by each position due to resonance, and the No. 1 position of the dibenzofuran is positively charged compared to the No. 2 and No. 4 positions due to resonance. Accordingly, it was identified that a more stable compound in terms of material structure was obtained when boding N-Het having an electron transport ability to the No. 1 position that is relatively positively charged in the dibenzofuran.
In addition, the N-carbazole substituting the dibenzofuran as in Chemical Formula 1 of the present application is capable of directly transferring lone pair electrons that the nitrogen has to the dibenzofuran core due to resonance. Accordingly, it was identified that an excellent electron transport ability was obtained when having an N-carbazole substituent compared to when having a carbazole substituent substituted with a phenyl group (linking to carbon of carbazole) (Comparative Examples 4 and 6 to 9).
Thermal dissociation temperature (Td) values for the compounds were compared and shown in the following Table 6. The Td (95%) values measured using a thermogravimetric analyzer are as shown in the following Table 6.
As seen from Table 6, it was identified that the heterocyclic compound of Chemical Formula 1 according to the present application had a higher Td value by approximately 40° C. compared to the compounds of Comparative Example 1-1 and Comparative Example 2-1. This indicates that the tri-substituted compound in which the carbazole-based substituent substituting one side benzene ring of the dibenzofuran is a substituent having hole transport characteristics (hole transport character moiety), N-Het substituting a No. 1 position of the other side benzene ring of the dibenzofuran is a substituent having electron transport characteristics (electron transport character moiety), and in addition, an Ar substituent is included at the No. 3 position has particularly superior thermal stability compared to the disubstituted compounds (Comparative Example 1-1 and Comparative Example 2-1).
Particularly, Examples 1 to 72 of Table 6 are cases corresponding to Chemical Formulae 2 and 3 according to the present application, and tend to have a Td (95%) value higher by approximately 10° C. to 40° C. compared to other cases (Examples 1-1 to 6-1), and properties of particularly superior thermal stability is obtained. In other words, it was identified that, as the No. 3 or No. 4 position is substituted with a carbazole-based substituent and two substituents were formed at No. 1 and No. 3 positions of the opposite side benzene ring in Chemical Formulae 2 and 3, the molecular weight increased, and stability of the structure itself increased.
