CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims the priority of the Korean Patent Applications NO 10-2019-0091889 filed on Jul. 29, 2019 in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention

The present disclosure relates to an organic light emitting diode comprising a boron compound and, more particularly, to an organic light-emitting diode comprising a boron compound as a dopant material in a light emitting layer thereof, thereby achieving the diode properties of high luminance efficiency and a long life span.


2. Description of the Prior Art

Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), based on self-luminescence, are used to create digital displays with the advantage of having a wide viewing angle and being able to be made thinner and lighter than liquid crystal displays. In addition, an OLED display exhibits a very fast response time. Accordingly, OLEDs find applications in the full color display field or the illumination field.


In general, the term “organic light-emitting phenomenon” refers to a phenomenon in which electrical energy is converted to light energy by means of an organic material. An organic light-emitting diode using the organic light-emitting phenomenon has a structure usually including an anode, a cathode, and an organic material layer interposed therebetween. In this regard, the organic material layer may have, for the most part, a multilayer structure consisting of different materials, for example, a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light-emitting layer, an electron transport layer, and an electron injection layer in order to enhance the efficiency and stability of the organic light-emitting diode. In the organic light-emitting diode having such a structure, application of a voltage between the two electrodes injects a hole from the anode and an electron from the cathode to the organic layer. In the luminescent zone, the hole and the electron recombine to produce an exciton. When the exciton returns to the ground state from the excited state, the molecule of the organic layer emits light. Such an organic light-emitting diode is known to have characteristics such as self-luminescence, high luminance, high efficiency, low driving voltage, a wide viewing angle, high contrast, and high-speed response.


Materials used as organic layers in OLEDs may be divided according to functions into luminescent materials and charge transport materials, for example, a hole injection material, a hole transport material, an electron transport material, and an electron injection material. As for the luminescent materials, there are two main families of OLED: those based on small molecules and those employing polymers. The light-emitting mechanism forms the basis of classification of luminescent materials as fluorescent and phosphorescent materials, which use excitons in singlet and triplet states, respectively.


When a single material is employed as the luminescent material, intermolecular actions cause the maximum luminescence wavelength to shift toward a longer wavelength, resulting in a reduction in color purity and luminous efficiency due to light attenuation. In this regard, a host-dopant system may be used as a luminescent material so as to increase the color purity and the luminous efficiency through energy transfer.


This is based on the principle whereby, when a dopant which is smaller in energy band gap than a host forming a light-emitting layer is added in a small amount to the light-emitting layer, excitons are generated from the light-emitting layer and transported to the dopant, emitting light at high efficiency. Here, light with desired wavelengths can be obtained depending on the kind of the dopant because the wavelength of the host moves to the wavelength range of the dopant.


Meanwhile, studies have been made to use boron compounds as dopant compounds. With regard to related art pertaining to the use of boron compounds, reference may be made to Korean Patent No. 10-2016-0119683 A (issued Oct. 14, 2016), which discloses an organic light-emitting diode employing a novel polycyclic aromatic compound in which multiple aromatic rings are connected via boron and oxygen atoms. In addition, International Patent No. WO 2017/188111 (Nov. 2, 2017) disclosed an organic light emitting diode in which a compound structured to connect multiple polycondensed aromatic rings via boron and nitrogen atoms is used as a dopant in a light emitting layer while an anthracene derivative is used as a host.


Despite a variety of kinds of compounds prepared for use in light emitting layers in organic light emitting diodes including the related arts, there is still the continuing need to develop an organic light emitting diode that is capable of stably driving at a lower voltage and exhibit high efficiency.

The use of the compound represented by Chemical Formula H as a host material in the light emitting layer can guarantee improved properties in the organic light emitting diode due to the structural characteristics.

In a particular example of the anthracene derivative represented by [Chemical Formula H] according to the present disclosure, Ar9 may be a deuterium-substituted or unsubstituted phenyl and R11 to R18 may be the same or different and may each be independently a hydrogen atom or a deuterium atom. In more particular example, the anthracene derivative represented by Chemical Formula H includes a deuterium atom at a degree of deuteration of 30% or higher.


Here, the anthracene derivative represented by Chemical Formula H may have a degree of deuteration of 30% or higher, particularly 35% or higher, more particularly 40% or higher, 45% or higher, 50% or higher, 55% or higher, 60% or higher, 65% or higher, or even more particularly 70% or higher.


As for a degree of deuteration applied in the description, “a deuterated derivative” of compound X refers to the same structure of compound X with the exception that at least one deuterium atom (D), instead of a hydrogen atom (H), is bonded to a carbon atom, a nitrogen atom, or an oxygen atom within compound X.


As used herein, the term “yy % deuterated” or “a degree of deuteration of yy %” means that deuterium atoms bonded directly to carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms within compound X exist at yy %, based on the total number of hydrogen and deuterium atoms bonded directly thereto.


For example, the benzene compound C6H4D2, which has two deuterium atoms and four hydrogen atoms, is 33% deuterated because the degree of deuteration thereof is calculated as 2/(4+2)×100=33%.


When the anthracene derivative compound of the present disclosure is deuterated, the degree of deuteration is expressed as a percentage of the deuterium atoms bonded directly to the carbon atoms within the anthracene derivative relative to all hydrogen and deuterium atoms bonded directly to the carbon atoms within the anthracene derivative.


For the anthracene derivative represented by the following Chemical Formula 1, for example, there is a total of 10 deuterium atoms from 5 deuterium atoms on the phenyl radical bonded to the anthracene moiety and 5 deuterium atoms on the phenyl radical bonded to the dibenzofuran moiety while there are 8 hydrogen atoms on the anthracene moiety and 6 hydrogen atoms on the two 6-membered aromatic rings of the dibenzofuran moiety. Thus, the degree of deuteration is expressed as 100*10/(10+8+6)=41.7%.




embedded image


For a specific compound, an average degree of deuteration may be given because degrees of deuteration may differ from one substituent to another.


An average degree of deuteration is more suitable for accounting for an anthracene compound partially substituted with deuterium atoms. For example, perdeuterated anthracene derivatives may be prepared and used. However, compounds with hydrogen atoms and deuterium atoms on carbon atoms at specific positions or in specific moieties may be obtained in mixture according to reaction conditions during the preparation and it is very difficult to separate the compounds from each other. In this case, an average amount of deuterium atoms existing in the compositions can be obtained and used to calculate a degree of deuteration with reference to the structural formula thereof.


Among the anthracene derivatives represented by Chemical Formula H, deuterated anthracene derivatives can improve the life span of the organic light emitting diode of the present disclosure.


According to a particular embodiment, R11 to R18 in Chemical Formula H, which may be the same or different, may each be independently a hydrogen or a deuterium atom and Ar9 may be a perdeuterated phenyl radical.


In the compound of Chemical Formula H according to some particular embodiments, Ar9 is a deuterium-substituted or unsubstituted phenyl, and R11 to R14 may each be a deuterium atom or R15 to R18 may each be a deuterium, and particularly, R11 to R18 may each be a deuterium atom.


In the compound of Chemical Formula H according to the present disclosure, at least one of R23 to R26 may be a deuterated aryl of 6 to 20.


In addition, the linker L13 in Chemical Formula H may be a single bond.


Concrete examples of the anthracene derivative represented by Chemical Formula H according to the present disclosure include Compounds 1 to 78:

Throughout the description of the present disclosure, the phrase “(an organic layer) includes at least one organic compound” may be construed to mean that “(an organic layer) may include a single organic compound species or two or more difference species of organic compounds falling within the scope of the present disclosure”.


An organic light emitting diode according to the present disclosure comprises an anode as a first electrode; a cathode as a second electrode; and a light emitting layer interposed between the anode and the cathode, wherein the light emitting layer includes a boron compound represented by Chemical Formula A or B as a dopant and a compound represented by Chemical Formula H as a host. Having such structural characteristics, the organic light emitting diode according to the present disclosure can drive at low voltage with high luminous efficiency.


In this regard, the organic light emitting diode according to the present disclosure may include at least one of a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a functional layer capable of both hole injection and hole transport, an electron transport layer, and an electron injection layer, in addition to the light-emitting layer.


When the light-emitting layer contains a host and a dopant, the content of the dopant in the light-emitting layer may range from about 0.01 to 20 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the host, but is not limited thereto.


Furthermore, the light emitting layer may contain various host materials and various dopant materials in addition to the dopant and host.


Below, an organic light-emitting diode according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is explained with reference to FIG. 1.



FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the structure of an organic light-emitting diode according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.


As shown in FIG. 1, the organic light-emitting diode according to an embodiment of the present disclosure comprises an anode 20, a hole transport layer 40, an organic light emitting layer 50 containing a host and a dopant, an electron transport layer 60, and a cathode 80 in the order, that is, comprises an anode as a first electrode, a cathode as a second electrode, a hole transport layer between the anode and the light emitting layer, and an electron transport layer between the light emitting layer and the cathode.


In addition, an organic light emitting diode according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may comprise a hole injection layer 30 between the anode 20 and the hole transport layer 40 and an electron injection layer 70 between an electron transport layer 60 and a cathode 80.


Reference is made to FIG. 1 with regard to the organic light emitting diode of the present disclosure and the fabrication thereof. First, a substrate 10 is coated with an anode electrode material to form an anode 20. So long as it is used in a typical organic light emitting diode, any substrate may be used as the substrate 10. Preferable is an organic substrate or transparent plastic substrate that exhibits excellent transparency, surface smoothness, ease of handling, and waterproofness. As the anode electrode material, indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), tin oxide (SnO2), or zinc oxide (ZnO), which are transparent and superior in terms of conductivity, may be used.


A hole injection layer material is applied on the anode 20 by thermal deposition in a vacuum or by spin coating to form a hole injection layer 30. Subsequently, thermal deposition in a vacuum or by spin coating may also be conducted to form a hole transport layer 40 with a hole transport layer material on the hole injection layer 30.


No particular limitations are imparted to the hole injection layer material, as long as it is one that is typically used in the art. For example, mention may be made of 2-TNATA [4,4′,4″-tris(2-naphthylphenyl-phenylamino)-triphenylamine], NPD [N,N′-di(1-naphthyl)-N,N′-diphenylbenzidine)], TPD [N,N′-diphenyl-N,N′-bis(3-methylphenyl)-1,1′-biphenyl-4,4′-diamine], or DNTPD [N,N′-diphenyl-N,N′-bis-[4-(phenyl-m-tolyl-amino)-phenyl]-biphenyl-4,4′-diamine], but the present disclosure is not limited thereby.


So long as it is typically used in the art, any material may be selected for the hole transport layer without particular limitation. Examples include, but are not limited to, N,N′-bis(3-methylphenyl)-N,N′-diphenyl-[1,1-biphenyl]-4,4′-diamine (TPD) and N,N′-di(naphthalen-1-yl)-N,N′-diphenylbenzidine (a-NPD).


Meanwhile, an electron barrier layer may be further formed on the hole transport layer. The electron barrier layer functions to prevent electrons injected from the electron injection layer from passing through the hole transport layer through the light emitting layer, thereby improving a life span and luminance efficiency of the diode and may be formed at a suitable site between the light emitting layer and the hole injection layer and particularly between the light emitting layer and the hole transport layer.


Then, an organic light-emitting layer 50 is deposited on the hole transport layer 40 or an electron barrier layer by deposition in a vacuum or by spin coating.


Herein, the light emitting layer may contain a host and a dopant and the materials are as described above.


In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the light-emitting layer particularly ranges in thickness from 50 to 2,000 Å.


Here, an electron transport layer is deposited on the organic light emitting layer by deposition in a vacuum or by spin coating.


A material for use in the electron transport layer functions to stably carry the electrons injected from the electron injection electrode (cathode), and may be an electron transport material known in the art. Examples of the electron transport material known in the art include quinoline derivatives, particularly, tris(8-quinolinorate)aluminum (Alq3), Liq, TAZ, Balq, beryllium bis(benzoquinolin-10-olate) (Bebq2), Compound 201, Compound 202, BCP, and oxadiazole derivatives such as PBD, BMD, and BND, but are not limited thereto:

In the organic light emitting diode of the present disclosure, an electron injection layer (EIL) that functions to facilitate electron injection from the cathode may be deposited on the electron transport layer. The material for the EIL is not particularly limited.


So long as it is conventionally used in the art, any material can be available for the electron injection layer without particular limitations. Examples include LiF, NaCl, CsF, Li2O, and BaO. Deposition conditions for the electron injection layer may vary, depending on compounds used, but may be generally selected from condition scopes that are almost the same as for the formation of hole injection layers.


The electron injection layer may range in thickness from about 1 Å to about 100 Å, and particularly from about 3 Å to about 90 Å. Given the thickness range for the electron injection layer, the diode can exhibit satisfactory electron injection properties without actually elevating a driving voltage.


Here, a transparent cathode may be made using lithium (Li), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), aluminum (Al) alloys thereof, aluminum-lithium (Al—Li), magnesium-indium (Mg—In), or magnesium-silver (Mg—Ag), ITO, or IZO.


In another embodiment, the light-emitting diode of the present disclosure may further comprise a light-emitting layer, made of a blue light-emitting material, a green light-emitting material, or a red light-emitting material, which can emit light in a wavelength range of 380 nm to 800 nm. That is, the light-emitting layer in the organic light-emitting diode of the present disclosure may have a multilayer structure in which the additional blue, green, and/or red light-emitting layer may be made of a fluorescent or phosphorescent material.


Further, one or more layers selected from among a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light emitting layer, an electron transport layer, and an electron injection layer may be deposited using a single-molecule deposition process or a solution process.


Here, the deposition process is a process by which a material is vaporized in a vacuum or at a low pressure and deposited to form a layer, and the solution process is a method in which a material is dissolved in a solvent and applied for the formation of a thin film by means of inkjet printing, roll-to-roll coating, screen printing, spray coating, dip coating, spin coating, etc.


Also, the organic light-emitting diode of the present disclosure may be applied to a device selected from among flat display devices, flexible display devices, monochrome or grayscale flat illumination devices, and monochrome or grayscale flexible illumination devices.


A better understanding of the present disclosure may be obtained through the following examples which are set forth to illustrate, but are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

Examples 1 to 25: Fabrication of Organic Light Emitting Diodes

An ITO glass substrate was patterned to have a translucent area of 2 mm×2 mm and cleansed. The ITO glass was mounted in a vacuum chamber that was then set to have a base pressure of 1×10−7 torr. On the ITO glass substrate, films were sequentially formed of DNTPD (700 Å) and [Chemical Formula G] (250 Å) in the order. Subsequently, a light-emitting layer (250 Å) was formed of a combination of host and dopant compounds (98:2) listed in Table 1, below. Then, [Chemical Formula E-1] and [Chemical Formula E-2] were deposited at a ratio of 1:1 to form an electron transport layer (300 Å), on which an electron injecting layer of [Chemical Formula E-1] (5 Å) was formed and then covered with an Al layer (1000 Å) to fabricate an organic light-emitting diode. The organic light-emitting diodes thus obtained were measured at 0.4 mA for luminescence properties:
