Description
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

The present application claims the priority of Chinese Patent Application No. 202011249452.5 filed on Nov. 10, 2020, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety as part of the present application.


FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of organic materials, in particular to a nitrogen-containing compound, an organic electroluminescent device using the nitrogen-containing compound, and an electronic apparatus using the organic electroluminescent device.


BACKGROUND

An organic electroluminescent device, also referred to as an organic light-emitting diode, refers to a phenomenon that an organic light-emitting material emits light when excited by a current under the action of an electric field. It is a process of converting an electrical energy into a light energy. Compared with inorganic light-emitting materials, organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have the advantages of active light emission, large optical path range, low driving voltage, high brightness, high efficiency, low energy consumption, and simple manufacturing process. Because of these advantages, organic light-emitting materials and devices have become one of the most popular research topics of the scientific community and the industrial community.


The organic electroluminescent device generally includes an anode, a hole transport layer, an electroluminescent layer as an energy conversion layer, an electron transport layer, and a cathode which are stacked in sequence. When a voltage is applied to the cathode and the anode, an electric field is generated between the two electrodes, the electrons on the cathode side move towards the electroluminescent layer and the holes on the anode side also move towards the electroluminescent layer under the action of the electric field, the electrons and the holes are combined in the electroluminescent layer to form excitons, the excitons are in an excited state and release energy outwards, which in turn makes the electroluminescent layer emit light outwards.


In the prior art, CN107445910A, CN108884059A, CN109641840A, CN110540527A and the like disclose light-emitting layer materials that can be used in an organic electroluminescent device. However, it is still necessary to continue to develop new materials to further improve the performance of electronic components.


The above information disclosed in the background is merely used to enhance an understanding of the background of the present disclosure, and thus it may include information that does not constitute the prior art known to those of ordinary skill in the art.


SUMMARY

The present disclosure aims to provide a nitrogen-containing compound, an organic electroluminescent device, and an electronic device to improve the performance of the organic electroluminescent device and the electronic apparatus.


In order to achieve the above-mentioned inventive purpose, the present disclosure adopts the following technical solutions.


In a first aspect, the present disclosure provides a nitrogen-containing compound, having a structure as shown in a formula 1:

Wherein X1 is selected from O or S;


X2, X3, X4, and X5 are the same as or different from each other, and are each independently selected from C(H) or N;


L and L1 are respectively and independently selected from a single bond, substituted or unsubstituted arylene with 6 to 30 carbon atoms, and substituted or unsubstituted heteroarylene with 3 to 30 carbon atoms;


Ar is selected from substituted or unsubstituted aryl with 6 to 30 carbon atoms, substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl with 3 to 30 carbon atoms, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl with 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl with 3 to 20 carbon atoms;


substituents in L, L1 and Ar are the same as or different from each other, and are each independently selected from deuterium, a halogen group, cyano, heteroaryl with 3 to 20 carbon atoms, aryl with 6 to 20 carbon atoms which can be optionally substituted by 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 substituents independently selected from deuterium, fluorine, cyano, methyl, and tert-butyl, trialkylsilyl with 3 to 12 carbon atoms, triarylsilyl with 18 to 24 carbon atoms, alkyl with 1 to 10 carbon atoms, haloalkyl with 1 to 10 carbon atoms, cycloalkyl with 3 to 10 carbon atoms, heterocycloalkyl with 2 to 10 carbon atoms, alkoxy with 1 to 10 carbon atoms, alkylthio with 1 to 10 carbon atoms, aryloxy with 6 to 18 carbon atoms, arylthio with 6 to 18 carbon atoms, and phosphinyloxy with 6 to 18 carbon atoms; and


in L, L1 and Ar, optionally, any two adjacent substituents form a ring.


The nitrogen-containing compound provided by the present disclosure is based on a triazine derivative and phenanthrene as a core structure. Wherein a fused ring group of phenanthrene is an aromatic structure having 10 π electrons, which has a stable planar structure. The triazine derivative is substituted at the 4-position of phenanthrene, and compounds substituted at the 4-position have a larger twisted dihedral angle compared with those substituted at other positions, which reduces the degree of conjugation of a nitrogen-containing compound structure, thus making the material have a high T1 value; and meanwhile, the steric hindrance of the material is increased, the intermolecular force is decreased, the evaporation temperature of the material is decreased under the same molecular weight, and the performance degradation of the organic electroluminescent device caused by crystallization can be effectively reduced. Furthermore, the triazine derivative can effectively enhance the electronegativity of the compound and improve the electron transport properties of the compound. When the nitrogen-containing compound of the present disclosure is used as a host material of an organic electroluminescent layer of an organic electroluminescent device, the luminous efficiency and the service life of the device can be effectively improved.


In a second aspect, the present disclosure provides an organic electroluminescent device, including an anode and a cathode which are disposed oppositely, and a functional layer disposed between the anode and the cathode; and the functional layer includes the nitrogen-containing compound in the first aspect; and


preferably, the functional layer includes an organic electroluminescent layer, and the organic electroluminescent layer includes the nitrogen-containing compound.


In a third aspect, the present disclosure provides an electronic apparatus, including the organic electroluminescent device in the second aspect.

In the present disclosure, the terms “optional” and “optionally” mean that the subsequently described event or circumstance can but need not occur, and that the description includes occasions where the event or circumstance occurs or does not occur. For example, “optionally, any two adjacent substituents form a ring;”, which means that the two substituents may, but need not, form a ring, including a scenario in which two adjacent substituents form a ring and a scenario in which two adjacent substituents do not form a ring.


In the present disclosure, “aryl with 6 to 20 carbon atoms which can be optionally substituted by 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 substituents independently selected from deuterium, fluorine, cyano, methyl, and tert-butyl” means that the aryl may be substituted with one or more of deuterium, fluorine, cyano, methyl, and tert-butyl, and may also be not substituted with deuterium, fluorine, cyano, methyl, or tert-butyl, and when the number of substituents on the aryl is greater than or equal to 2, the substituents may be the same or different.

An anode was prepared by the following process: an ITO substrate having an ITO thickness of 110 nm was cut into a dimension of 40 mm (length)×40 mm (width)×0.7 mm (thickness) to be prepared into an experimental substrate with an anode, a cathode overlap region and an insulating layer pattern by adopting a photoetching process, and surface treatment was performed on the substrate by utilizing plasma such as ultraviolet ozone so as to increase the work function of the anode. The surface of the ITO substrate may also be cleaned with an organic solvent to clean impurities and oil on the surface.


HAT-CN was vacuum evaporated on the ITO substrate to form a hole injection layer (HIL) having a thickness of 10 nm, and NPB was vacuum evaporated on the hole injection layer to form a hole transport layer having a thickness of 110 nm.


TCBPA was vacuum evaporated on the hole transport layer to form an electron blocking layer having a thickness of 35 nm.


A compound 3 and GH-P1 which were used as a host, and Ir(npy)2acac which was used as a dopant were co-evaporated on the electron blocking layer in a mass ratio of 50%:45%:5% to form a green organic electroluminescent layer (EML) having a thickness of 38 nm.


TPyQB and LiQ were mixed at a weight ratio of 1:1 and evaporated to form an electron transport layer (ETL) having a thickness of 28 nm.


Yb was evaporated on the electron transport layer to form an electron injection layer (EIL) having a thickness of 1.5 nm.


Magnesium (Mg) and silver (Ag) were mixed and vacuum evaporated at an evaporation rate of 1:9 on the electron injection layer to form a cathode having a thickness of 14 nm.


In addition, CP-1 having a thickness of 66 nm was vacuum evaporated on the cathode, thus completing the manufacture of the organic electroluminescent device.
