The organic compound is used in a light efficiency improving layer included in an organic light-emitting device to increase the light efficiency of the device so as to be able to implement excellent device characteristics such as low voltage driving, excellent color purity, and improved luminescence efficiency of the device.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to an organic compound that is employed as a material for a light efficiency improving layer (capping layer) provided in an organic light-emitting device, and an organic light-emitting device that employs the same, thus achieving greatly improved luminescent properties such as low-voltage driving of the device and excellent luminous efficiency.


BACKGROUND ART

The organic light-emitting device may be formed even on a transparent substrate, and may be driven at a low voltage of 10 V or less compared to a plasma display panel or an inorganic electroluminescence (EL) display. In addition, the device consumes relatively little power and has good color representation. The device may display three colors of green, blue, and read, and thus has recently become a subject of intense interest as a next-generation display device.


However, in order for such an organic light-emitting device to exhibit the aforementioned characteristics, the materials constituting an organic layer in the device, such as hole injecting materials, hole transport materials, light emitting materials, electron transport materials, and electron injecting materials, are prerequisites for the support by stable and efficient materials. However, the development of a stable and efficient organic layer material for an organic light-emitting device has not yet been sufficiently made.


Thus, further improvements in terms of efficiency and life characteristics are required for good stability, high efficiency, long lifetime, and large size of organic light-emitting devices. Particularly, there is a strong need to develop materials constituting each organic layer of organic light-emitting devices.


In addition, recently, research aimed at improving the characteristics of organic light-emitting devices by changes in the performance of each organic layer material, as well as a technique for improving the color purity and enhancing the luminous efficiency by optimizing the optical thickness between an anode and a cathode are considered as one of the crucial factors for improving the device performance. As an example of this method, an increase in light efficiency and excellent color purity are achieved by using a capping layer on an electrode.

As a result, when the organic compound according to the present invention is applied to the light efficiency improving layer provided in the organic light-emitting device, it is possible to further improve the luminescent properties such as luminous efficiency, etc. of the device.


In addition, the compound of an embodiment of the present invention may be applied to a device according to a general method for manufacturing an organic light-emitting device.


An organic light-emitting device according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a first electrode, a second electrode, and an organic layer arranged therebetween. The organic light-emitting device may be manufactured using a general device manufacturing method and material, except that the organic compound of an embodiment of the present invention is used to form the organic layer of the device.


The organic layer of the organic light-emitting device according to an embodiment of the present invention may have a monolayer structure or a multilayer structure in which two or more organic layers are stacked. For example, the structure of the organic layers may include a hole injecting layer, a hole transport layer, a light emitting layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injecting layer, an electron blocking layer, a hole blocking layer, and a light efficiency improving layer (capping layer). The number of the organic layers is not limited and may be increased or decreased.


In addition, the organic light-emitting device may include a substrate, a first electrode (anode), an organic layer, a second electrode (cathode), and a light efficiency improving layer, and the light efficiency improving layer may be formed under the first electrode (bottom emission) or on the second electrode (top emission).


When the light efficiency improving layer is formed on the second electrode (top emission), light from the light emitting layer is emitted to the cathode and passes through the light efficiency improving layer (CPL) formed using the compound according to an embodiment of the present invention having a relatively high refractive index, so that the wavelength of the light is amplified, resulting in an increase in luminous efficiency.


Preferred structures of the organic layers of the organic light-emitting device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be explained in more detail in the examples to be described later.

As the cathode material, a material having a low work function is generally preferred for easy injection of electrons into the organic layers. Specific examples of suitable cathode materials include, but are not limited to: metals such as magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium, titanium, indium, yttrium, lithium, gadolinium, aluminum, silver, tin, and lead and alloys thereof; and multilayer structure materials such as LiF/Al and LiO2/Al.


The hole injecting material is preferably a material that may receive holes injected from the anode at low voltage. The highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of the hole injecting material is preferably between the work function of the anode material and the HOMO of the adjacent organic layer. Specific examples of hole injecting materials include, but are not limited to, metal porphyrin, oligothiophene, arylamine-based organic materials, hexanitrile hexaazatriphenylene, quinacridone-based organic materials, perylene-based organic materials, anthraquinone, polyaniline, and polythiophene-based conductive polymers.


The hole transport material is a material that may receive holes transported from the anode or the hole injecting layer and may transfer the holes to the light emitting layer. A material with high hole mobility is suitable. Specific examples thereof include arylamine-based organic materials, conductive polymers, and block copolymers consisting of conjugated and non-conjugated segments. The use of the organic compound according to an embodiment of the present invention ensures further improved low-voltage driving characteristics, high luminous efficiency, and life characteristics of the device.


The light emitting material is a material that may receive and recombine holes from the hole transport layer and electrons from the electron transport layer to emit light in the visible ray area. A material with high quantum efficiency for fluorescence and phosphorescence is preferred. Specific examples thereof include, but are not limited to, 8-hydroxyquinoline aluminum complex (Alq3), carbazole-based compounds, dimerized styryl compounds, BAlq, 10-hydroxybenzoquinoline-metal compounds, benzoxazole-based compounds, benzthiazole-based compounds, and benzimidazole-based compounds, poly(p-phenylenevinylene) (PPV)-based polymers, spiro compounds, polyfluorene, and rubrene.

A material with high electron mobility is suitable. Specific examples thereof include, but are not limited to, 8-hydroxyquinoline Al complex, Alq3 complexes, organic radical compounds, hydroxyflavone-metal complexes.
