Each of the organic electroluminescence devices of the Examples and Comparative Examples was manufactured using the method below. ITO with a thickness of about 150 nm was patterned on a glass substrate, washed with ultra-pure water, and treated with UV-ozone for about 10 minutes to form a first electrode. Then, 1-TNATA was deposited to a thickness of about 60 nm, and a hole transport layer with a thickness of about 30 nm was formed using each of the Example Compounds or the Comparative Compounds. Then, an emission layer with a thickness of about 25 nm was formed using ADN doped with 3% TBP, and on the emission layer, a layer with a thickness of about 25 nm was formed using Alq3, and a layer with a thickness of about 1 nm was formed using LiF to form an electron transport region. After that, a second electrode with a thickness of about 100 nm was formed using aluminum (Al). Then, Compound P4 was deposited to a thickness of about 70 nm to form a capping layer. Each layer was formed by a vacuum deposition method.


The emission efficiencies of the organic electroluminescence devices according to Examples to 20 and Comparative Examples 1 to 18 are shown in Table 1. The efficiency was measured at a current density of about 10 mA/cm2, and the half life LT50 is the time elapsed for the luminance to fall from an initial value of about 1,000 cd/m2 to half.

Referring to Table 1, it could be confirmed that each of Examples 1 to 20 exhibited a lower voltage, a longer life and a higher efficiency than each of Comparative Examples 1 to 18.


The polycyclic compound according to the present disclosure has a core structure including benzonaphthofuran or benzonaphthothiophene combined with an amine group having a particular substituent, and without being bound by the correctness of any theory or explanation, this structure supports a decreased driving voltage, and increased lifespan and efficiency in an organic electroluminescence device. It is thought that the heteroatom (e.g., O or S) included in the core structure of benzonaphthofuran or benzonaphthothiophene improves hole transport capacity, such that the recombination probability of holes and electrons in an emission layer is improved, and the emission efficiency is improved.


Examples 1 to 4, 6, 9, 11, 13 and 18 each include a compound in which the amine group is bound to the naphthalene ring in the core structure of benzonaphthofuran or benzonaphthothiophene, and exhibit improved device life. Without being bound by the correctness of any theory or explanation, it is believed that because rr electrons around the amine were widely expanded in the naphthalene ring, stability of radical states was enhanced.


Examples 5, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14 to 17, 19 and 20 each include a compound in which the amine group is bound to the benzene ring in the core structure of benzonaphthofuran or benzonaphthothiophene, and exhibit improved emission efficiency. Without being bound by the correctness of any theory or explanation, it is believed that because the heteroatom included in the benzonaphthofuran or benzonaphthothiophene skeleton and the nitrogen atom of an amine group are substituted on the same ring, hole transport effects due to the heteroatom were enhanced.


Comparative Examples 1 and 2 each showed reduced emission efficiency and lifespan when compared with the Examples. Comparative Examples 1 and 2 are compounds in which an amine group is combined with the core structure of benzonaphthofuran or benzonaphthothiophene, but an unsubstituted phenyl group is combined with a nitrogen atom (e.g., the amine group includes only unsubstituted phenyl groups). Without being bound by the correctness of any theory or explanation, it is believed that the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the material was insufficient such that the charge tolerance of the unsubstituted phenyl group was low, and the materials were deteriorated during continuous driving.


Comparative Example 3 showed reduced device efficiency and life when compared with the Examples. Comparative Example 3 is a compound in which benzonaphthofuran and an amine group are combined via a linker (e.g., an intervening phenyl ring), such that the planarity of a molecule was increased, and decomposition occurred during deposition for forming a hole transport layer.


Comparative Example 4 showed reduced device efficiency and life when compared with the Examples. In the compound of Comparative Example 4, a phenyl substituent on the amine is substituted with a fluorenyl group, and without being bound by the correctness of any theory or explanation, it is believed that instability of the sp3 carbon in the fluorenyl group resulted in decomposition under a radical state and high temperature conditions.


In contrast, the polycyclic compounds of Examples 6 to 8 including a spirocyclic structure with a heteroatom showed improved stability, and provided excellent device properties. In Example 5, because a nitrogen atom was combined on (e.g., directly bonded to) a fluorene ring, the stability of a material was improved due to multi-resonance effects. Accordingly, improved emission efficiency and life were exhibited compared with Comparative Example 4.


Comparative Examples 5 and 6 showed particularly reduced emission efficiencies when compared with Examples 6 to 8. Without being bound by the correctness of any theory or explanation, it is believed that because a heteroatom was not included in the spirocycle of the compounds of Comparative Examples 5 and 6, hole transport properties were degraded, and the recombination probability of holes and electrons in an emission layer was decreased.


Comparative Examples 7 and 8 are amine compounds including a triphenylene substituent, and without being bound by the correctness of any theory or explanation, it is believed that because the planarity of the molecule was increased, the molecule was decomposed during hole transport layer formation, and device efficiency and lifespan were both (e.g., simultaneously) degraded.


Comparative Example 9 is an amine compound including a (2,4,6-triphenyl)phenyl group. Without being bound by the correctness of any theory or explanation, it is thought that because the volume around the nitrogen atom is excessively large, the molecule was decomposed during hole transport layer formation, and device efficiency and lifespan were both degraded.


In addition, though an amine group having a phenanthrene group may be combined with the core structure of benzonaphthofuran similar to the present disclosure, the effect on device efficiency and lifespan may depend on the type (e.g., position) of substituent. For example, if the amine group is at position 2 of Chemical Formula 1 or at position 3 of Chemical Formula 1 as in Comparative Example 10, device efficiency and lifespan are both degraded. Without being bound by the correctness of any theory or explanation, it is thought that in this case, the planarity of the molecule as a whole was increased, intermolecular stacking was enhanced, and hole transport properties were deteriorated.

In contrast, as confirmed in Examples 6 and 11, when Ar1 and Ar2 are substituents including a heteroatom, hole transport properties are improved due to the influence of the heteroatom in Ar1 and Ar2, and excellent device properties may be shown observed regardless of the position at which the amine group is bound to the core structure. In addition, as shown in Example 18, when Ar1 and Ar2 are substituents having polycyclic aromatic rings, interactions between the polycyclic aromatic rings of Ar1 and Ar2 and the emission layer host material may be enhanced, hole transport properties may be improved, and excellent device properties may be shown.


Comparative Examples 11 and 12 have a structure in which an amine group having a naphthyl substituent is combined with a benzonaphthofuran core structure, similar to the polycyclic compound of the present disclosure. However, compared with the polycyclic compound of the present disclosure, the position of the amine group is different. In the compounds of Comparative Examples 11 and 12, the oxygen atom and the nitrogen atom are ortho- or para- to each other on the benzene ring, which induces electronic instability, and device efficiency and lifespan were both degraded when compared with the Examples.


By comparison to Example 9, however, when the oxygen atom and the nitrogen atom in the benzonaphthofuran ring are para to each other on the naphthalene ring, electrons may be expanded (e.g., due to resonance) so that the molecular structure may be stabilized, and excellent device properties may be shown.


Further, as confirmed in Examples 7 and 10, when the amine has a substituent having a heteroatom, the electronic instability issue may be solved due to the effects of the heteroatom, and excellent device properties may be shown regardless of the combination position of the amine group. For example, it could be confirmed that if an amine group does not have a substituent including a heteroatom, the bonding position of the nitrogen atom with benzonaphthofuran or benzonaphthothiophene significantly influences device properties, and only a case where the amine group is combined at a specific position showed improved efficiency and life.


In addition, as confirmed in Examples 16 and 17, in a compound having a benzonaphthothiophene core, even when a sulfur atom and a nitrogen atom are combined at ortho or para position, excellent device properties are shown. Compared with an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom has smaller electronegativity (e.g., is less electronegative), and electrons may be more delocalized around the ring. Accordingly, even when the nitrogen atom is bound ortho or para to the sulfur atom, the electronic instability issue may be solved, and efficiency and lifespan may be improved.


Comparative Examples 13 and 15 each include a dibenzoheterole substituent on the amine, but carrier balance is collapsed, and device efficiency and lifespan were both degraded compared with the Examples. Comparative Example 14 includes a benzoxanthene substituent on the amine, but the heat resistance of the benzoxanthene skeleton is insufficient, and device efficiency and lifespan were both degraded when compared with the Examples.


Comparative Examples 16 and 17 are amine compounds having a carbazole group substituents, but the binding positions of the carbazole groups are different from the materials of the Examples, and the device efficiency and lifespan were both degraded when compared with the Examples. In contrast, in the polycyclic compound according to the present disclosure, the amine moiety is bound to position 3 or position 9 of the carbazole ring, which are the most electron-rich positions, such that hole transport properties were improved, and emission efficiency was improved.


Comparative Example 18 is an amine compound having a dibenzofuran substituent, and thermal and charge tolerance were degraded, and device efficiency and lifespan were both degraded compared with the Examples.


The polycyclic compound according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may be included in a hole transport region to contribute to the decrease of the driving voltage and the increase of the efficiency and lifespan of an organic electroluminescence device.


The organic electroluminescence device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may have excellent efficiency.


The polycyclic compound according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may be used as a material for the hole transport region of an organic electroluminescence device, and the efficiency of the organic electroluminescence device may be improved by the compound.
