Description of FIGS. 1 and 2

FIG. 1 is a schematic view of an organic light-emitting device 10 according to an embodiment. Hereinafter, a structure and a manufacturing method of an organic light-emitting device according to an example of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIG. 1.

The organic light-emitting device 10 of FIG. 1 includes a first electrode 11, a second electrode 19 facing the first electrode 11, and an organic layer 10A between the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 19.

The organic layer 10A includes an emission layer 15, a hole transport region 12 may be located between the first electrode 11 and the emission layer 15, and an electron transport region 17 may be located between the emission layer 15 and the second electrodes 19.

A substrate may be additionally located under the first electrode 11 or above the second electrode 19. For use as the substrate, any substrate that is used in organic light-emitting devices available in the art may be used, and the substrate may be a glass substrate or a transparent plastic substrate, each having excellent mechanical strength, thermal stability, transparency, surface smoothness, ease of handling, and water resistance.

First Electrode 11

In one or more embodiments, the first electrode 11 may be formed by depositing or sputtering a material for forming the first electrode 11 on the substrate. The first electrode 11 may be an anode. The material for forming the first electrode 11 may be materials with a high work function to facilitate hole injection.

The first electrode 11 may be a reflective electrode, a semi-transmissive electrode, or a transmissive electrode. When the first electrode 11 is a transmissive electrode, a material for forming a first electrode may be indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), tin oxide (SnO₂), zinc oxide (ZnO), and any combinations thereof, but embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. In one or more embodiments, when the first electrode 110 is a semi-transmissive electrode or a reflectable electrode, a material for forming a first electrode may be magnesium (Mg), silver (Ag), aluminum (Al), aluminum-lithium (Al—Li), calcium (Ca), magnesium-indium (Mg—In), magnesium-silver (Mg—Ag), and any combinations thereof, but embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.

The first electrode 11 may have a single-layered structure or a multi-layered structure including two or more layers.

Emission Layer 15

The emission layer 15 may include a host, a cooling dopant, and a sensitizer.

The emission layer may emit fluorescent light. That is, the cooling dopant may be a material that may emit fluorescent light. The emission layer 15, which emits the fluorescent light, is clearly distinguished from an emission layer of the related art that emits phosphorescent light.

In an embodiment, the emission layer may include a host, a cooling dopant, and a sensitizer,

the cooling dopant and the sensitizer satisfy Conditions 1 and 2, and

the sensitizer may include Pt:

T _decay(CD)<T_decay(S)  Condition 1

T _decay(CD)<1.5 μs  Condition 2

wherein, in Conditions 1 and 2,

T_decay(CD) is a decay time of the cooling dopant, and

T_decay(S) is a decay time of the sensitizer.

The decay time of the cooling dopant is calculated from a time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) at room temperature with respect to a 40 nm-thickness film (hereinafter referred to as “Film (CD)”) obtained by vacuum-codepositing the host and the dopant comprised in the emission layer at the weight ratio of 90:10 on a quartz substrate at the vacuum pressure of 10⁻⁷ torr.

The decay time of the sensitizer is calculated from TRPL at room temperature with respect to a 40 nm-thickness film (hereinafter referred to as “Film (S)”) obtained by vacuum-codepositing the host and the sensitizer comprised in the emission layer at the weight ratio of 90:10 on a quartz substrate at the vacuum pressure of 10⁻⁷ torr.

The detailed evaluation method of the decay time of each of the cooling dopant and the sensitizer may be understood by referring to the following examples.

In general, it is known that since triplet excitons remain long in an excited state, they influence the decrease in the lifespan of organic light-emitting devices. However, according to the present disclosure, the cooling dopant is used to reduce the time during which the triplet excitons of the sensitizer remains in the excited state. Accordingly, an organic light-emitting device including the cooling dopant may have a prolonged lifespan.

In one or more embodiments, the more triplet excitons the sensitizer has, the more excess energy is accumulated in the sensitizer, resulting in more hot excitons. That is, the amount of triplet excitons of the sensitizer is proportional to the amount of hot excitons. The hot excitons break down various chemical bonds of a compound included in an emission layer and/or a compound existing at the interface of the emission layer and other layers to degrade the compound. Accordingly, the lifespan of organic light-emitting devices may be reduced. However, according to the present disclosure, by using cooling dopants, the triplet excitons of the sensitizer can be quickly converted to singlet excitons of the cooling dopant, ultimately reducing the amount of hot excitons and increasing the lifespan of an organic light-emitting.

In this regard, “hot excitons” may be generated or increased by exciton-exciton annihilation due to an increase in the density of excitons in an emission layer, exciton-charge annihilation due to the charge imbalance in an emission layer, and/or radical ion pairs due to the delivery of electrons between a host and dopant.

In order to quickly convert triplet excitons of the sensitizer to singlet excitons of the cooling dopant, Condition 1 should be satisfied.

In addition, since the cooling dopant emits fluorescent light, a high color purity organic light-emitting device can be provided, and in particular, since Condition 2 is satisfied, so that the singlet excitons of the cooling dopant excited state at room temperature can be rapidly transferred, and thus, the single state of the cooling dopant in the excited state may not be accumulated, and the lifespan of an organic light-emitting device may be increased.

In addition, when Condition 3 is further satisfied, the transition from the triplet excitons of the sensitizer to the singlet excitons of the cooling dopant may occur more smoothly. Accordingly, the lifespan of an organic light-emitting device may be further prolonged:

T _decay(CD)/T_decay(S)<0.5  Condition 3

wherein, in Condition 3,

T_decay(CD) is a decay time of the cooling dopant, and

T_decay(S) is a decay time of the sensitizer.

In one or more embodiments, the organic light-emitting device may further satisfy Condition 4:

BDE(S)−T₁(S)<3.0 eV  Condition 4

wherein, in Condition 4,

BDE (S) is the bond dissociation energy level of the sensitizer, and

T₁ (S) is the lowest excitation triplet energy level of the sensitizer.

Ultimately, the organic light-emitting device may have the target level of lifespan by satisfying Condition 5 below:

R(Hex)/e¹⁰<15  Condition 5

wherein, in Condition 5,

R (Hex) is the production rate of hot excitons.

In this regard, R (Hex) was subjected to the photochemical stability of the organic light-emitting device (photochemical stability), and then calculated through the Gaussian 09 program according to Equation C below.

R(Hex)=a×T_decay(S)×e^{−(BDE(S)-T1(S))}  Equation C

wherein, in Equation C,

a is an arbitrary constant,

T_decay(S) is a decay time of the sensitizer,

BDE (S) is the bond dissociation energy level of the sensitizer, and

T₁ (S) is the lowest excitation triplet energy level of the sensitizer.

The hot-exciton production rate is estimated to be proportional to (decay time)×e-^(BDE-T1), and in order to obtain the target level of the lifespan of the organic light-emitting device, (hot-exciton production rate)/e¹⁰ should be less than 15.

In this regard, the degradation analysis (PCS) of organic light-emitting devices was calculated according to the following Equation P:

PCS (%)=I₂/I₁×100  Equation P

wherein, in Equation P,

I₁, with respect to a film formed by depositing a compound of which PCS is to be measured, is a maximum light intensity obtained from the PL spectrum which is evaluated at room temperature under Ar atmosphere where outside air is blocked immediately after the formation of the film by using a He—Cd laser (excitation wavelength=325 nanometers, laser power density=100 mW/cm²) of KIMMON-KOHA Inc., and

I₂, with respect to a film formed by depositing a compound of which PCS is to be measured, is a maximum light intensity obtained from the PL spectrum which is evaluated at room temperature under Ar atmosphere where outside air is blocked, by exposing the film to light of the He—Cd laser (excitation wavelength=325 nanometers and laser power density=100 mW/cm²) of KIMMON-KOHA Inc., which is a pumping laser which has been used to evaluate I₁, for 3 hours, and then, using He—Cd laser of KIMMON-KOHA Inc. (excitation wavelength=325 nanometers). In the case of the sensitizer, reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) and/or intersystem crossing (ISC) actively occur, which allows excitons generated at the host to be delivered to the cooling dopant.

Specifically, the general energy transfer of an organic light-emitting device (type I) according to an embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 2A.

Singlet and triplet excitons are formed at the host in the emission layer, and the singlet and triplet excitons formed at the host are transferred to the sensitizer and then to the cooling dopant through Förster energy transfer (FRET). At this time, in order to embody the high efficiency and long lifespan of the organic light-emitting device, it is necessary to control the hot excitons generated in the emission layer, which requires optimization of energy transfer.

Specifically, the general energy transfer of an organic light-emitting device (type I) according to an embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 2B. This is the case when the sensitizer is a thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitter satisfying the condition of ΔE_ST≤0.3 eV.

The singlet excitons formed at the host, which is 25% of the total excitons, are transferred to the sensitizer through FRET, and the energy of triplet excitons formed at the host, which is 75% of the total excitons, is transferred to the singlet and triplet of the sensitizer, among which the energy delivered to triplet is subjected to RISC into singlet, and then, the singlet energy of the sensitizer is transferred to the cooling dopant through FRET.

Specifically, the general energy transfer of an organic light-emitting device (type II) according to an embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 2C. In this case, the sensitizer is an organic metallic compound including Pt.

The triplet excitons formed at the host, which is 75% of the total excitons, are transferred to the sensitizer through Dexter energy transfer, and the energy of singlet excitons formed at the host, which is 25% of the total excitons, is transferred to the singlet and triplet of the sensitizer, among which the energy delivered to singlet is subjected to ISC into triplet, and then, the triplet energy of the sensitizer is transferred to the cooling dopant through FRET.

Accordingly, by transferring all the singlet excitons and triplet excitons generated in the emission layer to the dopant, an organic light-emitting device having improved efficiency can be obtained. In addition, since an organic light-emitting device can be obtained with significantly reduced energy loss, the lifespan characteristics of the organic light-emitting device can be improved.

The amount of the sensitizer in the emission layer may be from about 5 wt % to about 50 wt %. Within these ranges, it is possible to achieve effective energy transfer in the emission layer, and accordingly, an organic light-emitting device having high efficiency and long lifespan can be obtained.

In one or more embodiments, the host, the cooling dopant, and the sensitizer may further satisfy Condition 6:

T ₁(H)≥T₁(S)≥S₁(CD)  Condition 6

wherein, in Condition 6,

T₁(H) is the lowest excitation triplet energy level of the host,

S₁(CD) is the lowest excitation singlet energy level of the cooling dopant, and

T₁(S) is the lowest excitation triplet energy level of the sensitizer.

When the host, the cooling dopant, and the sensitizer each satisfy Equation 3, triplet excitons may be effectively transferred from the emission layer to the cooling dopant, and thus, an organic light-emitting device having improved efficiency may be obtained.

The emission layer may consist of the host, the cooling dopant, and the sensitizer. That is, the emission layer may not further include materials other than the host, the cooling dopant, and the sensitizer.

A thickness of the emission layer may be in a range of about 100 Å to about 1,000 Å, for example, about 200 Å to about 600 Å. When the thickness of the emission layer is within this range, excellent light-emission characteristics may be obtained without a substantial increase in driving voltage.

The host may include no metal atoms.

In one or more embodiments, the host may include one kind of host. When the host includes one host, the one host may be an amphiprotic host, an electron transport host, a hole transport host, or any combination thereof which will be described later.

For example, the host may be a mixture of an electron transport host and a hole transport host, a mixture of two types of electron transport hosts different from each other, or a mixture of two types of hole transport hosts different from each other.

EXAMPLES

Evaluation Example 1: Decay Time Measurement

On the quartz substrate, compounds of Tables 5 to 7 were vacuum-codeposited at a vacuum pressure of 10⁻⁷ torr at a weight ratio of Tables 5 to 7 to manufacture films, each having a thickness of 40 nm. With respect to each of the films, the PL spectrum was evaluated at room temperature by using FluoTime 300 of PicoQuant Inc. and PLS340, which is a pumping source of PicoQuant Inc., (excitation wavelength=340 nm, and spectrum width=20 nm). In detail, the wavelength of the main peak of the spectrum obtained for each film was identified, and the number of photons emitted from the respective sample at the wavelength of the main peak by photon pulses (pulse width=500 μs) applied by the PLS340 to the respective film was repeatedly measured based on time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC), to obtain a TRPL curve which can be subjected to fitting. Two or more exponential decay functions, obtained therefrom, were subjected to fitting to calculate a decay time with respect to each film. In this regard, the same measurement was performed for the same measurement time as used to obtain the TRPL curve in the dark condition (The light low pulse signal incident to the predetermined film was blocked) to obtain a background signal curve which was then subjected to fitting. The resultant was used as a baseline.

At this time, in the case of the film of Table 5, the function used for fitting is the same as Equation A below, and the largest value among the Taus obtained therefrom was taken. For the films of Tables 6 and 7 below, Tau was obtained by Equation B using the amplitude values (A₁, A₂, A₃, etc.) and Tau values (Tau₁, Tau₂, Tau₃, etc.) obtained by fitting:

$\begin{array}{cc}f\left(t\right)=\sum _{i=1}^nA_i\exp \left(-t/T_{\mathrm{decay},i}\right)& \mathrm{Equation}A\\ \mathrm{Tau}=\left(\sum _{i=1}^nA_i\times {\mathrm{Tau}}_i\right)÷\left(\sum _{i=1}^nA_i\right)& \mathrm{Equation}B\end{array}$
