This invention relates generally to organic electroluminescent devices with organic films between anodic and cathodic electrodes, and more particularly to such devices and methods for their assembly using the condensation of various silicon moieties.
Organic electroluminescent devices have been known, in various degrees of sophistication, since the early 1970's. Throughout their development and consistent with their function and mode of operation, they can be described generally by way of their physical construction. Such devices are characterized generally by two electrodes which are separated by a series of layered organic films that emit light when an electric potential is applied across the two electrodes. A typical device can consist, in sequence, of an anode, an organic hole injection layer, an organic hole transport layer, an organic electron transport layer, and a cathode. Holes are generated at a transparent electrode, such as one constructed of indium-tin-oxide, and transported through a hole-injecting or hole-transporting layer to an interface with an electron-transporting or electron-injecting layer which transports electrons from a metal electrode. An emissive layer can also be incorporated at the interface between the hole-transporting layer and the electron-transporting layer to improve emission efficiency and to modify the color of the emitted light.
Significant progress has been made in the design and construction of polymer- and molecule-based electroluminescent devices, for light-emitting diodes, displays and the like. Other structures have been explored and include the designated “DH” structure which does not include the hole injection layer, the “SH-A” structure which does not include the hole injection layer or the electron transport layer, and the “SH-B” structure which does not include the hole injection layer or the hole transport layer. See, U.S. Pat. No. 5,457,357 and in particular col. 1 thereof, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
The search for an efficient, effective electroluminescent device and/or method for its production has been an ongoing concern. Several approaches have been used with certain success. However, the prior art has associated with it a number of significant problems and deficiencies. Most are related to the devices and the methods by which they are constructed, and result from the polymeric and/or molecular components and assembly techniques used therewith.
The fabrication of polymer-based electroluminescent devices employs spin coating techniques to apply the layers used for the device. This approach is limited by the inherently poor control of the layer thickness in polymer spin coating, diffusion between the layers, pinholes in the layers, and inability to produce thin layers which leads to poor light collection efficiency and the necessity of high D.C. driving voltages. The types of useful polymers, typically poly(phenylenevinylenes), are greatly limited and most are environmentally unstable over prolonged use periods.
The molecule-based approach uses vapor deposition techniques to put down thin films of volatile molecules. It offers the potential of a wide choice of possible building blocks, for tailoring emissive and other characteristics, and reasonably precise layer thickness control. Impressive advances have recently been achieved in molecular building blocks—especially in electron transporters and emitters, layer structure design (three versus two layers), and light collection/transmission structures (microcavities).
Nevertheless, further advances must be made before these devices are optimum. Component layers which are thinner than achievable by organic vapor deposition techniques would allow lower DC driving voltages and better light transmission collection characteristics. Many of the desirable component molecules are nonvolatile or poorly volatile, with the latter requiring expensive, high vacuum or MBE growth equipment. Such line-of-site growth techniques also have limitation in terms of conformal coverage. Furthermore, many of the desirable molecular components do not form smooth, pinhole-free, transparent films under these conditions nor do they form epitaxial/quasiepitaxial multilayers having abrupt interfaces. Finally, the mechanical stability of molecule-based films can be problematic, especially for large-area applications or on flexible backings.

In light of the foregoing, it is an object of the present invention to provide electroluminescent articles and/or devices and method(s) for their production and/or assembly, thereby overcoming various deficiencies and shortcomings of the prior art, including those outlined above. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that one or more aspects of this invention can meet certain objectives, while one or more other aspects can meet certain other objectives. Each objective may not apply equally, in all its respects, to every aspect of this invention. As such, the following objects can be viewed the alternative with respect to any one aspect of this invention.
It is an object of the present invention to provide control over the thickness dimension of a luminescent medium and/or the conductive layers of such a medium, to control the wavelength of light emitted from any electroluminescent device and enhance the efficiency of such emission.
It can be another object of the present invention to provide molecular components for the construction and/or modification of an electroluminescent medium and/or the conductive layers thereof, which will allow lower driving and/or turn-on voltages than are available through use of conventional materials.
It can also be an object of the present invention to provide component molecules which can be used effectively in liquid media without resort to high vacuum or MBE growth equipment.
It can also be an object of the present invention to provide conformal conductive layers and the molecular components thereof which allows for the smooth, uniform deposition on an electrode, substrate surface and/or previously-deposited layers.
It can also be an object of this invention to provide an electroluminescent medium having a hybrid structure and where one or more of the layers is applied by a spin-coat or vapor deposition technique to one or more self-assembled conductive layers.
Other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from this summary of the invention and its descriptions of various preferred embodiments, and will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art having knowledge of various electroluminescent devices and assembly/production techniques. Such objects, features, benefits and advantages will be apparent from the above as taken into conjunction with the accompanying examples, data, figures and all reasonable inferences to be drawn therefrom, alone or with consideration of the references incorporated herein.
This invention describes, in part, a new route to the fabrication of light-emitting organic multilayer heterojunction devices, useful for both large and small, multicolored display applications. As described more fully below, electron and hole transporting layers, as well as the emissive layer, as well as any other additional layers, are applied, developed and/or modified by molecular self-assembly techniques. As such, the invention can provide precise control over the thickness of a luminescent medium or the conductive layers which make up such a medium, as well as provide maximum light generation efficiency. Use of the present invention provides strong covalent bonds between the constituent molecular components, such that the mechanical, thermal, chemical and/or photochemical stability of such media and/or conductive layers, as can be used with an electroluminescent device, are enhanced. The use of such components also promotes conformal surface coverage to prevent cracks and pinhole deformities.
More specifically, the siloxane self-assembly techniques described herein allow for the construction of molecule-based electroluminescent media and devices. As described more fully below, various molecular components can be utilized to control the thickness dimension of the luminescent media and/or conductive layers. Nanometer dimensions can be obtained, with self-sealing, conformal coverage. The resulting covalent, hydrophobic siloxane network imparts considerable mechanical strength, as well as enhancing the resistance of such media and/or devices to dielectric breakdown, moisture intrusion, and other degradative processes.
In part, the present invention is an electroluminescent article or device which includes (1) an anode, (2) a plurality of molecular conductive layers where one of the layers is coupled to the anode with silicon-oxygen bonds and each of the layers is coupled one to another with silicon-oxygen bonds, and (3) a cathode in the electrical contact with the conductive layers. More generally and within the scope of this invention, an anode is separated from a cathode by an organic luminescent medium. The anode and the cathode are connected to an external power source by conductors. The power source can be a continuous direct, alternating or an intermittent current voltage source. A convenient conventional power source, including any desired switching circuitry, which is capable of positively biasing the anode with respect to the cathode, can be employed. Either the anode or cathode can be at ground potential.
The conductive layers can include but are limited to a hole transport layer, a hole injection layer, an electron transport layer and an emissive layer. Under forward biasing conditions, the anode is at a higher potential than the cathode, and the anode injects holes (positive charge carriers) into the conductive layers and/or luminescent medium while the cathode injects electrons therein. The portion of the layers/medium adjacent to the anode forms a hole injecting and/or transporting zone while the portion of the layers/medium adjacent to the cathode forms an electron injecting and/or transporting zone. The injected holes and electrons each migrate toward the oppositely charged electrode, resulting in hole-electron interaction within the organic luminescent medium of conductive layers. A migrating electron drops from its conduction potential to a valence band in filling a hole to release energy as light. In such a manner, the organic luminescent layers/medium between the electrodes performs as a luminescent zone receiving mobile charge carriers from each electrode. Depending upon the construction of the article/device, the released light can be emitted from the luminescent conductive layers/medium through one or more of edges separating the electrodes, through the anode, through the cathode, or through any combination thereof. See, U.S. Pat. No. 5,409,783 and, in particular cols. 4-6 and FIG. 1 thereof, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. As would be understood by those skilled in the art, reverse biasing of the electrodes will reverse the direction of mobile charge migration, interrupt charge injection, and terminate light emission. Consistent with the prior art, the present invention contemplates a forward biasing DC power source and reliance on external current interruption or modulation to regulate light emission.
As demonstrated and explained below, it is possible to maintain a current density compatible with efficient light emission while employing a relatively low voltage across the electrodes by limiting the total thickness of the organic luminescent medium to nanometer dimensions. At the molecular dimensions possible through use of this invention, an applied voltage of less than about 10 volts is sufficient for efficient light emission. As discussed more thoroughly herein, the thickness of the organic luminescent conductive layers/medium can be designed to control and/or determine the wavelength of emitted light, as well as reduce the applied voltage and/or increase in the field potential.
Given the nanometer dimensions of the organic luminescent layers/medium, light is usually emitted through one of the two electrodes. The electrode can be formed as a translucent or transparent coating, either on the organic layer/medium or on a separate translucent or transparent support. The layer/medium thickness is constructed to balance light transmission (or extinction) and electrical conductance (or resistance). Other considerations relating to the design, construction and/or structure of such articles or devices are as provided in the above referenced U.S. Pat. No. 5,409,783, such considerations as would be modified in accordance with the molecular conductive layers and assembly methods of the present invention.
In preferred embodiments, the conductive layers have molecular components, and each molecular component has at least two silicon moieties. In highly preferred embodiments, each silicon moiety is a halogenated or alkoxylated silane and silicon-oxygen bonds are obtainable from the condensation of the silane moieties with hydroxy functionalities. In preferred embodiments, the present invention employs an anode with a substrate having a hydroxylated surface portion. The surface portion is transparent to near-IR and visible wavelengths of light. In such highly preferred embodiments the hydroxylated surface portions include SiO2, In2.xSnO2, Ge and Si, among other such materials.
In conjunction with anodes and the hydroxylated surface portions thereof, the conductive layers include molecular components, and each molecular component has at least two silicon moieties. As discussed above, in such embodiments, each silicon moiety is a halogenated or alkoxylated silane, and silicon-oxygen bonds are obtainable from the condensation of the silane moieties with hydroxy functionalities which can be on a surface portion of an anode. Consistent with such preferred embodiments, a cathode is in electrical contact with the conductive layers. In highly preferred embodiments, the cathode is vapor deposited on the conductive layers, and constructed of a material including Al, Mg, Ag, Au, In, Ca and alloys thereof.
In part, the present invention is a method of producing a light-emitting diode having enhanced stability and light generation efficiency. The method includes (1) providing an anode with a hydroxylated surface; (2) coupling the surface to a hole transport layer having a plurality of molecular components, with each component having at least two silicon moieties reactive with the surface, with coupling of one of the silicon moieties to form silicon-oxygen bonds between the surface and the hole transport layer; (3) coupling the hole transport layer to an electron transport layer, the electron transport layer having a plurality of molecular components with each of the components having at least two silicon moieties reactive with the hole transport layer, with the coupling of one of the silicon moieties to form silicon-oxygen bonds between the hole and electron transport layers; and (4) contacting the electron transport layer with a cathode material.
In preferred embodiments of this method, the hole transport layer includes a hole injecting zone of molecular components and a hole transporting zone of molecular components. Likewise, in preferred embodiments, each silicon moiety is a halogenated or alkoxylated silane such that, with respect to this embodiment, coupling the hole transport layer to the electron transport layer further includes hydrolyzing the halogenated or alkoxylated silane. Likewise, with respect to a halogenated or alkoxylated silane embodiment, contacting the electron transport layer with the cathode further includes hydrolyzing the silane.
In part, the present invention is a method of controlling the wavelength of light emitted from an electroluminescent device. The inventive method includes (1) providing in sequence a hole transport layer, an emissive layer and an electron transport layer to form a medium of organic luminescent layers; and (2) modifying the thickness dimension of at least one of the layers, each of the layers including molecular components corresponding to the layer and having at least two silicon moieties reactive to a hydroxy functionality and the layers coupled one to another by Si—O bonds, the modification by reaction of the corresponding molecular components one to another to form Si—O bonds between the molecular components, and the modification in sequence of the provision of the layers.
In preferred embodiments of this inventive method, at least one silicon moiety is unreacted after reaction with a hydroxy functionality. In highly preferred embodiments, modification then includes hydrolyzing the unreacted silicon moiety of one of the molecular components to form a hydroxysilyl functionality and condensing the hydroxysilyl functionality with a silicon moiety of another molecular component to form a siloxane bond sequence between the molecular components.
In highly preferred embodiments, the silicon moieties are halogenated or alkoxylated silane moieties. Such embodiments include modifying the thickness dimension by hydrolyzing the unreacted silane moiety of one of the molecular components to form a hydroxysilyl functionality and condensing the hydroxysilyl functionality with a silane moiety of another molecular component to form a siloxane bond sequence between the molecular components.
While the organic luminescent conductive layers/medium of this invention can be described as having a single organic hole injecting or transporting layer and a single electron injecting or transporting layer, modification of each of these layers with respect to dimensional thickness or into multiple layers, as more specifically described below, can result in further refinement or enhancement of device performance by way of the light emitted therefrom. When multiple electron injecting and transporting layers are present, the layer receiving holes is the layer in which hole-electron interaction occurs, thereby forming the luminescent or emissive layer of the device.
The articles/devices of this invention can emit light through either the cathode or the anode. Where emission is through the cathode, the anode need not be light transmissive. Transparent anodes can be formed of selected metal oxides or a combination of metal oxides having a suitably high work function. Preferred metal oxides have a work function of greater than 4 electron volts (eV). Suitable anode metal oxides can be chosen from among the high (>4 eV) work function materials. A transparent anode can also be formed of a transparent metal oxide layer on a support or as a separate foil or sheet.
The devices/articles of this invention can employ a cathode constructed of any metal, including any high or low work function metal, heretofore taught to be useful for this purpose and as further elaborated in that portion of the incorporated patent referenced in the preceding paragraph. As mentioned therein, fabrication, performance, and stability advantages can be realized by forming the cathode of a combination of a low work function (<4 eV) metal and at least one other metal. Available low work function metal choices for the cathode are listed in cols. 19-20 of the aforementioned incorporated patent, by periods of the Periodic Table of Elements and categorized into 0.5 eV work function groups. All work functions provided therein are from Sze, Physics of Semiconductor Devices, Wiley, New York, 1969, p. 366.
A second metal can be included in the cathode to increase storage and operational stability. The second metal can be chosen from among any metal other than an alkali metal. The second metal can itself be a low work function metal and thus be chosen from the above-referenced list and having a work function of less than 4 eV. To the extent that the second metal exhibits a low work function it can, of course, supplement the first metal in facilitating electron injection.
Alternatively, the second metal can be chosen from any of the various metals having a work function greater than 4 eV. These metals include elements resistant to oxidation and, therefore, those more commonly fabricated as metallic elements. To the extent the second metal remains invariant in the article or device, it can contribute to the stability. Available higher work function (4 eV or greater) metal choices for the cathode are listed in lines 50-69 of col. 20 and lines 1-15 of col. 21 of the aforementioned incorporated patent, by periods of the Periodic Table of Elements and categorized into 0.5 eV work function groups.
As described more fully in U.S. Pat. No. 5,156,918 which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, the electrodes and/or substrates of this invention have, preferably, a surface with polar reactive groups, such as a hydroxyl (—OH) group. Materials suitable for use with or as electrodes and/or substrates for anchoring the conductive layers and luminescent media of this invention should conform to the following requirements: any solid material exposing a high energy (polar) surface to which layer-forming molecules can bind. These may include: metals, metal oxides such as SiO2, TiO2, MgO, and Al2O3 (sapphire), semiconductors, glasses, silica, quartz, salts, organic and inorganic polymers, organic and inorganic crystals and the like.
Inorganic oxides (in the form of crystals or thin films) are especially preferred because oxides yield satisfactory hydrophilic metal hydroxyl groups on the surface upon proper treatment. These hydroxyl groups react readily with a variety of silyl coupling reagents to introduce desired coupling functionalities that can in turn facilitate the introduction of other organic components.
The physical and chemical nature of the anode materials dictates specific cleaning procedures to improve the utility of this invention. Alkaline processes (NaOH aq.) are generally used. This process will generate a fresh hydroxylated surface layer on the substrates while the metal oxide bond on the surface is cleaved to form vicinal hydroxyl groups. High surface hydroxyl densities on the anode surface can be obtained by sonicating the substrates in an aqueous base bath. The hydroxyl groups on the surface will anchor and orient any of the molecular components/agents described herein. As described more fully below, molecules such as organosilanes with hydrophilic functional groups can orient to form the conductive layers.
Other considerations relating to the design, material choice and construction of electrodes and/or substrates useful with this invention are as provided in the above referenced and incorporated U.S. Pat. No. 5,409,783 and in particular cols. 21-23 thereof, such considerations as would be modified by those skilled in the art in accordance with the molecular conductive layers, and assembly methods and objects of the present invention.
The conductive layers and/or organic luminescent medium of the devices/articles of this invention preferably contain at least two separate layers, at least one layer for transporting electrons injected from the cathode and at least one layer for transporting holes injected from the anode. As is more specifically taught in U.S. Pat. No. 4,720,432, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, the latter is in turn preferably at least two layers, one in contact with the anode, providing a hole injecting zone and a layer between the hole injecting zone and the electron transport layer, providing a hole transporting zone. While several preferred embodiments of this invention are described as employing at least three separate organic layers, it will be appreciated that either the layer forming the hole injecting zone or the layer forming the hole transporting zone can be omitted and the remaining layer will perform both functions. However, enhanced initial and sustained performance levels of the articles or devices of this invention can be realized when separate hole injecting and hole transporting layers are used in combination.
Porphyrinic and phthalocyanic compounds of the type described in cols. 11-15 of the referenced/incorporated U.S. Pat. No. 5,409,783 can be used to form the hole injecting zone. In particular, the phthalocyanine structure shown in column 11 is representative, particularly where X can be, but is not limited to, an alkyltrichlorosilane, alkyltrialkoxysilane, dialkyldialkoxysilane, or dialkyldichlorosilane functionality and where the alkyl and alkoxy groups can contain 1-6 carbon atoms or is hydrogen. Preferred porphyrinic compounds are represented by the structure shown in col. 14 and where R, T1 and T2 can be but are not limited to an alkyltrichlorosilane, alkyltrialkoxysilane, dialkyldialkoxysilane, or dialkyldichlorosilane functionality and where the alkyl and alkoxy groups contain 1-6 carbon atoms or is hydrogen. (See, also,
The hole transporting layer is preferably one which contains at least one tertiary aromatic amine, examples of which are as described in
Molecular components of this invention comprising emissive agents and/or the emissive layer include those described herein in
Other components which can be used as emissive agents include without limitation anthracene, naphthalene, phenanthrene, pyrene, chrysene, perylene and other fused ring compounds, or as provided in col. 17 of the previously referenced and incorporated U.S. Pat. No. 5,409,783, such compounds as modified in accordance with this invention and as more fully described above. Modifiable components also include those described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,172,862, 3,173,050 and 3,710,167—all of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
Molecular components which can be utilized as electron injecting or electron transport agents and/or in conjunction with an electron injection or electron transport layer are as described in
As described above, inorganic silicon moieties can be used in conjunction with the various molecular components, agents, conductive layers and/or capping layers. In particular, silane moieties can be used with good effect to impart mechanical, thermal, chemical and/or photochemical stability to the luminescent medium and/or device. Such moieties are especially useful in conjunction with the methodology described herein. Degradation is minimized until further synthetic modification is desired. Hydrolysis of an unreacted silicon/silane moiety provides an Si—OH functionality reactive with a silicon/silane moiety of another component, agent and/or conductive layer. Hydrolysis proceeds quickly in quantitative yield, as does a subsequent condensation reaction with an unreacted silicon/silane moiety of another component to provide a siloxane bond sequence between components, agents and/or conductive layers.
In general, the molecular agents/components in
It has been observed previously that the performance characteristics of electroluminescent articles of the type described herein can be enhanced by the incorporation of a layer having a dielectric function between the anode and, for instance, a hole transport layer. Previous studies show that the vapor deposition of thin layers of LiF onto an anode before deposition of the other layer(s) improves performance in the areas of luminescence and quantum efficiency. However, this technique is limited in that the deposited LiF films are rough, degrade in air and do not form comformal, pinhole-free coatings.
The present invention is also directed to the application of self-assembly techniques to form layers which cap an electrode, provide dielectric and other functions and/or enhance performance relative to the prior art. Such capping layers are self-assembled films which are conformal in their coverage, can have dimensions less than one nanometer and can be deposited with a great deal of control over the total layer thickness. Accordingly, the present invention also includes an electroluminescent article or device which includes (1) an anode, (2) at least one molecular capping layer coupled to the anode with silicon-oxygen bonds, with each capping layer coupled one to another with silicon-oxygen bonds, (3) a plurality of molecular conductive layers, with one of the layers coupled to the capping layer with silicon-oxygen bonds and each conductive layer coupled one to another with silicon-oxygen bonds, and (4) a cathode in electric contact with a conductive layer. Likewise, and in accordance with this invention, the capping layer can be deposited on a conductive layer and/or otherwise introduced so as to be adjacent to a cathode, to enhance overall performance.
More generally and within the scope of this invention, the anode is separated from the cathode by an organic luminescent medium. The anode and cathode are connected to an external power source by conductors. The power source can be a continuous direct, alternating or intermittent current voltage source. A convenient conventional power source, including any desired switching circuitry, which is capable of positively biasing the anode with respect to the cathode, can be employed. Either the anode or cathode can be at ground potential.
In preferred embodiments, each conductive and/or capping layer has molecular components, and each molecular component has at least two silicon moieties. In highly preferred embodiments, each such conductive and/or capping component is a halogenated or alkoxylated silane, and silicon-oxygen bonds are obtainable from the condensation of the silane moieties with hydroxy functionalities. Without limitation, a preferred capping material is octachlorotrisiloxane. The anode and cathode can be chosen and/or constructed as otherwise described herein.
In part, the present invention is a method of using molecular dimension to control the forward light output of an electroluminescent device. The inventive method includes (1) providing an electrode and a molecular layer thereon, the layer coupled to the electrode with first molecular components having at least two silicon moieties reactive to a hydroxy functionality; and (2) modifying the thickness of the layer by reacting the molecular components with second components to form a siloxane bond sequence between the first and second molecular components, the second molecular components having at least two silicon moieties also reactive to a hydroxy functionality.
In preferred embodiments of this inventive method, at least one silicon moiety is unreacted after reaction with a hydroxy functionality. In highly preferred embodiments, the modification further includes hydrolyzing an unreacted silicon moiety of one of the molecular components to form a hydroxysilyl functionality and condensing the hydroxysilyl functionality with a silicon moiety of a third molecular component to form a siloxane bond sequence between the second and third molecular components. In highly preferred embodiments, the silicon moieties are halogenated or alkoxylated silane moieties.
In part, the present invention also includes any electroluminescent article for generating light upon application of an electrical potential across two electrodes. Such an article includes an electrode having a surface portion and a molecular layer coupled and/or capped thereon. The layer includes molecular components, and each component has at least two silicon moieties. The layer is coupled to the electrode with silicon-oxygen bonds. In preferred embodiments, each silicon moiety is a halogenated silane, and silicon-oxygen bonds are obtained from a condensation reaction. Likewise, and without limitation, the electrode has a substrate with a hydroxylated surface portion transparent to near-IR and visible wavelengths of light. Such a layer can be utilized to cap the electrode and/or enhance performance as otherwise described herein. More generally, in such an article or any other described herein, the luminescent medium can be constructed using either the self-assembly techniques described herein or the materials and techniques of the prior art.
The electroluminescent devices and related methods of this invention can demonstrate various interlayer/interfacial phenomena through choice of layer/molecular components and design of the resulting electroluminescent medium. As a point of reference, a number of cathode and anode interfacial structures can enhance charge injection, hence device performance. For instance, with vapor-deposited, anode/TPD (N,N′-diphenyl-N,N-bis(3-methylphenyl)-(1,1′-biphenyl)-4,4′-diamine)/Alq (tris(quinoxalinato)Al(III))/cathode devices of the prior art, a dramatic increase in light output and quantum efficiency occurs when Å-scale LiF or CsF layers are interposed between the cathode and electron transport layer (ETL). Such thin dielectric layers are thought to lower the Al work function, thus reducing the effective electron injection barrier (energy level offset between the Alq LUMO and the Al Fermi level).
In contrast, modification of the ITO anode—hole transport layer (HTL) interface is somewhat more controllable, although similar mechanistic uncertainties pertain. Thus, a variety of ITO functionalization approaches produce phenomenologically similar effects, although less dramatic than those observed for the interposition of alkali fluoride at Al cathodes. These approaches include deposition onto ITO of nanoscale layers of various organic acids, copper phthalocyanine, or thicker (30-100 nm) layers of polyaniline or polythiophene (PEDOT), all resulting in somewhat enhanced luminous performance. Explanations for these phenomena are diverse, ranging from altering interfacial electric fields, balancing electron/hole injection fluence, confining electrons in the emissive layer, reducing injected charge back-scattering, and moderating anode Fermi level-HTL HOMO energetic discontinuities. This diversity of proposed mechanisms accurately reflects the complexity of interactions at OLED interfaces and, in many cases, the lack of necessary microstructural information.
In a departure from the prior art, the present invention can be considered in the context of one or more structural relationships between an OLED anode and/or its associated organic layers. Without restriction to any one theory or mode of operation, moderation of the surface energy mismatch can be effected at a hydrophilic oxide anode-hydrophobic HTL interface, as demonstrated below using nanoscopic self-assembled silyl group functionalized amine components (see, for example,
Accordingly, in its broader respects, the present invention contemplates a method of using an amine molecular component to enhance hole injection across the electrode-organic interface of a light emitting diode device. The inventive method includes (1) providing an anode; and (2) incorporating an electroluminescent medium adjacent the anode, the medium including but not limited to a molecular layer, coupled to the anode, of amine molecular components substituted with at least one silyl group, and thereon a hole transport layer of molecular components having the amine structure of the aforementioned molecular layer components. The molecular layer can have at least one of an arylamine component and an arylalkylamine component, including but not limited to those monoarylamine, diarylamine and triarylamine components described in the aforementioned and incorporated U.S. Pat. No. 5,409,783, modified and/or silyl-functionalized as provided herein. Other suitable arylamine and/or arylalkylamine structures are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,180,730, 3,567,450 and 3,658,520, each of which is incorporated herein in its entirety, such structures as can also be modified to provide silyl-functionality in accordance herewith. Likewise, a combination of such silyl-substituted components can be employed with beneficial effect.
In preferred embodiments of this inventive method, the aforementioned amine molecular layer components are alkylsilyl-substituted compounds of the type illustrated in
As such, the present invention also includes an organic electroluminescent device for generating light upon application of an electrical potential cross to electrodes. Such a device includes (1) an anode; (2) at least one molecular layer, coupled to the anode, of one or more of the aforementioned amine molecular components substituted with at least one silyl group; (3) a conductive layer of molecular components having the amine structure; and (4) a cathode in electrical contact with the anode. A preferred conductive layer includes a hole transport layer comprising components of the prior art incorporated herein by reference, or modified as described above. Preferred molecular layer components are alkylsilyl-substituted compounds of the type illustrated in
As demonstrated herein, hydrophobic amine HTL—hydrophilic anode integrity is a factor in OLED performance; poor physical cohesion contributes to inefficient hole injection and ultimately, device failure. Enhanced performance can be achieved through use of molecular layer structures which maximize interfacial cohesion and charge transport. With reference to one preferred embodiment, a conveniently applied, spincoated silyl (Si) functionalized TPD analogue, TPD-Si2 (
The densely crosslinked nature of TPD-Si2 molecular layer films is evident in the relatively large separation of oxidative and reductive peaks (200 mV), suggesting kinetically hindered oxidation/reduction processes with retarded counterion mobility. P. E. Smolenyak, E. J. Osburn, S. -Y. Chen, L. -K. Chau, D. F. O'Brian, N. R. Armstrong, Langmuir 1997, 21, 6568. That TPD-Si2 film coverage on ITO is conformal and largely pinhole-free is supported by studies using a previously described ferrocene probe technique. W. Li, Q. Wang, J. Cui, H. Chou, T. J. Marks, G. E. Jabbour, S. E. Shaheen, B. Kippelen, N. Pegyhambarian, P. Dutta, A. J. Richter, J. Anderson, P. Lee, N. Armstrong, Adv. Mater. 1999, 11, 730. The lack of significant current flow near the formal potential for ferrocene oxidation at a TPD-Si2-coated ITO working electrode indicates suppression of ferrocene oxidation, consistent with largely pinhole-free surface coverage.

The following non-limiting examples and data illustrate various aspects and features relating to the articles/devices and/or methods of the present invention, including the assembly of a luminescent medium having various molecular components/agents and/or conductive layers, as are available through the synthetic methodology described herein. In comparison with the prior art, the present methods and articles/devices provide results and data which are surprising, unexpected and contrary to the prior art. While the utility of this invention is illustrated through the use of several articles/devices and molecular components/agents/layers which can be used therewith, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that comparable results are obtainable with various other articles/devices and components/agents/layers, as are commensurate with the scope of this invention.
Synthesis of a Silanated Hole Transport Agent [1]. With reference to reaction scheme, above, hole transport components, agents and/or layers can be prepared, in accordance with this invention and/or for use in conjunction with light-emitting diodes and other similar electroluminescent devices. Accordingly, 500 mg. (1.0 mmole) of trisbromophenylamine (Aldrich Chemical Company) was dissolved in 30 ml of dry dimethoxyethane (DME). This solution was cooled to −45° C. and 1.2 ml (3.3 mmole) of a 2.5 M solution of n-butyl lithium in hexane was added to the reaction mixture. The entire mixture was then slowly warmed to 20° C. After stirring at 20° C. for an additional hour, the solvent was removed in vacuo. The resulting white precipitate was washed (3×20 ml) with dry pentane and redissolved in 30 ml dry DME. This solution was subsequently poured into 10 ml (87 mmole) of silicon tetrachloride at a rate of 1 ml/min. The entire reaction mixture was then refluxed for two hours. The resulting supernatent was separated from the precipitate, and the solvent again removed in vacuo yielding a green-brown residue. A white solid was obtained from this residue upon sublimation at 10−6 torr. Characterization: 1H NMR (600 MHz, C6D6, 20° C.): δ 7.07 (d, 6H, Ar-H); δ 7.05 (d, 6H, Ar-H); EI-MS (m/z): 645 (M+).

Using the arylamines of Examples 6 and with reference to
This example of the invention shows how slides can be prepared/cleaned prior to use as or with electrode materials. An indium-tin-oxide (ITO)-coated soda lime glass (Delta Technologies) was boiled in a 20% aqueous solution of ethanolamine for 5 minutes, rinsed with copious amounts of distilled water and dried for 1 hour at 120° C.; alternatively and with equal effect, an ITO-coated soda lime glass (Delta Technologies) was sonicated in 0.5M KOH for 20 minutes, rinsed with copious amounts of distilled water and then ethanol, and dried for 1 hour at 120° C.
Electroluminescent Article Fabrication and Use. The freshly cleaned ITO-coated slides were placed in a 1% aqueous solution of 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane and then agitated for 5 minutes. These coated slides were then rinsed with distilled water and cured for 1 hour at 120° C. The slides were subsequently placed in a 1% toluene solution of [7] (or [8] from Example 6) and stirred for 18 hours under ambient conditions. Afterwards, the slides were washed with toluene and cured for 15 minutes at 120° C. AlQ3 (or GaQ3; Q=quinoxalate) was vapor deposited on top of the amine-coated slides. Finally, 750-1000 Å of aluminum was vapor deposited over the metal quinolate layer. Wires were attached to the Al and ITO layers using silver conducting epoxy (CircuitWorks™), and when a potential (<7V) was applied, red, orange, and/or green light was emitted from the device.
One or more capping layers comprising Cl3SiOSiCl2OSiCl3 are successively deposited onto clean ITO-coated glass where hydrolysis of the deposited material followed by thermal curing/crosslinking in air at 125° C. yields a thin (˜7.8 Å) layer of material on the ITO surface. X-ray reflectivity measurements indicate that the total film thickness increases linearly with repeated layer deposition, as seen in
Cyclic voltametry measurements shown in
Conventional organic electroluminescent devices consisting of TPD (600 Å)/Alq (600 Å)/Mg (2000 Å) were vapor-deposited on ITO substrates modified with the capping material specified in Example 8.
This example illustrates how a capping material can be introduced to and/or used in the construction of an electroluminescent article. ITO-coated glass substrates were cleaned by sonication in acetone for 1 hour followed by sonication in methanol for 1 hour. The dried substrates were then reactively ion etched in an oxygen plasma for 30 seconds. Cleaned substrates were placed in a reaction vessel and purged with nitrogen. A suitable silane, for instance a 24 mM solution of octachlorotrisiloxane in heptane, was added to the reaction vessel in a quantity sufficient to totally immerse the substrates. (Other such compounds include those described in Example 8). Substrates were allowed to soak in the solution under nitrogen for 30 minutes. Following removal of the siloxane solution the substrates were washed and sonicated in freshly distilled pentane followed by a second pentane wash under nitrogen. Substrates were then removed from the reaction vessel washed and sonicated in acetone. Substrates were dried in air at 125° C. for 15 minutes. This process can be repeated to form a capping layer of precisely controlled thickness.
The stability of device-type TPD-Si2 molecular layer/TPD hole transport layer interfaces under thermal stress (one measure of durability) was investigated by annealing ITO/TPD-Si2 (40 nm)/TPD (100 nm) bilayers at 80° C. for 1.0 h. The optical image of the annealed TPD film shows no evidence of TPD de-wetting/decohesion (
Speculation that one role of Cu(Pc) in enhancing OLED performance might be via the above adhesion mechanism led to parallel thermal studies. In contrast to a preferred alkylsilyl-substituted arylamine TPD-Si2, Cu(Pc)-buffered ITO does not prevent TPD de-cohesion upon heating to temperatures near/above the TPD glass transition temperature (Tg).
Device characteristics employing spincoated TAA, TPD-Si2, and vapor-deposited Cu(Pc) hole injection layer/adhesion layers in OLEDs having the structure ITO/interlayer/TPD/Alq/Al are compared in
With reference to
These findings argue that promotion of ITO-TPD interfacial contact/adhesion leads to more efficient hole injection due to reduced interfacial contact resistance. This hypothesis was tested by examining characteristics of hole-only devices having the structure ITO/molecular interlayer/TPD (250 nm)/Au (6 nm)/Al (80 nm), in which electron injection at the cathode is blocked. Here the Au layer is deposited by rf-sputtering to avoid excessive heating of the TPD underlayer. The hole injection capacity falls in the order TPD-Si2≧TAA>Cu(Pc)>bare ITO (
To examine cohesion and crystallization effects on device durability, thermal stress tests were carried out on devices based on bare ITO, having a 10 nm Cu(Pc) interlayer, and having a 40 nm TPD-Si2 interlayer. These were subjected to heating at 95° C. for 0.5 h in vacuum and subsequently examined for changes in luminous response. The irreversible degradation of the bare ITO and Cu(Pc)-based devices upon heating at 95° C. for 0.5 h (
The results of this and several preceding examples, demonstrate that a spincoated, hole injecting TPD-Si2 layer can significantly increase maximum OLED device luminence (˜100×) and quantum efficiency (˜6×) by promoting ITO-TPD interfacial cohesion, hence promoting more efficient hole injection. Devices having a TPD-Si2 anode adhesion layer afford a maximum luminance level of 15,000 cd/m2 in absence of dopants or low work function cathodes, while exhibiting excellent thermal stability. In addition, the same results demonstrate that Cu(Pc) interlayers nucleate TPD crystallization upon heating above the Tg of TPD

With reference to Examples 19-21, a wide variety of arylalkylamine molecular components and their silyl-functionalized analogs can be prepared using straight-forward modifications of the synthetic techniques described herein. For instance, with reference to Example 19, diphenylbenzidene can be mono- or dialkylated with the appropriate haloalkyl reagent to provide the desired arylalkylamine hole transport layer component. As would also be well known to those skilled in the art made aware of this invention, the corresponding silyl-functionalized molecular layer component can be prepared via mono- or dialkylation with the appropriate dihaloalkyl reagent followed by subsequent silation, adopting the procedures illustrated in Examples 20 and 21. Accordingly, by way of further example, the alkylated mono- and diarylamine components, discussed above, and their silyl-functionalized analogs can be prepared to provide the structurally-related molecular and hole transport layers of this invention, and the enhanced performance and/or hole injection resulting therefrom.
TPD-Si2 and TAA Thin Film Deposition and Characterization. Indium tin oxide (ITO) glass sheets with a resistance of 20Ω/□ from Donnelly Corp. were subjected to a standard literature cleaning procedure. TAA and TPD-Si2-based buffer layers were spincoated onto cleaned ITO surfaces from their respective toluene solutions (10 mg/mL) at 2 Krpm, followed by curing in moist air at 110° C. for 15 min. Cyclic voltammetry of spincoated TPD-Si2 films on ITO was performed with a BAS 100 electrochemical workstation (scan rate, 100 mV/s; Ag wire pseudo-reference electrode, Pt wire counter electrode, supporting electrolyte, 0.1 M TBAHFP in anhydrous MeCN). For TPD-Si2 film contiguity assessment, 1.0 mM ferrocene in 0.1 M TBAHFP/MeCN was used as the probe. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was carried out on an SDT 2960 DTA-TGA instrument with a scan rate of 10° C./min under N2. TGA sample preparation involved drop-coating a TPD-Si2 solution in toluene (10 mM) onto clean glass substrates under ambient conditions. Following solvent evaporation, the TPD-Si2-coated slides were cured at 120° C. for 1 h. Upon cooling, the films were detached from the glass substrates using a razor blade and collected as powders for TGA characterization.
ITO/Buffer Layer/TPD Interfacial Stability Studies. TPD de-cohesion analysis of the interfacial structures ITO/buffer layer/TPD (100 nm) (spincoated TPD-Si2, spincoated TAA, vapor-deposited Cu(Pc)) were carried out in the following manner. Following vapor deposition of 50-100 nm TPD films onto the respective buffer layer-coated ITO substrates, the samples were annealed at 80-100° C. under N2 for 1.0 h, and the film morphology subsequently imaged by optical microscopy and AFM.
OLED Device Fabrication. OLED devices of the structure: ITO/interlayer/TPD (50 nm)/Alq (60 nm)/Al (100 nm) were fabricated using standard vacuum deposition procedures (twin evaporators interfaced to a <1 ppm O2 glove box facility). Deposition rates for organic and metal were 2-4 Å/sec and 1-2 Å/sec respectively, at 1×10−6 Torr. The OLED devices were characterized inside a sealed aluminum sample container under N2 using instrumentation described elsewhere. J. Cui, Q. Huang, Q. Wang, T. J. Marks, Langmuir 2001, 17, 2051; W. Li, Q. Wang, J. Cui, H. Chou, T. J. Marks, G. E. Jabbour, S. E. Shaheen, B. Kippelen, N. Pegyhambarian, P. Dutta, A. J. Richter, J. Anderson, P. Lee, N. Armstrong, Adv. Mater. 1999, 11, 730.
