Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a novel organic metal complex derivative and an organic light emitting device using the same.


This application is a national phase application of PCT Application No. PCT/KR008/003308, filed on Jun. 12, 2008, which claims priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2007-0057103, filed on Jun. 12, 2007. Both PCT/KR2008/003308 and 10-2007-0057103 are hereby incorporated herein by reference for all purposes in their entirety.


BACKGROUND ART

In general, the term “organic light emitting phenomenon” refers to a phenomenon in which electric energy is converted to light energy by means of an organic material. The organic light emitting device using the organic light emitting phenomenon has a structure usually comprising an anode, a cathode and an organic material layer interposed therebetween. Herein, the organic material layer may be mostly formed in a multilayer structure comprising layers of different materials, for example, a hole injecting layer, a hole transporting layer, a light emitting layer, an electron transporting layer, an electron injecting layer and the like, in order to improve efficiency and stability of the organic light emitting device. In the organic light emitting device having such a structure, when a voltage is applied between two electrodes, holes from the anode and electrons from a cathode are injected into the organic material layer, the holes and the electrons injected are combined together to form excitons. Further, when the excitons drop to a ground state, lights are emitted. Such the organic light emitting device is known to have characteristics such as self-luminescence, high brightness, high efficiency, low drive voltage, wide viewing angle, high contrast, and high-speed response.


The materials used for the organic material layer of the organic light emitting device can be classified into a light emitting material and a charge transporting material, for example, a hole injecting material, a hole transporting material, an electron transporting material, and an electron injecting material, according to their functions. The light emitting material can be classified into a high molecular weight type and a low molecular weight type, according to their molecular weight, and divided into a fluorescent material from singlet excited states and a phosphorescent material from triplet excited states according to their light emitting mechanism. Further, the light emitting material can be classified into a blue, green, or red light emitting material and a yellow or orange light emitting material required for giving more natural color, according to a light emitting color.


On the other hand, an efficiency of a device is lowered owing to maximum luminescence wavelength moved to a longer wavelength due to the interaction between the molecules, the deterioration of color purity and the reduction in light emitting efficiency when only one material is used for the light emitting material, and therefore a host/dopant system can be used as the light emitting material for the purpose of enhancing the color purity and the light emitting efficiency through energy transfer. It is based on the principle that if a small amount of a dopant having a smaller energy band gap than a host which forms a light emitting layer, excitons which are generated in the light emitting layer are transported to the dopant, thus emitting a light having a high efficiency. Here, since the wavelength of the host is moved according to the wavelength of the dopant, a light having a desired wavelength can be obtained according the kind of the dopant.


In order to allow the organic light emitting device to fully exhibit the above-mentioned excellent characteristics, a material constituting the organic material layer in the device, for example, a hole injecting material, a hole transporting material, a light emitting material, an electron transporting material, and an electron injecting material should be essentially composed of a stable and efficient material. However, the development of a stable and efficient organic material layer material for the organic light emitting device has not yet been fully realized. Accordingly, the development of new materials is continuously desired. The development of such a material is equally required to the above-mentioned other organic electronic devices.

The organic metal complex derivative represented by Formula 1 of the present invention can be used due to its structural property as an organic material layer in an organic electronic device and organic light emitting device.


The organic metal complex derivative according to the present invention can be applied to the organic light emitting device by a typical preparation method of organic light emitting device.


In one embodiment of the present invention, the organic light emitting device has a structure comprising a first electrode, a second electrode, and organic material layers disposed therebetween, and can be prepared by using typical method and materials, except for using the organic metal complex derivative according to the present invention as the organic material layer of organic light emitting device. The structure of the Organic light emitting device according to the present invention is illustrated in FIGS. 2 to 6.


For example, the organic light emitting device according to the present invention can be prepared by depositing a metal, a metal oxide having conductivity, or an alloy thereof on a substrate using a PVD (physical vapor deposition) process such as sputtering and e-beam evaporation to form an anode; forming an organic material layer comprising a hole injecting layer, a hole transporting layer, a light emitting layer, and an electron transporting layer on the anode; and depositing a material, which can be used as a cathode, thereon. Alternatively, the organic light emitting device can be prepared by sequentially depositing a cathode material, an organic material layer, and an anode material on a substrate.


The organic material layer may be of a multilayer structure containing a hole injecting layer, a hole transporting layer, a light emitting layer, an electron transporting layer, and the like, but not limited thereto, and may be of a monolayer structure. Further, the organic material layer can be produced to have a fewer number of layers, by using a variety of polymeric materials, by means of a solvent process rather than a deposit process, such as spin coating, dip coating, doctor blading, screen printing, ink jet printing, and heat transfer processes.


The anode material is preferably a material having a large work function to facilitate hole injection usually to an organic material layer. Specific examples of the anode material which can be used in the present invention include metals such as vanadium, chromium, copper, zinc and gold, or an alloy thereof; metal oxides such as zinc oxide, indium oxide, indium-tin oxide (ITO), and indium zinc oxide (IZO); a combination of a metal and an oxide such as ZnO:Al and SnO2:Sb; conductive polymers such as poly(3-methylthiophene), poly[3,4-(ethylene-1,2-dioxy)thiophene] (PEDT), polypyrrole, and polyaniline, but not limited thereto.


The cathode material is preferably a material having a small work function to facilitate electron injection usually to an organic material layer. Specific examples of the cathode material include metals such as magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium, titanium, indium, yttrium, lithium, gadolinium, aluminum, silver, tin and lead, or an alloy thereof; multilayer structure materials such as LiF/Al and LiO2/Al, but not limited thereto.


Generally, the following materials can be used for a hole injecting material, a hole transporting material, a light emitting material, and electron transporting material.


The hole injecting material is a material facilitating hole injection from an anode at low voltage. The HOMO (highest occupied molecular orbital) level of the hole injecting material is preferably located between the work function of the anode materials and the HOMO level of its neighboring organic material layer. Specific examples of the hole injecting material include organic materials of metal porphyrin, oligothiophene, and arylamine series, organic materials of hexanitrile hexaazatriphenylene and quinacridone series, organic materials of perylene series, and conductive polymers of anthraquinone, polyaniline, and polythiophene series, but are not limited thereto.


The hole transporting material is preferably a material having high hole mobility, which can transfer holes from the anode or the hole injecting layer toward the light emitting layer. Specific examples thereof include organic materials of arylamine series, conductive polymers, and block copolymers having both conjugated portions and non-conjugated portions, but are not limited thereto.


The light emitting material are a material capable of emitting visible light by accepting and recombining holes from the hole transporting layer and electrons from the electron transporting layer, preferably a material having high quantum efficiency for fluorescence and phosphorescence. Specific examples thereof include 8-hydroxyquinoline aluminum complex (Alq3); compounds of carbazole series; dimerized styryl compounds; BAlq; 10-hydroxybenzoquinoline-metal compounds; compounds of benzoxazole, benzthiazole, and benzimidazole series; polymers of poly(p-phenylenevinylene) (PPV) series; spiro compounds; and compounds of polyfluorene and rubrene series, but are not limited thereto.


The electron transporting material is suitably a material having high electron mobility, which can transfer electrons from the cathode to the light emitting layer. Specific examples thereof include 8-hydroxyquinoline aluminum complex (Alq3); complexes including Alq3; organic radical compounds; and hydroxyflavone-metal complexes, but are not limited thereto.


The organic light emitting device according to the invention may be of a front-side, backside or double-sided light emission according to the materials used.


The compound according to the invention can function in an organic electronic device including an organic solar cell, an organic photoconductor, and an organic transistor, according to a principle similar to that applied to the organic light emitting device.


MODE FOR THE INVENTION

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail in light of Examples. The present invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the Examples set forth herein. Rather, these Examples are provided such that this disclosure will be thorough and complete and will fully convey the concept of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

1) Synthesis of Compound A


2-bromothiophene (1.7 g, 10.3 mmol) and phenylboronic acid (1.4 g, 11.4 mmol) were dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (20 mL), and then 2M K2CO3 (20 mL) was added thereto. Temperature was increased to 50° C., and then tetrabistriphenylphosphinopalladium (Pd(PPh3)4) (120 ng, 0.1 mmol) was added thereto, and temperature was increased to 65° C., followed by stirring for 4 hrs. Temperature was reduced to room temperature, and then an aqueous layer was removed. An organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate anhydride to remove residual water, and then filtered to remove magnesium sulfate anhydride. The solvent was completely removed from the organic layer by distillation under reduced pressure, and then hexane was added thereto at room temperature, followed by stirring for 10 min. The produced precipitate was filtered out, and the filtrate was cooled to −10° C., followed by slowly stirring for 1 hr. The produced precipitate was filtered out, and then the filtrate was dried under vacuum at room temperature to give a compound A (1.5 g) with a yield of 94%.


2) Synthesis of Compound B


The compound A (1.5 g, 9.4 mmol) was completely dissolved in chloroform (100 mL), and then N-bromosuccinimide (1.7 g, 9.4 mmol) was slowly added thereto, followed by stirring at room temperature for 30 min. The solvent was completely removed by distillation under reduced pressure, and then ethanol was added thereto at 0° C., followed by stirring for 20 min. The produced precipitate was filtered out, and then the filtrate was dried under vacuum at room temperature to give a compound B (2.2 g) with a yield of 100%.


3) Synthesis of Ligand 1


The compound B (2.2 g, 9.4 mmol) and 4-hydroxyphenylboronic acid (1.3 g, 9.4 mmol) were dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (90 mL), and then 2M K2CO3 (90 mL) was added thereto. Temperature was increased to 50° C., and then tetrabistriphenylphosphinopalladium (Pd(PPh3)4) (108 mg, 9.4×10−2 mmol) was added thereto, and temperature was increased to 65° C., followed by stirring for 1 hr. Temperature was reduced to room temperature, and then an aqueous layer was removed. An organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate anhydride to completely remove residual water, and then filtered. The solvent was completely removed from the filtrate by distillation under reduced pressure, and then the resultant was added to chloroform (100 mL), and stirred under heating for 1 hr. Temperature was reduced to room temperature, and filtered, dried to give a ligand 1 (1.8 g) with a yield of 76%.

Experimental Example 1

A glass substrate (Corning 7059 glass) on which a thin film of ITO (indium tin oxide) was coated to a thickness of 1000 Å was immersed in distilled water containing a detergent to wash the substrate with ultrasonic waves. At this time, the detergent was a product commercially available from Fisher Co. and the distilled water has been filtered previously by using a filter commercially available from Millipore Co. ITO was washed for 30 minutes, and then washing with ultrasonic waves was repeated twice for 10 minutes by using distilled water. After the completion of washing with distilled water, washing with ultrasonic waves was carried out by using solvents such as isopropyl alcohol, acetone and methanol.


On the ITO electrode thus prepared, the following hexanitrile hexaazatriphenylene (HAT) (500 Å) was vacuum-deposited to form a hole injecting layer.

On the electron transporting layer, lithium fluoride (LiF) and aluminum were sequentially vacuum-deposited to a thickness of 12 Å and 2000 Å respectively. A cathode was formed to prepare an organic light emitting device.


In the above process, the deposition rate of the organic material was maintained at 0.4 to 0.7 Å/sec and the deposition rates of lithium fluoride and aluminum of the cathode were maintained at 0.3 Å/sec and 2 Å/sec, respectively. The vacuum degree during deposition was maintained at 2×10−7˜5×10−8 torr.


When a forward electric field of 6.3 V was applied to the organic light emitting device as prepared above, red light emission of 12.1 cd/A was observed with x=0.66, and y=0.34 based on the 1931 CIE color coordinate at a current density of 25 mA/cm2


Comparative Example 1

A glass substrate (Corning 7059 glass) on which a thin film of ITO (indium tin oxide) was coated to a thickness of 1000 Å was immersed in distilled water containing a detergent to wash the substrate with ultrasonic waves. At this time, the detergent was a product commercially available from Fisher Co. and the distilled water has been filtered previously by using a filter commercially available from Millipore Co. ITO was washed for 30 minutes, and then washing with ultrasonic waves was repeated twice for 10 minutes by using distilled water. After the completion of washing with distilled water, washing with ultrasonic waves was carried out by using solvents such as isopropyl alcohol, acetone and methanol.


On the ITO electrode, hexanitrile hexaazatriphenylene (500 Å), and 4,4′-bis[N-(1-naphthyl)-N-phenylamino]biphenyl (NPB) (400 Å), the following BAlq compound doped with 4% Btp2Ir(acac) (300 Å), and Alq3 (200 Å) were sequentially coated by thermal vacuum deposition to form a hole injecting layer, a hole transporting layer, a light emitting layer, and an electron transporting layer, respectively.
