Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims the benefit of and the priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2022-0084559, which is filed on Jul. 8, 2022 in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, and which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.


BACKGROUND
1. Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to an organometallic compound, and for example, to an organometallic compound having phosphorescent properties and an organic light-emitting diode including the same.


2. Description of Related Art

Display devices are ubiquitous, and interest in such devices is increasing. One of the display devices is an organic light-emitting display device including an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) which is rapidly developing.


In the organic light-emitting diode, when electric charges are injected into a light-emitting layer formed or disposed between a positive electrode and a negative electrode, an electron and a hole may be recombined with each other in the light-emitting layer to form an exciton. The energy of the exciton may be converted to light that will be emitted by the organic light-emitting diode. Compared to conventional display devices, the organic light-emitting diode may operate at a lower voltage, consume relatively little power, render excellent colors, and may be used in a variety of ways when the organic light-emitting diode includes a flexible substrate. Further, a size of the organic light-emitting diode may be adjustable.


SUMMARY

The organic light-emitting diode (OLED) may have superior viewing angle and contrast ratio compared to a liquid crystal display (LCD), and may be lightweight and ultra-thin because the OLED may not require a backlight. The organic light-emitting diode may include a plurality of organic layers between a negative electrode (electron injection electrode; cathode) and a positive electrode (hole injection electrode; anode). The plurality of organic layers may include a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a hole transport auxiliary layer, an electron blocking layer, and a light-emitting layer, an electron transport layer, etc.


In this organic light-emitting diode structure, when a voltage is applied across the two electrodes, electrons and holes are injected from the negative and positive electrodes, respectively, into the light-emitting layer. Excitons are generated in the light-emitting layer and then fall to a ground state to emit light.


Organic materials used in the organic light-emitting diode may be largely classified into light-emitting materials and charge-transporting materials. The light-emitting material may be an important factor determining luminous efficiency of the organic light-emitting diode. The luminescent material may have high quantum efficiency, excellent electron and hole mobility, and may exist uniformly and stably in the light-emitting layer. The light-emitting materials may be classified into light-emitting materials emitting blue, red, and green colors based on colors of the light. A color-generating material may include a host and dopants to increase the color purity and luminous efficiency through energy transfer.


When the fluorescent material is used, singlets, which make up about 25% of excitons generated in the light-emitting layer, are used to emit light, while most of triplets, which make up 75% of the excitons generated in the light-emitting layer, are dissipated as heat. However, when the phosphorescent material is used, both singlets and triplets may emit light.


Conventionally, an organometallic compound is used as the phosphorescent material used in the organic light-emitting diode. Research and development of the phosphorescent material to solve low efficiency and lifetime problems are continuously performed.


Accordingly, objects of the present disclosure are to provide an organometallic compound capable of lowering operation voltage, and improving efficiency, and lifespan, and an organic light-emitting diode including an organic light-emitting layer containing the same.


Objects of the present disclosure are not limited to the above-mentioned objects. Other objects and advantages of the present disclosure that are not mentioned may be understood based on following descriptions, and may be more clearly understood based on aspects of the present disclosure. Further, it will be easily understood that the objects and advantages of the present disclosure may be realized using means shown in the claims and combinations thereof.


To achieve these and other advantages and in accordance with objects of the disclosure, as embodied and broadly described herein, an organometallic compound represented by Chemical Formula I:

For convenience of description, a scale in which each of elements is illustrated in the accompanying drawings may differ from an actual scale. Thus, the illustrated elements are not limited to the specific scale in which they are illustrated in the drawings. The same reference numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements, which may perform similar functionality. Further, where the detailed description of the relevant known steps and elements may obscure an important point of the present disclosure, a detailed description of such known steps and elements may be omitted. Furthermore, in the following detailed description of the present disclosure, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a sufficiently thorough understanding of the present disclosure. However, it will be understood that the present disclosure may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, known methods, procedures, components, and circuits have not been described in detail so as not to unnecessarily obscure aspects of the present disclosure.


Although example embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, the present disclosure is not limited thereto and may be embodied in many different forms without departing from the technical concept of the present disclosure. Therefore, example embodiments of the present disclosure are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the technical concept of the present disclosure.

Hereinafter, example embodiments of an organometallic compound according to the present disclosure and of an organic light-emitting diode including the same will be described.


Conventionally, an organometallic compound has been used as a dopant in a light-emitting layer of an organic light-emitting diode. For example, the main ligand(s) in the organometallic compound may have a skeletal structure based on, for example, 2-phenylpyridine. However, the conventional light-emitting dopant has a limit in improving efficiency and lifetime of the organic light-emitting diode. Accordingly, the inventors of the present disclosure have arrived at a light-emitting dopant material that may further improve the efficiency and lifespan of the organic light-emitting diode, and complete the present disclosure.


The organometallic compound according to an example embodiment of the present disclosure may be represented by Chemical Formula I, wherein a main ligand of the Chemical Formula I has a hetero ring structure in which at least one of two rings connected to a central coordination metal (M) contains nitrogen (N). For example, the main ligand may have a quinoline ring structure, an isoquinoline structure, and the like. In some embodiment, the main ligand may have an isoquinoline structure. Moreover, an aromatic ring and an aliphatic ring may be fused with the nitrogen (N)-containing hetero ring to enhance rigidity of the compound molecule and achieve a stable structure.


The inventors of the present disclosure have experimentally identified that when a dopant material of a phosphorescent light-emitting layer of the organic light-emitting diode includes the organometallic compound represented by the Chemical Formula 1, the light-emitting efficiency and the lifespan of the organic light-emitting diode are improved and the operation voltage thereof are lowered.


The organometallic compound according to the present disclosure having the above characteristics may be represented by the Chemical Formula I.

The driving thin-film transistor Td is connected to the switching thin film transistor, and includes a semiconductor layer 3100, a gate electrode 3300, a source electrode 3520, and a drain electrode 3540.


The semiconductor layer 3100 may be formed or disposed on the substrate 3010 and may be made of or include an oxide semiconductor material or polycrystalline silicon. When the semiconductor layer 3100 is made of or include an oxide semiconductor material, a light-shielding pattern (not shown) may be formed or disposed under the semiconductor layer 3100. The light-shielding pattern may prevent or reduce light from being incident into the semiconductor layer 3100 to prevent the semiconductor layer 3100 from being deteriorated due to the light. Alternatively, the semiconductor layer 3100 may be made of or include polycrystalline silicon. In some example embodiments, both edges of the semiconductor layer 3100 may be doped with impurities.


The gate insulating layer 3200 made of or include an insulating material is formed or disposed over an entirety of a surface of the substrate 3010 and on the semiconductor layer 3100. The gate insulating layer 3200 may be made of or include an inorganic insulating material such as silicon oxide or silicon nitride.


The gate electrode 3300 made of or include a conductive material such as a metal is formed or disposed on the gate insulating layer 3200 and corresponds to a center of the semiconductor layer 3100. The gate electrode 3300 is connected to the switching thin film transistor.

For example, the color filter 3600 may absorb red (R), green (G), blue (B), and white (W) light. In some example embodiments, red, green, and blue color filter patterns that absorb light may be formed or disposed separately in different pixel areas. Each of these color filter patterns may be disposed to overlap each organic layer 4300 of the organic light-emitting diode 4000 to emit light of a wavelength band corresponding to each color filter. Adopting the color filter 3600 may allow the organic light-emitting display device 3000 to realize full-color.


For example, when the organic light-emitting display device 3000 is of a bottom emission type, the color filter 3600 absorbing light may be positioned on a portion of the interlayer insulating layer 3400 corresponding to the organic light-emitting diode 4000. In some example embodiments, when the organic light-emitting display device 3000 is of a top emission type, the color filter may be positioned on top of the organic light-emitting diode 4000, that is, on top of a second electrode 4200.

For example, the reflective electrode or the reflective layer may be made of or include one of aluminum (Al), silver (Ag), nickel (Ni), and an aluminum-palladium-copper (APC) alloy.


A bank layer 3800 covering an edge of the first electrode 4100 is formed or disposed on the planarization layer 3700. The bank layer 3800 exposes a center of the first electrode 4100 corresponding to the pixel area.


An organic layer 4300 is formed or disposed on the first electrode 4100. Optionally, the organic light-emitting diode 4000 may have a tandem structure. Regarding the tandem structure, reference may be made to FIG. 2 to FIG. 3, which illustrate some example embodiments of the present disclosure, and the above descriptions thereof.

The second electrode 4200 is disposed over the entirety of the surface of the display area and is made of or include a conductive material having a relatively small work function value and may be used as a negative electrode (a cathode). For example, the second electrode 4200 may be made of or include one of aluminum (Al), magnesium (Mg), and an aluminum-magnesium alloy (Al—Mg).


The first electrode 4100, the organic layer 4300, and the second electrode 4200 constitute the organic light-emitting diode 4000.


An encapsulation film 3900 is formed or disposed on the second electrode 4200 to prevent or reduce external moisture from penetrating into the organic light-emitting diode 4000. Although not shown explicitly in FIG. 4, the encapsulation film 3900 may have a triple-layer structure in which a first inorganic layer, an organic layer, and an inorganic layer are sequentially stacked.

The organic light-emitting diode as manufactured in each of Present Examples 1 to 28 and Comparative Example 1 was connected to an external power source, and characteristics of the organic light-emitting diode were evaluated at room temperature using a current source and a photometer.


Operation voltage (%), external quantum efficiency (EQE; %), lifetime characteristics (LT95; %), full width at half maximum (FWHM) (%), and an aspect ratio (%) were measured at a current density of 10 mA/cm2, and were calculated as relative values to those of Comparative Example 1, and the results are shown in the following Table 1.


LT95 lifetime refers to a time it takes for the display element to lose 5% of its initial brightness. LT95 is the customer specification that may be the most difficult to meet. Whether or not image burn-in occurs on the display may be determined based on the LT95.


The full width at half maximum (FWHM) means a wavelength width corresponding to ½ of the maximum value of a curve representing a wavelength. A narrow FWHM means that a purity of the color may be high, which means that the light-emitting diode renders a desired color based on a combination of light beams may be implemented at high efficiency and a high color gamut may be obtained. The full width at half maximum was evaluated via photoluminescence (PL) intensity measurement, and a model/maker of the measurement equipment was FS-5/Edinburgh Instruments.


The aspect ratio was calculated based on {(a length at a long axis of a molecule centered on a metal (N-Metal-N direction))/(a length at a short axis perpendicular to the long axis of the molecule centered on the metal)}. The aspect ratio was measured based on a calculating result of a distance between atoms in a molecule using a Gaussian molecular calculation program (Gaussian 16).

As may be identified from the results of Table 1, the organometallic compound used in each of Present Examples 1 to 28 satisfies the structure represented by the Chemical Formula I of the present disclosure. The organic light-emitting diode in each of Present Examples 1 to 28 had a lower operation voltage and a higher aspect ratio, and improved external quantum efficiency (EQE) and lifetime (LT95) compared to those in Comparative Example 1, which used a dopant that does not satisfy the structure represent by the Chemical Formula I of the present disclosure. Further, the organic light-emitting diode in each of Present Examples 1 to 28 had a narrow full width at half maximum, resulting in improved color purity.
