This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202110654004.1 filed on Jun. 11, 2021, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
The present disclosure relates to the technical field of organic electroluminescence and, in particular, to a triarylamine derivative and an organic electroluminescent device thereof.
An organic electroluminescent device (such as an organic light-emitting diode (OLED)) refers to the phenomenon that an organic semiconductor material and a light-emitting material emit light through carrier injection and recombination when driven by an electric field and can directly convert electrical energy into optical energy. Due to the advantages of active luminescence, a large viewing angle, a fast response speed, a wide adaptable temperature range, a low driving voltage, low power consumption, high brightness, a simple manufacturing process, a light weight and flexible display, the OLED is increasingly applied to the fields of commerce, electronic products, transportation, industry, medical treatment and the military and considered to be a new type of flat-panel display device that can replace a liquid crystal display. Known as flat-panel display technology having a magic display feature, the OLED has become the hot spot of research and development in the fields of new materials and display technology.
The stability of the organic electroluminescent device is related to many factors such as a device structure, an organic light-emitting material, an electrode material and process conditions. With the continuous advancement of science and technology, the structure of the organic electroluminescent device has been continuously optimized and has developed from a simple single-layer device structure to a three-layer or multi-layer device structure. At present, organic function layers involved in the organic electroluminescent device include a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a hole blocking layer, a light-emitting layer, an electron blocking layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, a capping layer and the like. The process conditions for preparing the organic electroluminescent device are continuously innovated and improved. However, since the organic light-emitting material has not been developed to be perfect at this stage, the organic electroluminescent device still has many problems.
As for hole transport materials, traditionally used hole transport materials have low highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) values and low triplet energy levels, which results in a charge imbalance in the light-emitting layer so that such hole transport materials generally cannot provide satisfactory luminescence efficiency. Moreover, the material of the hole transport layer has a relatively low glass transition temperature and will reduce the service life of the device. Therefore, it is very necessary to design a class of hole transport materials with good film formability and thermal stability, high HOMO values and triplet energy levels, high hole transport rates and an electron blocking ability.
At present, the researches on organic electroluminescent materials have received wide attention from the academia and industry, and organic light-emitting devices have been developed towards practicality and commercialization. In general, the future direction of the OLED is to develop a display device with high efficiency, high brightness, a long lifetime and a low cost. However, how to ensure that the hole transport material has a high triplet energy level, a high glass transition temperature, a high hole mobility so as to improve the luminescence efficiency and service life of the device has become an urgent problem to be solved.
A class of compounds used as materials of the hole transport layer are described in Chinese Patent Application No. 201711089080.2. However, such structures have problems such as ease to crystallize, relatively poor film formability and relatively low hole mobility, which lead to relatively low luminescence efficiency and a relatively short service life of the organic electroluminescent device. Therefore, a hole transport material with good film formability and stability needs to be developed.
To solve the preceding problems, the present disclosure provides a triarylamine derivative and an organic electroluminescent device thereof. The organic electroluminescent device has a low driving voltage, high luminescence efficiency and a long lifetime.

Beneficial Effects
The triarylamine derivative provided by the present disclosure includes an unconjugated group so that the triarylamine derivative has a relatively high triplet energy level. Moreover, the present disclosure has suitable HOMO and LUMO energy levels. On one hand, the triarylamine derivative can reduce the injection barrier of holes, thereby reducing the driving voltage of the organic electroluminescent device. On the other hand, the triarylamine derivative can effectively prevent excitons from escaping to an anode side, confine the excitons within a light-emitting layer, and effectively improve the recombination rate of the excitons in the light-emitting layer, thereby improving the luminescence efficiency of the organic electroluminescent device. After the group R1 is introduced into the structure, the material has a further improved triplet energy level, an improved HOMO energy level and improved hole mobility and can further reduce the driving voltage of the organic electroluminescent device to a certain extent and improve the luminescence efficiency of the device.
The triarylamine derivative provided by the present disclosure has a steric structure. The introduction of R1 can improve the stericity of the compound while improving hole mobility so that the overall structure has better stability. Such triarylamine derivatives have relatively high glass transition temperatures, are not easy to crystallize in a thin-film state, have good film formability and thermal stability, and exhibit a long lifetime when applied to organic electroluminescent devices.
Meanwhile, the triarylamine derivative provided by the present disclosure has a high refractive index. When used as a capping layer in the organic electroluminescent device, the triarylamine derivative can avoid total reflection of the device, improve the light extraction efficiency of the device, and improve the luminescence efficiency of the device.
To sum up, the triarylamine derivative provided by the present disclosure has a relatively high triplet energy level, high hole mobility, a high refractive index and good film formability and thermal stability and can effectively reduce the driving voltage of the organic electroluminescent device, improve the luminescence efficiency, and extend the service life of the device when applied to the organic electroluminescent device.
