Patent number: 11342517Abstract: A dibenzoheterocyclic compound having a structure shown in a formula wherein the dibenzoheterocyclic compound has a low LUMO energy level and can be matched with an electron transport material favorable for injection and transport of electrons. The dibenzoheterocyclic compound has hole transport performance. As a light-emitting layer material, the dibenzoheterocyclic compound balances the ratio of electrons to holes in a light-emitting layer increasing the combination probability and improving the light-emitting efficiency of a device. The spatial configuration of the dibenzoheterocyclic compound avoids stacking of material molecules, avoiding generation of high energy excitons due to energy transfer among molecules, reducing annihilation of excitons, and inhibiting efficiency roll-off. The dibenzoheterocyclic compound has thermal stability, so blue light can be emitted efficiently and stably.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2019Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: Ningbo Lumilan Advanced Materials Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ting-Wei Wei, Kunshan Xie, Zhi-Kuan Chen
