  • Patent number: 11552254
    Abstract: A thermally activated delayed fluorescent molecular material, a synthesizing method therefor, and an electroluminescent device are provided. The thermally activated delayed fluorescent molecular containing an indenobenzoselenoheteroaromatic ring donor is synthesized, so that an electron donating ability of the donor is increased, and an non-radiative transition rate is effectively inhibited, thereby increasing photo-luminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of the molecule; and increasing the twist angle between the electron donor and the electron acceptor. Meanwhile, electron cloud overlapping between highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) is reduced, thereby obtaining a smaller ?EST value. The organic electroluminescent device adopts the thermally activated delayed fluorescent molecular material prepared according to the synthesizing method, and thus has high luminous efficiency and long service life.

  • Patent number: 11492314
    Abstract: The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of organic materials, and provides an organic compound. An adamantane spirofluorenyl and an anthryl are connected to obtain a novel compound for an organic electroluminescence device. In this compound, adamantane in the adamantane spirofluorene greatly increases the density of electron clouds on the fluorenyl through the hyperconjugation effect, which reduces the HOMO energy level of the compound and improves the hole migration ability. Both the adamantane spirofluorene and the anthryl have high hole mobility, so when the two are connected, the overall hole mobility of molecules is further improved, which is beneficial to reducing the working voltage of the device and improving the luminous efficiency. The present disclosure further provides an electronic component and an electronic apparatus including the compound. The organic compound can improve the performance of the electronic component.
