Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

A composition for an organic optoelectric device, an organic optoelectric device and a display device using the same are disclosed.

BACKGROUND ART

An organic optoelectric device is a device that converts electrical energy into photoenergy, and vice versa.

An organic optoelectric device may be classified as follows in accordance with its driving principles. One is an electronic device where excitons generated by photoenergy are separated into electrons and holes and the electrons and holes are transferred to different electrodes respectively and electrical energy is generated, and the other is a light emitting device to generate photoenergy from electrical energy by supplying a voltage or a current to electrodes.

Examples of the organic optoelectric device include an organic photoelectric device, an organic light emitting diode, an organic solar cell, and an organic photo-conductor drum, and the like.

Among them, the organic light emitting diode (OLED) has recently drawn attention due to an increase in demand for flat panel displays. The organic light emitting diode converts electrical energy into light by applying current to an organic light emitting material, and has a structure in which an organic layer is interposed between an anode and a cathode. Herein, the organic layer may include an emission layer, and optionally an auxiliary layer, and the auxiliary layer may include at least one layer selected from, for example a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an electron blocking layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, and a hole blocking layer in order to improve efficiency and stability of an organic light emitting diode.

Performance of an organic light emitting diode may be affected by characteristics of the organic layer, and among them, may be mainly affected by characteristics of an organic material of the organic layer.

Particularly, development for an organic material being capable of increasing hole and electron mobility and simultaneously increasing electrochemical stability is needed so that the organic light emitting diode may be applied to a large-size flat panel display.

At least one or more kinds of the second host compound may be used.

The first and second host compounds may be variously combined and thus, provide various compositions.

As described above, since the first host compound has bipolar characteristics in which electron characteristics are relatively strong, while the second host compound has bipolar characteristics in which hole characteristic is relatively strong, the first and second host compounds may be used together to increase mobility of electrons and holes and thus, to remarkably improve luminous efficiency compared with when the first and second host compounds are used alone.

When the material having only electron or hole characteristics is used to form an emission layer, excitons are relatively more produced due to recombination of electrons and holes at the interface of the emission layer and the electron transport layer (ETL) or hole transport layer (HTL). As a result, the excitons in the emission layer may interact with the exitons produced at the interface of of the emission layer and the electron transport layer (ETL) or hole transport layer (HTL) and thus, may cause a roll-off, which is that luminous efficiency is sharply deteriorated and thus, light emitting life-span characteristics is also sharply deteriorated. In order to solve this problem, the first and second host compounds are simultaneously introduced into the emission layer to balance carriers in the emission layer, so that a light emitting area may not be either the interface of the emission layer and the electron transport layer or hole transport layer (HTL) and thus, remarkably improving roll-off and simultaneously life-span characteristics.

The first host compound and the second host compound may be included in a weight ratio of, for example 1:10 to 10:1. Within the range, bipolar characteristics may be realized more efficiently and efficiency and life-span may be improved.

The composition may further include at least one host compound except the above first host compound and the second host compound.

The composition may further include a dopant. The dopant may be a red, green, or blue dopant, for example a phosphorescent dopant.

The dopant is mixed with the first host compound and the second host compound in a small amount to cause light emission, and may be generally a material such as a metal complex that emits light by multiple excitation into a triplet or more. The dopant may be, for example an inorganic, organic, or organic/inorganic compound, and one or more kinds thereof may be used.

Examples of the phosphorescent dopant may be an organic metal compound including Ir, Pt, Os, Ti, Zr, Hf, Eu, Tb, Tm, Fe, Co, Ni, Ru, Rh, Pd, or a combination thereof. The phosphorescent dopant may be, for example a compound represented by the following Chemical Formula Z, but is not limited thereto.

Luminance of the manufactured organic light emitting diodes was measured for luminance, while increasing the voltage from 0V to 10V using a luminance meter (Minolta Cs-1000A).

(3) Measurement of Luminous Efficiency

Current efficiency (cd/A) at the same current density (10 mA/cm2) were calculated by using the luminance, current density, and voltages obtained from items (1) and (2).

(4) Measurement of Roll-Off

An efficiency roll-off was calculated as a percentage by using (Max value−value at 6000 cd/m2/Max value) in the (3).

(5) Measurement of Life-Span

Luminance (cd/m2) was maintained at 6000 cd/m2 and a time at current efficiency (cd/A) decreases to 97% was measured.
