The present disclosure relates to an organic electroluminescent device.
BACKGROUND ARTAn electroluminescent (EL) device is a self-light-emitting device which has advantages in that it provides a wider viewing angle, a greater contrast ratio, and a faster response time. An organic EL device was first developed by Eastman Kodak, by using small aromatic diamine molecules and aluminum complexes as materials to form a light-emitting layer [Appl. Phys. Lett. 51, 913, 1987].
The organic EL device converts electric energy into light when electricity is applied to an organic light-emitting material(s). Generally, the organic EL device has a structure comprising an anode, a cathode, and an organic layer disposed between the anode and the cathode. The organic layer of the organic EL device comprises a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an electron blocking layer, a light-emitting layer (comprising a host material and a dopant material), an electron buffering layer, a hole blocking layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, etc. Depending on its function, materials for forming the organic layer can be classified as a hole injection material, a hole transport material, an electron blocking material, a light-emitting material, an electron buffering material, a hole blocking material, an electron transport material, an electron injection material, etc. When a voltage is applied to the organic EL device, holes and electrons are injected from an anode and a cathode, respectively, to the light-emitting layer. Excitons having high energy are formed by recombinations between the holes and the electrons. The energy of excitons puts the light-emitting organic compound in an excited state, and the decay of the excited state results in a relaxation of the energy level into a ground state, accompanied by light-emission.
The most important factor determining luminous efficiency in the organic EL device is light-emitting materials. The light-emitting material needs to have high quantum efficiency, high electron mobility, and high hole mobility. Furthermore, the light-emitting layer formed by the light-emitting material needs to be uniform and stable. Depending on colors visualized by light-emission, the light-emitting materials can be classified as a blue-, green-, or red-emitting material, and a yellow- or orange-emitting material can be additionally included therein. Depending on its function, the light-emitting materials can be classified as a host material and a dopant material. Recently, the development of an organic EL device providing high efficiency and long lifespan is an urgent issue. Particularly, considering EL characteristic requirements for a middle or large-sized panel of OLED, materials showing better characteristics than conventional ones must be urgently developed. The host material acts as a solvent in a solid state and transfers energy, and thus needs to have high purity and a molecular weight appropriate for vacuum deposition. Furthermore, the host material needs to have high glass transition temperature and high thermal degradation temperature to achieve thermal stability, high electro-chemical stability to achieve long lifespan, easiness of forming amorphous thin film, good adhesion to materials of adjacent layers, and non-migration to other layers.
In order to enhance color purity, luminous efficiency and stability, the light-emitting material may be used as a mixture of a host and a dopant. Generally, devices showing good electroluminescent characteristics comprise a light-emitting layer in which a dopant is doped into a host. In the dopant/host material system, efficiencies and lifespan of the device are highly affected by the host material, and thus selection of the host material is important.

[Device Examples 1-1 to 1-8] OLED Produced by an Evaporation of the Hole Transport Compound of the Present Disclosure and a Co-Evaporation of a First Host Compound and a Second Host Compound of the Present DisclosureAn organic electroluminescent device (OLED) was produced using the light-emitting material of the present disclosure as follows. A transparent electrode indium tin oxide (ITO) thin film (10 Ω/sq) on a glass substrate for an OLED (Geomatec) was subjected to an ultrasonic washing with acetone, ethanol, and distilled water sequentially, and was then stored in isopropanol. The ITO substrate was then mounted on a substrate holder of a vacuum vapor depositing apparatus. N4,N4′-biphenyl-N4,N4′-bis(9-phenyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)-[1,1′-biphenyl]-4,4′-diamine (HI-1) was introduced into a cell of the vacuum vapor depositing apparatus, and then the pressure in the chamber of the apparatus was controlled to 10−6 torr. Thereafter, an electric current was applied to the cell to evaporate HI-1, thereby forming a first hole injection layer having a thickness of 80 nm on the ITO substrate. 1,4,5,8,9,12-hexa-azatriphenylene-hexacarbonitrile (HI-2) was then introduced into another cell of the vacuum vapor depositing apparatus, and evaporated by applying electric current to the cell, thereby forming a second hole injection layer having a thickness of 3 nm on the first hole injection layer. N-([1,1′-biphenyl]-4-yl)-9,9-dimethyl-N-(4-(9-phenyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)phenyl)-9H-fluoren-2-amine was introduced into one cell of the vacuum vapor depositing apparatus, and evaporated by applying electric current to the cell, thereby forming a first hole transport layer having a thickness of 10 nm on the second hole injection layer. A second hole transport compound shown in Table 1 below was then introduced into another cell of the vacuum vapor depositing apparatus, and evaporated by applying electric current to the cell, thereby forming a second hole transport layer having a thickness of 30 nm on the first hole transport layer. As a host material, H1-34 or H1-35, and H2-31 were introduced into two cells of the vacuum vapor depositing apparatus, respectively. A dopant compound D-25 was introduced into another cell. The two host compounds were evaporated at the same rate of 1:1, while the dopant was evaporated at a different rate from the host compounds, so that the dopant was deposited in a doping amount of 15 wt % based on the total amount of the host and dopant to form a light-emitting layer having a thickness of 40 nm on the hole transport layer. 2,4-bis(9,9-dimethyl-9H-fluoren-2-yl)-6-(naphthalen-2-yl)-1,3,5-triazine (ET-1) and lithium quinolate (EI-1) were introduced into two cells of the vacuum vapor depositing apparatus, respectively, and evaporated at the rate of 4:6, thereby forming an electron transport layer having a thickness of 35 nm on the light-emitting layer. After depositing lithium quinolate (EI-1) as an electron injection layer having a thickness of 2 nm on the electron transport layer, an Al cathode having a thickness of 80 nm was then deposited by another vacuum vapor deposition apparatus on the electron injection layer.
OLEDs were produced in the same manner as in Device Examples 1-1 to 1-8, except that HTL-A shown below was used as a second hole transport compound.
A luminous efficiency, CIE color coordinate, a driving voltage at 1,000 nit, and time taken to be reduced from 100% to 85% of the luminance at 15,000 nit and a constant current (T85 lifespan) of OLEDs produced above were measured. The luminous characteristics of the organic electroluminescent devices produced in Device Examples 1-1 to 1-8 and Comparative Examples 1-1 to 1-2 are shown in Table 1 below.
As confirmed in the Device Examples, the organic electroluminescent device of the present disclosure has better lifespan than conventional devices by comprising a specific hole transport compound and a plurality of hosts.
