The present invention relates to compound for organic electronic element, organic electronic element using the same, and an electronic device thereof.
BACKGROUND ARTIn general, an organic light emitting phenomenon refers to a phenomenon in which electric energy is converted into light energy of an organic material. An organic electric element utilizing the organic light emitting phenomenon usually has a structure including an anode, a cathode, and an organic material layer interposed therebetween. Here, in many cases, the organic material layer may have a multilayered structure including multiple layers made of different materials in order to improve the efficiency and stability of an organic electric element, and for example, may include a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light emitting layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, and the like.
A material used as an organic material layer in an organic electric element may be classified into a light emitting material and a charge transport material, for example, a hole injection material, a hole transport material, an electron transport material, an electron injection material, and the like according to its function.
The most problematic issues in an organic electric element are life span and efficiency, and the situation is such that this life span or efficiency issue must be solved as displays become larger and larger.
Efficiency, life span, driving voltage, and the like are correlated with each other. For example, if efficiency is increased, then driving voltage is relatively lowered, and the crystallization of an organic material due to Joule heating generated during operation is reduced as driving voltage is lowered, as a result of which life span shows a tendency to increase.
However, efficiency cannot be maximized only by simply improving the organic material layer. This is because long life span and high efficiency can be simultaneously achieved when an optimal combination of energy levels and T1 values, inherent material properties (mobility, interfacial properties, etc.), and the like among the respective organic material layers is given.
Further, in order to solve the emission problem with a hole transport layer in a recent organic electric element, an emitting-auxiliary layer is present between the hole transport layer and a light emitting layer, and it is time to develop different emitting-auxiliary layers according to respective light emitting layers (R, G, B).
In general, an electron transferred from an electron transport layer to a light emitting layer and a hole transferred from a hole transport layer to the light emitting layer are recombined to form an exciton.
However, since materials to be used in the hole transport layer must have low HOMO values, they mostly have low T1 values, and on account of this, the exciton formed in the light emitting layer is transferred into the hole transport layer, which causes charge unbalance in the light emitting layer and thus are emitted at a hole transport layer interface.
The light emission at the hole transport layer interface has a problem in that color purity and efficiency are lowered and life span is shortened. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an emitting-auxiliary layer which has a high T1 values and the HOMO level of which is between the HOMO energy level of a hole transport layer and the HOMO energy level of a light emitting layer.
In addition, it is required to develop a hole injection layer material that retards penetration/diffusion of metal oxides from an anode electrode (ITO) into an organic material layer, which is one cause for the shortened life span of an organic electric element, and has stability against Joule heat generated during the operation of an organic electric element, that is, a high glass transition temperature. Also, it has been reported that a low glass transition temperature of a hole transport layer material has a great effect on the life span of an organic electric element because the uniformity of a thin film surface collapses during the operation of the element. In general, deposition is a main method of forming an OLED, and thus there is an actual need to develop a material that is durable to such a deposition method, that is, a highly heat-resistant material.
In order to allow an organic electric element to fully exhibit the above-mentioned excellent features, it should be prerequisite to support a material constituting an organic material layer in the element, for example, a hole injection material, a hole transport material, a light emitting material, an electron transport material, an electron injection material, an emitting-auxiliary layer material or the like, by a stable and efficient material. However, such a stable and efficient organic material layer material for an organic electric element has not yet been fully developed. Accordingly, there is a continuous need to develop new materials for a hole transport layer or an emitting-auxiliary layer.

Meanwhile, FD-MS values for the inventive compounds P-1 to P-76 prepared according to the Synthesis examples above are given in Table 3 below.
First, on an ITO layer (anode) formed on a glass substrate, N1-(naphthalen-2-yl)-N4,N4-bis(4-(naphthalen-2-yl(phenyl)amino)phenyl)-N1-phenylbenzene-1,4-diamine (hereinafter will be abbreviated as 2-TNATA) was vacuum-deposited to form a hole injection layer with a thickness of 60 nm, and N,N′-bis(1-naphthalenyl)-N,N′-bis-phenyl-(1,1′-biphenyl)-4,4′-diamine (hereinafter will be abbreviated as NPB) was vacuum-deposited to form a hole transport layer with a thickness of 60 nm. Then, the compound of the present invention represented by Formula (1) was vacuum deposited to form an emitting-auxiliary layer with a thickness of 20 nm. On the emitting-auxiliary layer, an emitting layer with a thickness of 30 nm was deposited using CBP[4,4′-N,N′-dicarbazole-biphenyl] as a host doped with (piq)2Ir(acac) [bis-(1-phenylisoquinolyl)iridium(III)acetylacetonate] as a dopant in a weight ratio of 95:5. (1,1′-bisphenyl)-4-olato)bis(2-methyl-8-quinolinolato)aluminum (hereinafter will be abbreviated as BAlq) was vacuum deposited to form a hole blocking layer with a thickness of 10 nm, and an electron transport layer was formed using tris(8-quinolinol)aluminum (hereinafter will be abbreviated as Alq3) to a thickness of 40 nm. After that, an alkali metal halide, LiF was deposited as an electron injection layer to a thickness of 0.2 nm, and Al was deposited as a cathode to a thickness of 150 nm to manufacture an OLED.
To the OLEDs which were manufactured in examples and comparative examples, a forward bias direct current voltage was applied, and electroluminescent (EL) properties were measured using PR-650 of Photoresearch Co., and T95 life was measured using a life measuring apparatus manufactured by McScience Inc. with a reference luminance of 2500 cd/m2. In the following table, the results on the manufacture of a device and evaluation are shown.
Comparative Example 1Except for not using EBL, an OLED was manufactured in the same manner as described in the embodiment 1 above.
Comparative Example 2 to Comparative Example 5Except that the comparative compound A to C was used as the materials of emitting-auxiliary layer, an OLED was manufactured in the same manner as described in the embodiment 1 above.
As it is apparent from the results of Table 4, when a red organic electroluminescent device is manufactured using a compound of the present invention as an emitting auxiliary layer material, the driving voltage of the organic electroluminescence device can be lowered and the luminous efficiency and lifespan can be remarkably improved as compared with the comparative examples not using the luminescent auxiliary layer or using the comparative compounds A to C.
In other words, the results of Comparative Examples 2 to 4 using the comparative compounds A to C were superior to those of Comparative Example 1 in which the emitting auxiliary layer was not used. Examples 1 to 76 of the compounds of the present invention, which are similar to the inventive compounds, but in which specific substituents such as Dibenzothiophen or Dibenzofuran must be substituted, showed the best results.
Comparing the results of the comparative compounds A to C, it can be confirmed that the result of Comparative Compound C substituted with 2 and 3 in the Dibenzothiophen core is most excellent. Even though the cores are the same, the energy level values (especially the HOMO level) varies depending on the substitution position, and as the physical properties of the compound are changed, it plays a major role as a main factor in improving the device performance during the device deposition. Therefore, it can be confirmed that these different results are obtained.
Comparing the results of Comparative Example C with those of Examples 1 to 76, the amino group is substituted asymmetrically at positions 2 and 3 in dibenzothiophen as in comparative compound C, but it can be confirmed that the inventive compound substituted with a specific substituent such as dibenzothiophene or dibenzofuran is remarkably superior in the result. This suggests that even if the substitution position is the same, the kind of the substituent is different and significantly different results may be obtained. When dibenzothiophene or dibenzofuran is introduced to a substituent, the refractive index is remarkably higher than that of the substitution of the substituent of an aryl group, Tg is also increased, such that the efficiency and the thermal stability become excellent, and it was judged that these differences showed remarkably excellent device results as in Examples 1 to 76.
Therefore, in conclusion, it can be confirmed that the compound of the present substituted with the amino group introduced with a specific substituent such as Dibenzothiophen or Dibenzofuran asymmetrically at positions 2 and 3 in the dibenzothiophen core is remarkably superior to the conventional similar compounds.
