Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to an organic electroluminescent compound and an organic electroluminescent device comprising the same.
- An 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 most important factor determining luminous efficiency in the organic EL device is light-emitting materials.
- fluorescent materials have been widely used as light-emitting material.
- phosphorescent materials theoretically enhance luminous efficiency by four (4) times compared to fluorescent materials, phosphorescent light-emitting materials are widely being researched.
- Iridium(III) complexes have been widely known as phosphorescent materials, including bis(2-(2’-benzothienyl)-pyridinato-N,C3’)iridium(acetylacetonate) ((acac)Ir(btp) 2 ), tris(2-phenylpyridine)iridium (Ir(ppy) 3 ) and bis(4,6-difluorophenylpyridinato-N,C2)picolinate iridium (Firpic) as red-, green- and blue-emitting materials, respectively.
- CBP 4,4’-N,N’-dicarbazol-biphenyl
- BCP bathocuproine

- the organic EL device may be manufactured with a multi-layered structure in which a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light-emitting layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, etc., are comprised.
- a compound for the hole transport layer is important to enhance characteristics of the device, such as efficiency for transporting holes to the light-emitting layer, luminous efficiency, and lifespan.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an organic electroluminescent compound and an organic electroluminescent device comprising the same. By using the organic electroluminescent compound of the present disclosure, an organic electroluminescent device showing excellent current efficiency can be provided.
Description
The present disclosure relates to an organic electroluminescent compound and an organic electroluminescent device comprising the same.
An 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 most important factor determining luminous efficiency in the organic EL device is light-emitting materials. Until now, fluorescent materials have been widely used as light-emitting material. However, in view of electroluminescent mechanisms, since phosphorescent materials theoretically enhance luminous efficiency by four (4) times compared to fluorescent materials, phosphorescent light-emitting materials are widely being researched. Iridium(III) complexes have been widely known as phosphorescent materials, including bis(2-(2’-benzothienyl)-pyridinato-N,C3’)iridium(acetylacetonate) ((acac)Ir(btp)2), tris(2-phenylpyridine)iridium (Ir(ppy)3) and bis(4,6-difluorophenylpyridinato-N,C2)picolinate iridium (Firpic) as red-, green- and blue-emitting materials, respectively.
At present, 4,4’-N,N’-dicarbazol-biphenyl (CBP) is the most widely known host material for phosphorescent materials. Recently, Pioneer (Japan) et al., developed a high performance organic EL device using bathocuproine (BCP) and aluminum(III)bis(2-methyl-8-quinolinate)(4-phenylphenolate) (BAlq) etc., as host materials, which were known as hole blocking materials.
Although these materials provide good light-emitting characteristics, they have the following disadvantages: (1) Due to their low glass transition temperature and poor thermal stability, their degradation may occur during a high-temperature deposition process in a vacuum, which results in poor lifespan. (2) The power efficiency of the organic EL device is given by [(π/voltage) × current efficiency], and the power efficiency is inversely proportional to the voltage. Although the organic EL device comprising phosphorescent host materials provides higher current efficiency (cd/A) than one comprising fluorescent materials, a significantly high driving voltage is necessary. Thus, there is no merit in terms of power efficiency (lm/W). (3) Furthermore, the operational lifespan of the organic EL device is short, and luminous efficiency is still required in order to be improved.
To improve efficiencies and stability, the organic EL device may be manufactured with a multi-layered structure in which a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light-emitting layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, etc., are comprised. In the structure, a compound for the hole transport layer is important to enhance characteristics of the device, such as efficiency for transporting holes to the light-emitting layer, luminous efficiency, and lifespan.
In this regard, copper phthalocyanine (CuPc), 4,4'-bis[N-(1-naphthyl)-N-phenylamino]biphenyl (NPB), N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis(3-methylphenyl)-(1,1'-biphenyl)-4,4'-diamine (TPD), 4,4',4"-tris(3-methylphenylphenylamino)triphenylamine (MTDATA), etc., were used as a hole injection and transport material for an organic EL device. However, the organic EL device using these materials is problematic in quantum efficiency and lifespan. It is due to thermal stress occuring between an anode and a hole injection layer, when the organic EL device is driven under high current. Thermal stress significantly reduces the lifespan of the device. Furthermore, since the organic material used in the hole injection layer has very high hole mobility, the hole-electron charge balance may be broken and quantum yield (cd/A) may decrease. The hole transport layer needs to be developed to enhance durability of the organic EL device.
WO 2013/011891 discloses compounds for the organic EL device, in which a carbazole is fused with a benzene ring and a five-membered ring to construct a backbone, and the nitrogen atom of carbazole moiety of the backbone is bonded, directly or via a linker such as aryl or heteroaryl, to heteroaryl. However, this reference fails to specifically disclose a compound in which a carbazole is fused with a benzene ring and a five-membered ring to construct a backbone, and the nitrogen atom of carbazole moiety of the backbone is bonded, directly or via a linker such as aryl or heteroaryl, to the benzene ring which is bonded to diarylamine and another group such as aryl; and an organic EL device which uses the compound for preparing a hole transport layer.
The objective of the present disclosure is to provide an organic electroluminescent compound, which can provide an organic electroluminescent device having high current efficiency.
The present inventors found that the above objective can be achieved by an organic electroluminescent compound represented by the following formula 1.

[Device Example 1] OLED using the compound of the present disclosure
OLED was produced using the compound of the present disclosure as follows. A transparent electrode indium tin oxide (ITO) thin film (15 Ω/sq) on a glass substrate for an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) (Samsung Corning) was subjected to an ultrasonic washing with trichloroethylene, 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. N1,N1’-([1,1’-biphenyl]-4,4’-diyl)bis(N1-(naphthalen-1-yl)-N4,N4-diphenylbenzene-1,4-diamine) was introduced into a cell of said vacuum vapor depositing apparatus, and then the pressure in the chamber of said apparatus was controlled to 10-6 torr. Thereafter, an electric current was applied to the cell to evaporate the above introduced material, thereby forming a hole injection layer having a thickness of 60 nm on the ITO substrate. Compound C-1 was then introduced into another cell of said vacuum vapor depositing apparatus, and evaporated by applying electric current to the cell, thereby forming a hole transport layer having a thickness of 20 nm on the hole injection layer. Thereafter, 9-(4-([1,1':3',1''-terphenyl]-4-yl)pyrimidin-2-yl)-9'-phenyl-9H,9'H-3,3'-bicarbazole was introduced into one cell of the vacuum vapor depositing apparatus as a host material, and compound D-1 was introduced into another cell as a dopant. The two materials were evaporated at different rates, 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 30 nm on the hole transport layer. 2-(4-(9,10-di(naphthalen-2-yl)anthracen-2-yl)phenyl)-1-phenyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole was then introduced into one cell, and lithium quinolate was introduced into another cell. The two materials were evaporated at the same rate, so that they were respectively deposited in a doping amount of 50 wt% to form an electron transport layer having a thickness of 30 nm on the light-emitting layer. After depositing lithium quinolate as an electron injection layer having a thickness of 2 nm on the electron transport layer, an Al cathode having a thickness of 150 nm was then deposited by another vacuum vapor deposition apparatus on the electron injection layer. Thus, an OLED was produced. All the materials used for producing the OLED were those purified by vacuum sublimation at 10-6 torr.
