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 have been widely researched.
- Iridium(III) complexes have been widely known as phosphorescent materials, including bis(2-(2’-benzothienyl)-pyridinato-N,C-3’)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.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an organic electroluminescent compound and an organic electroluminescent device comprising the same. The organic electroluminescent compound of the present disclosure provides an organic electroluminescent device having a remarkably improved lifespan.
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 have been widely researched. Iridium(III) complexes have been widely known as phosphorescent materials, including bis(2-(2’-benzothienyl)-pyridinato-N,C-3’)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 to be improved. Accordingly, in order to embody the advantageous properties of the organic EL device, it is important to suitably select the materials that are comprised in the organic layer of the organic EL device, especially the host or dopant materials that are comprised in the light-emitting materials.
Japanese Patent Application Laying-Open No. 2014-160813 discloses an organic electroluminescent device comprising a nitrogen-containing heteroaryl compound formed by condensing a pyrrole ring, an aromatic aryl ring, and a 7-membered aryl ring, as host/dopant materials. However, it does not specifically disclose a compound in which a carbazole and an indole are fused with a 7-membered ring.
Korean Patent Application Laying-Open No. 10-2015-077220 discloses a compound in which an amine radical is fused with dibenzo residue including a carbazole, fluorene, or 5-membered hetero ring to form a ring. However, it does not specifically disclose a compound wherein a parent nucleus formed by a fusion of a carbazole, an indole, and a 7-membered ring, is connected, directly or via a linker of arylene or heteroarylene, to a 10-membered nitrogen-containing heteroaryl.
The objective of the present disclosure is to provide an organic electroluminescent compound, which is effective in preparing an organic electroluminescent device having a remarkably improved lifespan, and an organic electroluminescent device comprising the organic electroluminescent compound.

[Device Example 1] OLED comprising the compound of the present
disclosure as a host
An OLED was produced using the organic electroluminescent compound of the present disclosure as follows. A transparent electrode indium tin oxide (ITO) thin film (10 Ω/sq) on a glass substrate for an organic electroluminescent device (OLED) (Geomatec) was subjected to an ultrasonic washing with acetone and isopropanol sequentially and was then stored in isopropanol. The ITO substrate was then mounted on a substrate holder of a vacuum vapor depositing apparatus. Compound HIL-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 compound HIL-1, thereby forming a first hole injection layer having a thickness of 80nm on the ITO substrate. Compound HIL-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 5nm on the first hole injection layer. Compound HTL-1 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 10nm on the second hole injection layer. Compound HTL-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 transport layer having a thickness of 60nm on the first hole transport layer. After forming the hole injection layer and the hole transport layer, a light-emitting layer was deposited thereon as follows. Compound C-1 was introduced, as a host material, into a cell of the vacuum vapor depositing apparatus and compound D-71 was introduced into another cell. The two compounds were then evaporated at different rates, so that the dopant was deposited in a doping amount of 3 wt% based on the total amount of the host and dopant to form a light-emitting layer having a thickness of 40nm on the hole transport layer. Compounds ETL-1 and Liq were then introduced into another two cells of the vacuum vapor depositing apparatus, respectively, and evaporated at the same rate of 1:1, thereby forming an electron transport layer having a thickness of 30nm on the light-emitting layer. After depositing compound Liq as an electron injection layer having a thickness of 2nm on the electron transport layer, an Al cathode having a thickness of 80nm was then deposited by another vacuum vapor deposition apparatus on the electron injection layer to produce the OLED.
When an initial luminance at 5000 nit and a constant current is set at 100%, the time taken to be 98% of the luminance was 80 hours or more.
[Comparative Device Example 1] OLED comprising a conventional organic
electroluminescent compound
An OLED was produced in the same manner as in Device Example 1, except for using the following compound B-1 as a host for a light-emitting layer.
In Comparative Device Example 1, when an initial luminance at 5000 nit and a constant current is set at 100% as in Device Example 1, the time taken to be 98% of the luminance was 40 hours or more.
As confirmed by the Device Example and the Comparative Device Example, the OLED employing the organic electroluminescent compound of the present disclosure has better properties including more improved lifespan than the conventional OLED employing the conventional organic electroluminescent compound. Compound B-1 used in Comparative Device Example 1 or triazine derivatives suggested in the above-mentioned Korean Patent Application Laying-Open No. 10-2015-077220 has a planar structure, and thereby, has good driving voltage. However, they have insufficient thermal stability, since they have high Ts (Sublimation Temperature) due to strong molecular interactions by said planar structure. Furthermore, the triazine has relatively short conjugation length, and such short conjugation results in instability of material itself, since the function of the conjugation is to stabilize electrons (radicals).
On the other hand, the organic electroluminescent compound of the present disclosure has a naphthalene-based substituent in the substituent position corresponding to the triazine, such as a quinazoline or a quinoxaline. The naphthalene-based substituent has a non-planar structure relative to the triazine, and thereby, it may give higher driving voltage relative to the triazine. In addition, the naphthalene-based substituent, in contrast to the triazine, has low Ts and longer conjugation length relative to the triazine, and thereby, it may give superior heat stability and electron stabilization properties to the triazine.
The effects of the present disclosure confirmed by the Device Example and the Comparative Device Example may be considered in that the intermediate properties, between the naphthalene-based substituent and the triazine, of the organic electroluminescent compound of the present disclosure having the naphthalene-based substituent in the substituent position corresponding to the triazine, comprehensively affect lifespan of the OLED of the present disclosure, and thereby, the OLED of the present disclosure may have superior lifespan to the conventional OLED, due to the presence of the naphthalene-based substituent in the organic electroluminescent compound of the present disclosure.
