APPLICATION EXAMPLE

Manufacture of Organic Electroluminescent Device

[0172] A glass substrate with a size of 50 mm*50 mm*1.0 mm including an ITO (100 nm) transparent electrode was ultrasonically cleaned in ethanol for 10 minutes, dried at 150° C., and then treated with N2 plasma for 30 minutes. The washed glass substrate was arranged on a substrate support of a vacuum evaporation device. Firstly, a compound HATCN for covering the transparent electrode was evaporated on a surface of a side having a transparent electrode line to form a thin film with a thickness of 5 nm. Next, a layer of HTM1 was evaporated to form a thin film with a thickness of 60 nm. Then, a layer of HTM2 was evaporated on the HTM1 thin film to form a thin film with a thickness of 10 nm. Then, a host material 1, a host material 2, and a doping compound (a comparative compound X and CPD X) were co-evaporated on the HTM2 film layer to obtain a film with a thickness of 30 nm, where a ratio of the host materials to the doping material was 45%:45%:10%. A light-emitting layer was then sequentially evaporated with an ETL film layer (25 nm) and a LiQ film layer (1 nm), and finally evaporated with a layer of metal A1 (100 nm) as an electrode.
