Abstract

The present invention discloses a 9,10-dihydro-acridine derivative having a structure of Formula (I). The compound has a suitable HOMO energy level that matches that of an anode and light emitting layer when used as a material of a hole transport layer, thus reducing the potential barrier needed to overcome when holes are transported to the light emitting layer, and reducing the operating voltage of the device. Moreover, the 9,10-dihydro-acridine derivative has high triplet energy level and LUMO level, to avoid the returning of energy from the light emitting layer, retain the electrons in the light emitting layer, increase the probability of recombination of electrons and holes in the light emitting layer, and enhance the luminescence efficiency of the device. The compound of Formula (I) has high glass transition temperature, good film forming performance, and high thermal stability. The present invention further discloses an organic light-emitting device having at least one functional layer containing the 9,10-dihydro-acridine derivative. When the compound is used as a material of the hole transport layer, a light-emitting device of high luminescence efficiency and low driving voltage is obtained.

Example 74

(429) This example provides an organic light-emitting device, which includes, from bottom to top, an anode 1, a hole injection layer 1, a hole transport layer 3, a light emitting layer 4, an electron transport layer 5, an electron injection layer 6 and a cathode 7 stacked in sequence. As shown in FIG. 2.

(430) In the organic light-emitting device, the material of the anode is ITO; and the material of the cathode 7 is the metal Al.

(431) The material of the hole injection layer 2 is HAT(CN)6, having a chemical structure as shown below:

(432) ##STR00199##

(433) The material of the hole injection layer 2 is the 9,10-dihydro-acridine derivative of Formula C-2:

(434) ##STR00200##

(435) The light emitting layer 4 is formed by blending the host material RH and the guest material RD, where the weight ratio of the host material RH and the guest material RD blended is 100:5:

(436) ##STR00201##

(437) The material of the electron transport layer 5 is a compound having a structure below:

(438) ##STR00202##

(439) The material of the electron injection layer 6 is formed by a compound having a structure below, blended with the electron injection material LiF:

(440) ##STR00203##

(441) The organic light-emitting device is configured to have a particular structure of ITO/hole injection layer (HIL)/hole transport layer (HTL, the compound of Formula C-2)/organic light emitting layer (in which the weight ratio of RH:RD is 100:5)/electron transport layer (ETL)/electron injection layer (EIL/LiF)/cathode (Al).

(442) In the organic light-emitting device, since the material of the hole transport layer is the 9,10-dihydro-acridine derivative of Formula C-2, the energy level of the 9,10-dihydro-acridine derivative of Formula C-2 is compared with that of NPB, as shown in FIG. 2.

(443) ##STR00204##
in the compound of Formula C-2 is a group having strong electron donating performance, and the nitrogen atom in the dihydro-acridinyl group forms an aminium radical under the action of an electric field, thus creating a good hole mobility, and ensuring the effective transport of holes in the transport layer. Moreover, in the compound of Formula C-2, a carbazolyl group substituted with phenyl is introduced at the position of Ar.sub.2, so the hole transport performance is further improved by taking advantage of the electron donating performance of the carbazolyl group. The 9,10-dihydro-acridine derivative of Formula C-2, has suitable HOMO level, and can reduce the potential barrier needed to overcome when holes are injected from the anode to the light emitting layer and thus increase the effective injection of holes, thereby reducing the operating voltage of the device and improving the luminescence efficiency of the device.

(444) In the structure of Formula C-2, the dihydro-acridinyl group having a high triplet energy level is linked to a dibenzofuryl group via a σ bond, such that the structure of Formula C-2 has improved triplet energy level. The introduction of modifying groups via a a bond allows the adjustment of the triplet energy level (T.sub.1) of the 9,10-dihydro-acridine derivative of Formula C-2. The high triplet energy level of the 9,10-dihydro-acridine derivative of Formula C-2 facilitates the confining of excitons formed by recombination of electrons and holes in a light emitting region of the light emitting layer of an OLED device, so as to avoid the returning of energy from the light emitting layer to the adjacent hole transport layer. Furthermore, the 9,10-dihydro-acridine derivative of such a connection mode has an elevated LUMO level, which increases the blocking effect for electrons, and makes the electrons retained in the light emitting layer effectively, thereby increasing the probability of recombination of electrons and holes, and improving the luminescence efficiency of the device.

(445) The 9,10-dihydro-acridine derivative of Formula C-2 has high glass transition temperature, good thermal stability and morphological stability, and excellent film-forming performance, and is not amenable to crystallization during the film formation process or during the operation of the OLED device due to heat generation after film formation, thus improving the performance and service life of the device.

(446) In an alternative embodiment, the guest luminescent material in the light emitting layer may also be any 9,10-dihydro-acridine derivative of Formulas (C-1) and (C-3)-(C-109).

(447) In an alternative embodiment, the guest luminescent material in the light emitting layer may also be any other compounds having a chemical structure of general Formula (I).
