Description
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0035] The above and other aspects, features, and advantages of certain embodiments of the disclosure will be more apparent from the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
[0036]
[0037]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0038] Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout. In this regard, the present embodiments may have different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the descriptions set forth herein. Accordingly, the embodiments are merely described below, by referring to the figures, to explain aspects. As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. Expressions such as “at least one of,” when preceding a list of elements, modify the entire list of elements and do not modify the individual elements of the list.
[0039] It will be understood that when an element is referred to as being “on” another element, it can be directly on the other element or intervening elements may be present therebetween In contrast, when an element is referred to as being “directly on” another element, there are no intervening elements present
[0040] It will be understood that, although the terms “first,” “second,” “third” etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers and/or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers and/or sections should not be limited by these terms These terms are only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer or section from another element, component, region, layer or section Thus, “a first element,” “component,” “region,” “layer” or “section” discussed below could be termed a second element, component, region, layer or section without departing from the teachings herein.
[0041] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. As used herein, “a,” “an,” “the,” and “at least one” do not denote a limitation of quantity, and are intended to cover both the singular and plural, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. For example, “an element” has the same meaning as “at least one element,” unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
[0042] “Or” means “and/or.” As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items It will be further understood that the terms “comprises” and/or “comprising,” or “includes” and/or “including” when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, regions, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, regions, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof.
[0043] Furthermore, relative terms, such as “lower” or “bottom” and “upper” or “top,” may be used herein to describe one element's relationship to another element as illustrated in the Figures It will be understood that relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in addition to the orientation depicted in the Figures For example, if the device in one of the figures is turned over, elements described as being on the “lower” side of other elements would then be oriented on “upper” sides of the other elements The exemplary term “lower,” can therefore, encompasses both an orientation of “lower” and “upper,” depending on the particular orientation of the figure Similarly, if the device in one of the figures is turned over, elements described as “below” or “beneath” other elements would then be oriented “above” the other elements The exemplary terms “below” or “beneath” can, therefore, encompass both an orientation of above and below.
[0044] “About” or “approximately” as used herein is inclusive of the stated value and means within an acceptable range of deviation for the particular value as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art, considering the measurement in question and the error associated with measurement of the particular quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system). For example, “about” can mean within one or more standard deviations, or within ±30%, 20%, 10% or 5% of the stated value.
[0045] Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs It will be further understood that terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and the present disclosure, and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly so defined herein.
[0046] Exemplary embodiments are described herein with reference to cross section illustrations that are schematic illustrations of idealized embodiments As such, variations from the shapes of the illustrations as a result, for example, of manufacturing techniques and/or tolerances, are to be expected Thus, embodiments described herein should not be construed as limited to the particular shapes of regions as illustrated herein but are to include deviations in shapes that result, for example, from manufacturing. For example, a region illustrated or described as flat may, typically, have rough and/or nonlinear features Moreover, sharp angles that are illustrated may be rounded Thus, the regions illustrated in the figures are schematic in nature and their shapes are not intended to illustrate the precise shape of a region and are not intended to limit the scope of the present claims.

[0160] In the polycyclic compound represented by Formula 1, the sum of a1, a2, a3, a4, and a5 may be 1 or greater. That is, the polycyclic compound represented by Formula 1 may include at least one group represented by Formula 2 as a substituent. Accordingly, without wishing to be bound by theory, in the group represented by Formula 2, due to sp.sup.3 carbon in *—C(R.sub.21)(R.sub.22)(R.sub.23), the conjugation length of the polycyclic compound represented by Formula 1 may be shortened. Thus, a maximum emission wavelength of the polycyclic compound may be blue-shifted. Accordingly, an electronic device, e.g., an organic light-emitting device, including the polycyclic compound may emit, for example, deep blue light with high efficiency.
[0161] Further, in the polycyclic compound represented by Formula 1, the sum of b1, b2, and b3 may be 1 or greater. That is, the polycyclic compound represented by Formula 1 may include at least one group represented by Formula 3 as a substituent. Accordingly, orbital energy control of the polycyclic compound may be facilitated, thus optimizing an energy level to emit deep blue light.
[0162] The highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy level, lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy level, S.sub.1 energy level (emission), S.sub.1 energy level (absorption), and T.sub.1 energy level (emission) of each of Compounds 2, 4, 19, and 25 of polycyclic compounds represented by Formula 1 and Comparative Compound C.sub.1 were evaluated by using Gaussian 09 that performs molecular structure optimizations according to density functional theory (DFT) at a degree of B3LYP. The results thereof are shown in Table 1.
TABLE-US-00001 TABLE 1 S.sub.1 S.sub.1 T.sub.1 HOMO LUMO (emission) (absorption) (emission) No. (eV) (eV) (eV) (eV) (eV) 19 −4.897 −1.227 3.124 3.188 2.669 25 −4.905 −1.302 3.067 3.127 2.622 2 −4.807 −1.191 3.072 3.133 2.611 4 −4.798 −1.189 3.062 3.127 2.605 C1 −4.681 −1.008 3.052 3.114 2.597 Compound C1
[0163] Compounds 2, 4, 19, and 25 were each found to have a deeper HOMO energy level, as compared with Comparative Compound C1.
[0164] The polycyclic compound represented by Formula 1 may be suitable for use as an organic layer material of an organic light-emitting device, for example, an emission layer material, a hole transport region material, and/or an electron transport region material of the organic layer.
[0165] Accordingly, according to an aspect of another embodiment, an organic light-emitting device may include: a first electrode; a second electrode; and an organic layer between the first electrode and the second electrode, the organic layer including an emission layer and at least one polycyclic compound described above.
[0166] Since the organic light-emitting device has an organic layer including the polycyclic compound, the organic light-emitting device may have a low driving voltage, high efficiency, high luminance, high quantum efficiency, and long lifespan.
[0167] As used herein, the expression the “(organic layer) includes at least one polycyclic compound” may be construed as meaning the “(organic layer) may include one polycyclic compound of Formula 1 or two different polycyclic compounds of Formula 1.”
[0168] For example, Compound 1 may only be included as the polycyclic compound in the organic layer. In this embodiment, Compound 1 may be included in the emission layer of the organic light-emitting device. In some embodiments, the organic layer may include Compounds 1 and 2 as the polycyclic compounds. In this embodiment, Compounds 1 and 2 may both be included in the same layer (for example, both Compounds 1 and 2 may be included in the emission layer).
[0169] In an embodiment, the at least one polycyclic compound may be included in the emission layer of the organic light-emitting device.
[0170] For example, the emission layer in the organic light-emitting device may include a host and a dopant, and the dopant may include the at least one polycyclic compound. That is, the polycyclic compound may serve as a dopant. The emission layer may emit blue light, for example, blue light having a maximum emission wavelength in a range of about 440 nanometers (nm) to about 470 nm.
[0171] In some embodiments, the at least one polycyclic compound may serve as a host in the emission layer. In this embodiment, the emission layer may further include a phosphorescent dopant as an emission dopant.
[0172] In some embodiments, the at least one polycyclic compound may serve as an ancillary dopant in the emission layer.
[0173] The first electrode may be anode, which is a hole injection electrode, and the second electrode may be a cathode, which is an electron injection electrode. Alternatively, the first electrode may be a cathode, which is an electron injection electrode, and the second electrode may be an anode, which is a hole injection electrode.
[0174] In some embodiments, the first electrode may be an anode, the second electrode may be a cathode, and the organic layer may include a hole transport region between the first electrode and the emission layer and an electron transport region between the emission layer and the second electrode, wherein the hole transport region may include a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an electron blocking layer, or a combination thereof, and the electron transport region may include a hole blocking layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, or a combination thereof.
[0175] For example, the polycyclic compound may be included in at least one of the hole transport region and the electron transport region.

[0274] An organic light-emitting device was manufactured in the same manner as in Example 1, except that Compound 25 was used instead of Compound 19 as an emitter in the formation of the emission layer.
Comparative Example 1
[0275] An organic light-emitting device was manufactured in the same manner as in Example 1, except that Compound C2 was used instead of Compound 19 as an emitter in the formation of the emission layer.
Comparative Example 2
[0276] An organic light-emitting device was manufactured in the same manner as in Example 1, except that Compound C1 was used instead of Compound 19 as an emitter in the formation of the emission layer.
Evaluation Example 2: Evaluation of Characteristics of Organic Light-Emitting Device
[0277] The maximum emission wavelength of the EL spectrum, the maximum external quantum luminescence efficiency, and lifespan (T.sub.80) of each of the organic light-emitting devices manufactured in Examples 1 and 2 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 were evaluated. The results thereof are shown in Table 2. The lifespan (T.sub.80) indicates time (hour) for the luminance of each light-emitting device to decline to 80% of its initial luminance of 100%. EL spectra of the manufactured organic light-emitting devices at a luminance of 1,000 candelas per square meter (cd/m.sup.2) were measured by using a luminance meter (Minolta Cs-1000A). Then, the maximum emission wavelength was evaluated. A Keithley 2400 current voltmeter and a luminance meter (Minolta Cs-1000A) were used in evaluation of the external quantum luminescence efficiency. The maximum external quantum efficiency in Table 2 is shown as a percentage based on 16.3% of the external quantum efficiency of Comparative Example 1. The lifespan (T.sub.80) in Table 2 is shown as a percentage of the lifespan (T.sub.80) of Comparative Example 1.

[0278] Referring to the results in Table 2, the organic light-emitting devices of Examples 1 and 2 were each found to have an improved maximum external quantum efficiency, as compared with the organic light-emitting devices of Comparative Examples 1 and 2. In particular, lifespan characteristics of the organic light-emitting devices of Examples 1 and 2 were significantly improved, as compared with the organic light-emitting devices of Comparative Examples 1 and 2.
[0279] As apparent from the foregoing description, an organic light-emitting device including the polycyclic compound may have a high efficiency and a high colorimetric purity.
