Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electron transport material and an organic electroluminescent device comprising the same.
  • An electroluminescent (EL) device is a self-light-emitting device with the advantages of providing a wider viewing angle, a greater contrast ratio, and a faster response time.
  • the first organic EL device was developed by Eastman Kodak, by using small aromatic diamine molecules and aluminum complexes as materials for forming a light-emitting layer (see Appl. Phys. Lett. 51, 913, 1987).
  • An organic EL device changes electric energy into light by the application of electric power into an organic light-emitting material, and commonly comprises an anode, a cathode, and an organic layer formed between the two electrodes.
  • the organic layer of the organic EL device may be composed of a hole injection layer (HIL), a hole transport layer (HTL), an electron blocking layer (EBL), a light-emitting layer (EML) (containing host and dopant materials), an electron buffer layer, a hole blocking layer (HBL), an electron transport layer (ETL), an electron injection layer (EIL), etc.; the materials used in the organic layer can be classified into a hole injection material, a hole transport material, an electron blocking material, a light-emitting material, an electron buffer material, a hole blocking material, an electron transport material, an electron injection material, etc., depending on functions.
  • the organic EL device In the organic EL device, holes from an anode and electrons from a cathode are injected into a light-emitting layer by the application of electric voltage, and an exciton having high energy is produced by the recombination of holes and electrons.
  • the organic light-emitting compound moves into an excited state by the energy and emits light from energy when the organic light-emitting compound returns to the ground state from the excited state.
  • the most important factor determining luminous efficiency in an organic EL device is light-emitting materials.
  • the light-emitting materials are required to have the following features: high quantum efficiency, high movement degree of an electron and a hole, and formability of a uniform and stable layer.
  • the light-emitting materials are classified into blue light-emitting materials, green light-emitting materials, and red light-emitting materials according to the light-emitting color, and further include yellow light-emitting materials or orange light-emitting materials.
  • the light-emitting material is classified into a host material and a dopant material in a functional aspect. Recently, an urgent task is the development of an organic EL device having high efficacy and long lifespan.
  • a host material should have high purity and a suitable molecular weight in order to be deposited under vacuum. Furthermore, a host material is required to have high glass transition temperature and pyrolysis temperature for guaranteeing thermal stability, high electrochemical stability for long lifespan, easy formability of an amorphous thin film, good adhesion with adjacent layers, and no movement between layers.
  • an electron transport material actively transports electrons from a cathode to a light-emitting layer and inhibits transport of holes which are not recombined in the light-emitting layer to increase recombination opportunity of holes and electrons in the light-emitting layer.
  • electron-affinitive materials are used as an electron transport material.
  • Organic metal complexes having light-emitting function such as Alq 3 are excellent in transporting electrons, and thus have been conventionally used as an electron transport material.
  • Alq 3 has problems in that it moves to other layers and shows reduction of color purity when used in blue light-emitting devices. Therefore, new electron transport materials have been required, which do not have the above problems, are highly electron-affinitive, and quickly transport electrons in organic EL devices to provide organic EL devices having high luminous efficiency.
