Organic compound based on azabenzene and benzimidazole and application of organic compound to OLED
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductors, in particular to an organic compound taking aza-benzene and benzimidazole as cores and application thereof in an OLED (organic light emitting diode).
Background
The Organic Light Emission Diodes (OLED) device technology can be used for manufacturing novel display products and novel lighting products, is expected to replace the existing liquid crystal display and fluorescent lamp lighting, and has wide application prospect. The OLED light-emitting device is like a sandwich structure and comprises electrode material film layers and organic functional materials clamped between different electrode film layers, and various different functional materials are mutually overlapped together according to purposes to form the OLED light-emitting device. When voltage is applied to electrodes at two ends of the OLED light-emitting device and positive and negative charges in the organic layer functional material film layer are acted through an electric field, the positive and negative charges are further compounded in the light-emitting layer, and OLED electroluminescence is generated.
Currently, the OLED display technology has been applied in the fields of smart phones, tablet computers, and the like, and further will be expanded to the large-size application fields of televisions and the like. However, since there is a great gap between the external quantum efficiency and the internal quantum efficiency of the OLED, the development of the OLED is greatly restricted. Therefore, how to improve the light extraction efficiency of the OLED becomes a hot point of research. Total reflection occurs at the interface between the ITO thin film and the glass substrate and at the interface between the glass substrate and the air, the light emitted to the front external space of the OLED device accounts for about 20% of the total amount of the organic material thin film EL, and the remaining about 80% of the light is mainly confined in the organic material thin film, the ITO thin film and the glass substrate in the form of guided waves. It can be seen that the light extraction efficiency of the conventional OLED device is low (about 20%), which severely restricts the development and application of the OLED. How to reduce the total reflection effect in the OLED device and improve the ratio of light coupled to the forward external space of the device (light extraction efficiency) has attracted much attention.
Currently, an important method for improving the external quantum efficiency of the OLED is to form structures such as folds, photonic crystals, microlens arrays (MLA), and the addition of surface coatings on the light-emitting surface of the substrate. The first two structures can influence the radiation spectrum angle distribution of the OLED, the third structure is complex in manufacturing process, the surface covering layer is simple in process, the luminous efficiency is improved by more than 30%, and people pay particular attention to the structure. According to the optical principle, when light is transmitted through the material with the refractive index n1To a refractive index of n2When (n) is1>n2) Only in arcsin (n)2/n1) Can be incident within an angle of n2The absorbance B can be calculated by the following formula:
let n1=nOrganic materials for OLEDs in general=1.70,n2=nGlassWhen 1.46, 2B is 0.49. Assuming that the light propagating outward is totally reflected by the metal electrode, only 51% of the light can be guided by the high refractive index organic film and the ITO layer, and the transmittance of the light when it is emitted from the glass substrate to the air can be calculated as well. So that only about 17% of the light emitted from the organic layer is visible to humans when it exits the exterior of the device. Therefore, in view of the current situation that the light extraction efficiency of the OLED device is low, a CPL layer, that is, a light extraction material needs to be added in the device structure, and according to the principles of optical absorption and refraction, the refractive index of the surface covering layer material should be as high as possible.
Current research into improving the performance of OLED light emitting devices includes: the driving voltage of the device is reduced, the luminous efficiency of the device is improved, the service life of the device is prolonged, and the like. In order to realize the continuous improvement of the performance of the OLED device, not only the innovation of the structure and the manufacturing process of the OLED device but also the continuous research and innovation of the photoelectric functional material of the OLED are required to create the functional material of the OLED with higher performance.
