## Background
CLAIM OF PRIORITY
This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2011-0083558, filed on Aug. 22, 2011, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a heterocyclic compound represented by Formula 1 and an organic light-emitting device including the heterocyclic compound.
2. Description of the Related Art
Light-emitting devices are self-emission type display devices and have a wide viewing angle, a high contrast ratio, and a short response time. Due to these characteristics, light-emitting devices are drawing more attention. Such light-emitting devices can be roughly classified into inorganic light-emitting devices that include emission layers (EMLs) containing inorganic compounds, and organic light-emitting devices that include EMLs containing organic compounds. Specifically, organic light-emitting devices have higher brightness, lower driving voltages, and shorter response times than inorganic light-emitting devices, and can render multi-colored displays. Thus, much research into such organic light-emitting devices has been conducted. Generally, an organic light-emitting device has a stack structure including an anode, a cathode, and an organic EML interposed therebetween. However, a hole injection layer (HIL) and/or a hole transport layer (HTL) may further be stacked between the anode and the organic EML, and/or an electron transport layer (ETL) may further be stacked between the organic EML and the cathode. In other words, an organic light-emitting device may have a stack structure of anode/HTL/organic EML/cathode or a stack structure of anode/HTL/organic EML/ETL/cathode.
As a material for the organic EML, an anthracene derivative has been used.
However, organic light-emitting devices including such a known organic emission material do not have satisfactory life span, efficiency, and power consumption characteristics, thereby improvement in this regard still being necessary.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a heterocyclic compound having excellent electrical characteristics, charge transporting capabilities, and light-emission capabilities.
The present invention also provides an organic light-emitting device including the heterocyclic compound.
The present invention also provides a flat panel display device including the organic light-emitting device.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The above and other features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent by describing in detail exemplary embodiments thereof with reference to the attached drawing in which:
FIG. 1 illustrates an organic light-emitting device according to an embodiment of the present invention.



DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
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.
Anthracene derivatives are widely known as materials for forming an organic emission layer (EML). PBD, PF-6P, and PyPySPyPy, as well as Alq3, are also widely known as materials for forming an electron transport layer (ETL). For example, an organic light-emitting device manufactured using a compound of phenylanthracene dimer or trimer is widely known. However, such organic light-emitting devices have a narrow energy gap and lower blue-light color purity since two or three oligomeric species of anthracene are linked by conjugation.
In addition, such compounds are highly vulnerable to oxidation and thus are liable to produce impurities, necessitating purification. In order to overcome these drawbacks, organic light-emitting devices manufactured using an anthracene compound including a substituent of naphthalene at 1,9 position or using a diphenylanthracene compound including a substituent of an aryl group at m-position of the phenyl group have been introduced. However, these organic light-emitting devices have lower light-emission efficiency.
In addition, organic light-emitting devices manufactured using a naphthalene-substituted monoanthracene derivative have been introduced. However, the compound has a low light-emission efficiency of about 1 cd/A, and thus such organic light-emitting devices are not suitable for practical use. Organic light-emitting devices manufactured using compounds having a phenylanthracene structure have been introduced. However, these compounds are substituted with an aryl group at m-position, and thereby having a low light-emission efficiency of about 2 cd/A in spite of excellent thermal resistance.
The present invention will now be described in more detail.

Hereinafter, a method of manufacturing an organic light-emitting device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1. Referring to FIG. 1, the organic light-emitting device according to the present embodiment includes a substrate (not shown), a first electrode (anode), a HIL, a HTL, an EML, an ETL, an EIL, and a second electrode (cathode).
First, the first electrode is formed by depositing or sputtering a material for forming the first electrode having a high work function on a substrate. The first electrode may constitute an anode or a cathode. The substrate may be any substrate commonly used in organic light-emitting devices, and may (SnO2), zinc oxide (ZnO), aluminum (Al), silver (Ag), magnesium (Mg), or the like, which has excellent conductivity, and may form a transparent or reflective electrode.
Then, a HIL may be formed on the first electrode by vacuum deposition, spin coating, casting, Langmuir Blodgett (LB) deposition, or the like.
When the HIL is formed using vacuum deposition, the deposition conditions may vary according to a compound that is used to form the HIL, and the structure and thermal characteristics of the HIL to be formed. For example, the deposition conditions may include a deposition temperature of 100 to 500° C., a vacuum pressure of 10−8 to 10−3 torr, and a deposition rate of 0.01 to 100 Å/sec.
When the HIL is formed using spin coating, coating conditions may vary according to a compound that is used to form the HIL, and the structure and thermal properties of the HIL to be formed. For example, the coating conditions may include a coating speed of about 2,000 rpm to about 5,000 rpm, and a thermal treatment temperature of about 80° C. to about 200° C., wherein the thermal treatment is for removing a solvent after coating.
The HIL may be formed of any material that is commonly used to form a HIL.
Examples of the material include a phthalocyanine compound such as copperphthalocyanine, 4,4′,4′′-tris(3-methylphenylphenylamino)triphenylamine (m-MTDATA), N,N′-di(1-naphthyl)-N,N′-diphenylbenzidine (NPB), TDATA, 2T-NATA, polyaniline/dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid (Pani/DBSA), poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT/PSS), polyaniline/camphor sulfonicacid (Pani/CSA), and (polyaniline)/poly(4-styrenesulfonate (PANI/PSS), but are not limited thereto include, for example, a glass substrate or a transparent plastic substrate with excellent mechanical strength, thermal stability, transparency, surface smoothness, ease of handling, and water resistance. The material for forming the first electrode may be indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), tin oxide




The thickness of the HIL may be about 100 to 10,000 Å, and for example, 100 to 1,000 Å. When the HIL has a thickness within the above range, the HIL may have excellent hole injection characteristics without an increase in driving voltage.
Then, the HTL may be formed on the HIL using various methods, for example by vacuum deposition, spin coating, casting, and LB deposition. When the HTL is formed using vacuum deposition or spin coating, the deposition or coating conditions may be similar to those applied to form the HIL, although the deposition or coating conditions may vary according to a material used to form the HTL.
Alternatively, known HTL materials may be used. Examples of such HTL materials include, but are not limited to, carbazole derivatives such as N-phenylcarbazole or polyvinylcarbazole, and amine derivatives having an aromatic condensed ring, such as NPB and N,N′-bis(3-methylphenyl)-N,N′-diphenyl-[1,1-biphenyl]-4,4′-diamine (TPD).




The HTL may have a thickness of about 50 Å to about 1,000 Å, for example, about 100 Å to about 600 Å. When the HTL has a thickness within the above range, the HTL may have excellent hole transporting characteristics without a substantial increase in driving voltage.
Then, the EML may be formed on the HTL using various methods, for example, vacuum deposition, spin coating, casting, and LB deposition. When the EML is formed using vacuum deposition or spin coating, the deposition or coating conditions may be similar to those applied to form the HIL, although the deposition and coating conditions may vary according to a material that is used to form the EML.
The EML may include the heterocyclic compound described above. In particular, the heterocyclic compound may be used as a host or a dopant. The EML may be formed using a variety of well-known light-emitting materials instead of the heterocyclic compound. Alternatively, the EML may also be formed using a well-known host and a dopant. The dopant for forming the EML may include either a fluorescent dopant or a phosphorescent dopant, which are widely known in the art.
Examples of the host include Alq3, 4,4′-N,N′-dicarbazole-biphenyl (CBP), poly(n-vinylcarbazole) (PVK), 9,10-di(naphthalene-2-yl)anthracene (ADN), TCTA, 1,3,5-tris(N-phenylbenzimidazole-2-yl)benzene (TPBI), 3-tert-butyl-9,10-di(naphtha-2-yl)anthracene (TBADN), E3, and distyrylarylene (DSA), bur are not limited thereto.




Examples of well-known red dopants include platinum(II) octaethylporphyrin (PtOEP), Ir(piq)3, Btp2Ir(acac), and DCJTB, but are not limited thereto.




Examples of known green dopants include Ir(ppy)3 (where “ppy” denotes phenylpyridine), Ir(ppy)2(acac), Ir(mpyp)3, and C545T, but are not limited thereto.




Meanwhile, examples of the blue dopant include the heterocyclic compound represented by Formula 1. Alternatively, examples of well-known blue dopants include F2Irpic, (F2 ppy)2Ir(tmd), Ir(dfppz)3, ter-fluorene, 4,4′-bis(4-diphenylaminostyryl)biphenyl (DPAVBi), and 2,5,8,11-tetra-t-butyl pherylene (TBPe), but are not limited thereto.




The amount of the dopant may be in a range of about 0.1 to about 20 parts by weight, for example, about 0.5 to about 12 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the EML material (which is equivalent to the total weight of the host and the dopant). When the amount of the dopant is within the above range, concentration quenching may be substantially prevented.
The EML may have a thickness of about 100 Å to about 1,000 Å, for example, about 200 Å to about 600 Å. When the EML has a thickness within the above range, the EML may have excellent light-emitting characteristics without a substantial increase in driving voltage.
When the EML includes a phosphorescent dopant, an HBL (not shown in FIG. 1) may be formed on the EML in order to prevent diffusion of triplet excitons or holes into the ETL. In this case, the HBL may be formed of any material that is commonly used to form a HBL, without limitation. Examples of such HBL materials include oxadiazole derivatives, triazole derivatives, phenathroline derivatives, Balq, and BCP.
The HBL may have a thickness of about 50 Å to about 1,000 Å, for example, about 100 Å to about 300 Å. When the thickness of the HBL is within the range described above, the HBL may have excellent hole blocking characteristics without a substantial increase in driving voltage.
Then, the ETL is formed on the EML (or HBL) using various methods, for example, by vacuum deposition, spin coating, casting, or the like. When the ETL is formed using vacuum deposition or spin coating, the deposition or coating conditions may be similar to those applied to form the HIL, although the deposition and coating conditions may vary according to the material that is used to form the ETL.
The electron transporting material may include the heterocyclic compound described above. Alternatively, the ETL may be formed of any material that is widely known in the art. Examples of electron transporting materials include quinoline derivatives, such as tris(8-quinolinolate)aluminum (Alq3), TAZ, or Balq, but are not limited thereto.




The ETL may have a thickness of about 100 Å to about 1,000 Å, for example, about 100 Å to about 500 Å. When the ETL has a thickness within the above range, the ETL may have excellent electron transporting characteristics without a substantial increase in driving voltage.
In addition, the EIL, which facilitates injection of electrons from the cathode, may be formed on the ETL.
Alternatively, well-known materials, such as LiF, NaCl, CsF, Li2O, or BaO, may be used to form the EIL. The deposition or coating conditions for forming the EIL may be similar to those applied to form the HIL, although the deposition and coating conditions may vary according to the material that is used to form the EIL.
The EIL may have a thickness of about 1 Å to 100 Å, for example, about 5 Å to about 90 Å. When the EIL has a thickness within the above range, the EIL may have excellent electron injecting characteristics without a substantial increase in driving voltage.
Finally, the second electrode may be formed on the EIL using, for example, vacuum deposition, sputtering, or the like. The second electrode may constitute a cathode or an anode. The material for forming the second electrode may include a metal, an alloy, or an electrically conductive compound which has a low work function, or a mixture thereof. In this regard, the second electrode may be formed of lithium (Li), magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), aluminum (Al)-lithium (Li), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg)-indium (In), magnesium (Mg)-silver (Ag), or the like. In addition, in order to manufacture a top-emission type organic light-emitting device, a transparent cathode formed of a transparent material such as ITO or IZO may be used as the second electrode.
The organic light-emitting device according to the current embodiment may be included in various types of flat panel display devices, such as a passive matrix organic light-emitting display device or an active matrix organic light-emitting display device. In particular, when the organic light-emitting device is applied to an active matrix organic light-emitting display device including a thin-film transistor, the first electrode formed on the substrate may function as a pixel electrode, electrically connected to a source electrode or a drain electrode of the thin-film transistor. Moreover, the organic light-emitting device may also be applied to a flat panel display device having a double-sided screen.
According to an embodiment, an organic light-emitting device may include a plurality of organic layers, wherein at least one of the organic layers may be formed of the heterocyclic compound of the embodiments of the present application by using a deposition method or a wet method of coating a solution of the heterocyclic compound of the embodiments of the present application.
