To manufacture an organic light-emitting device that has a high luminescent efficiency and long lifespan, the hole transport material may have a triplet energy of more than 2.4 eV, and an electron affinity of about 2.2 eV to about 2.7 eV. In an implementation, the hole transport material may have a triplet energy of about 3.0 eV to about 3.2 eV.
According to an embodiment, an organic light-emitting device may include a hole transport layer, an emission layer including phosphorescent metal complex and one or more host materials, and an electron transport layer between a cathode and an anode. The hole transport material of the hole transport layer may have a triplet energy of, e.g., about 2.4 to about 3.2 eV, and an electron affinity of, e.g., about 2.2 to about 2.6 eV.
The triplet energy of the hole transport material used herein may be, e.g., from about 2.4 to about 2.8 eV. Maintaining the triplet energy of the hole transport material at about 2.4 eV or greater may help ensure that the light-emitting exciton of the organic light-emitting device are not quenched, thereby maintaining efficiency. Maintaining the triplet energy of the hole transport material at about 3.2 eV or less may help prevent an energy gap (Eg) from becoming too high, thereby helping to maintain a good lifespan.
When the ionization potential of the hole transport material used herein is less than 5.8 eV considering the adjacent layers, holes may be easily provided from an electrode or a hole injection layer. If the Eg of the hole transport material were to be too high, a lifespan of the organic light-emitting device could be shortened. In an implementation, the electron affinity may be from about 2.2 to about 2.6 eV, e.g., from about 2.3 to about 2.5 eV, considering the proper ionization potential range of the hole transport material. Maintaining the electron affinity at about 2.6 eV or less may help ensure that electrons are effectively blocked, thereby helping to prevent undesirable quenching of excitons. Maintaining the electron affinity at about 2.2 eV or greater may help ensure that the band gap of the material does not have too wide a band gap at a proper ionization potential level, thereby helping to ensure a good lifespan.
In an implementation, adjacent substituents from among R1 to R3 may bind to each other to form a ring.

The expression that “(an organic layer) includes at least one condensed cyclic compounds” used herein may include a case in which “(an organic layer) includes identical compounds represented by Formula 1 and a case in which two or more different condensed cyclic compounds represented by Formula 1.
The term “organic layer” used herein refers to a single layer and/or a plurality of layers disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode of an organic light-emitting device. A material included in the “organic layer” is not limited to an organic material.
FIG. 1 illustrates a schematic view of an organic light-emitting device 10 according to an embodiment. The organic light-emitting device 10 may include a first electrode 110, an organic layer 150, and a second electrode 190.
Hereinafter, the structure of an organic light-emitting device according to an embodiment and a method of manufacturing an organic light-emitting device according to an embodiment will be described in connection with FIG. 1.
In FIG. 1, a substrate may be additionally disposed under the first electrode 110 or above the second electrode 190. The substrate may be a glass substrate or transparent plastic substrate, each with excellent mechanical strength, thermal stability, transparency, surface smoothness, ease of handling, and water repellency.
The first electrode 110 may be formed by depositing or sputtering a material for forming the first electrode on the substrate. When the first electrode 110 is an anode, the material for the first electrode may be selected from materials with a high work function to make holes be easily injected. The first electrode 110 may be a reflective electrode or a transmissive electrode. The material for the first electrode may be a transparent and highly conductive material, and examples of such a material are indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), tin oxide (SnO2), and zinc oxide (ZnO). When the first electrode 110 is a semi-transmissive electrode or a reflective electrode, as a material for forming the first electrode, at least one of magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), aluminum-lithium (Al—Li), calcium (Ca), magnesium-indium (Mg—In), magnesium-silver (Mg—Ag) may be used.
The first electrode 110 may have a single-layer structure, or a multi-layer structure including two or more layers. For example, the first electrode 110 may have a three-layered structure of ITO/Ag/ITO, but the structure of the first electrode 110 is not limited thereto.
An organic layer 150 may be disposed on the first electrode 110. The organic layer 150 may include an emission layer.
The organic layer 150 may further include a hole transport region between the first electrode and the emission layer, and/or an electron transport region between the emission layer and the second electrode.
The hole transport region may include a hole transport layer (HTL), and at least one selected from a hole injection layer (HIL) and a buffer layer. The electron transport region may include a hole blocking layer (HBL), and at least one selected from an electron transport layer (ETL) and an electron injection layer (EIL), but they are not limited thereto.
The hole transport region may have a single-layered structure formed of a single material, a single-layered structure formed of a plurality of different materials, or a multi-layered structure having a plurality of layers formed of a plurality of different materials.
For example, the hole transport region may have a single-layered structure formed of a plurality of different materials, or a structure of hole injection layer/hole transport layer, a structure of hole injection layer/hole transport layer/buffer layer, a structure of hole injection layer/buffer layer, a structure of hole transport layer/buffer layer, or a structure of hole injection layer/hole transport layer/electron blocking layer, wherein layers of each structure are sequentially stacked from the first electrode 110 in this stated order, but are not limited thereto.
When the hole transport region includes a hole injection layer, the hole injection layer may be formed on the first electrode 110 by using various methods, such as vacuum deposition, spin coating casting, a Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) method, ink-jet printing, laser-printing, or laser-induced thermal imaging.
When a hole injection layer is formed by vacuum deposition, e.g., the vacuum deposition may be performed at a temperature of a deposition temperature of about 100 to about 500° C., at a vacuum degree of about 10−8 to about 10−3 torr, and at a deposition rate of about 0.01 to about 100 Å/sec in consideration of a compound for a hole injection layer to be deposited, and the structure of a hole injection layer to be formed.
When a hole injection layer is formed by spin coating, the spin coating may be performed at a coating rate of about 2,000 rpm to about 5,000 rpm, and at a temperature of about 80° C. to 200° C. in consideration of a compound for a hole injection layer to be deposited, and the structure of a hole injection layer to be formed.
When the hole transport region includes a hole transport layer, the hole transport layer may be formed on the first electrode 110 or the hole injection layer by using various methods, such as vacuum deposition, spin coating, casting, a LB method, ink-jet printing, laser-printing, or laser-induced thermal imaging. When the hole transport layer is formed by vacuum deposition or spin coating, deposition and coating conditions for the hole transport layer may be the same as the deposition and coating conditions for the hole injection layer.
According to an embodiment, the hole transport layer may include a hole transport material having a triplet energy of about 2.4 to about 3.2 eV, and an electron affinity of about 2.2 to about 2.6 eV. The triplet energy (ETHTL) of the hole transport material may be greater than the triplet energy (ETd) of a dopant of an emission layer and/or the triplet energy (EThost) of a host of the emission layer.
A thickness of the hole transport region may be in a range of about 100 Å to about 10,000 Å, e.g., about 100 Å to about 1,000 Å. When the hole transport region includes a hole injection layer and a hole transport layer, the thickness of the hole injection layer may be in a range of about 100 Å to about 10,000 Å, e.g., about 100 Å to about 1,000 Å, and the thickness of the hole transport layer may be in a range of about 50 Å to about 2,000 Å, e.g., about 100 Å to about 1,500 Å. When the thicknesses of the hole transport region, the hole injection layer, and the hole transport layer are within these ranges, satisfactory hole transporting characteristics may be obtained without a substantial increase in driving voltage.
The hole transport region may further include, in addition to these materials, a charge-generation material to help improve conductive properties. The charge-generation material may be homogeneously or non-homogeneously dispersed in the hole transport region.
The charge-generation material may be, e.g., a p-dopant. The p-dopant may be one of, e.g., a quinone derivative, a metal oxide, or a cyano group-containing compound. Examples of the p-dopant may include a quinone derivative, such as tetracyanoquinonedimethane (TCNQ) or 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-tetracyano-1,4-benzoquinonedimethane (F4-TCNQ); a metal oxide, such as a tungsten oxide or a molybdenum oxide, and Compound HT-D1 illustrated below, but are not limited thereto.








The hole transport region may further include a buffer layer, in addition to an electron blocking layer, a hole injection layer, and a hole transport layer. The buffer layer may help compensate for an optical resonance distance according to a wavelength of light emitted from the emission layer, and luminescent efficiency of a formed organic light-emitting device may be improved. For use as a material included in the buffer layer, materials that are included in the hole transport region may be used. The electron blocking layer prevents injection of electrons from the electron transport region.
The emission layer is formed on the first electrode 110 or the hole transport region by using various methods, such as vacuum deposition, spin coating, casting, a LB method, ink-jet printing, laser-printing, or laser-induced thermal imaging. When the emission layer is formed by vacuum deposition or spin coating, deposition and coating conditions for the emission layer may be determined by referring to the deposition and coating conditions for the hole injection layer.
When the organic light-emitting device 10 is a full color organic light-emitting device, the emission layer may be patterned into a red emission layer, a green emission layer, or a blue emission layer, according to a sub pixel. In some embodiments, the emission layer may have a stacked structure of a red emission layer, a green emission layer, and a blue emission layer, or may include a red-light emission material, a green-light emission material, and a blue-light emission material, which are mixed with each other in a single layer, to emit white light.
The emission layer may include a host and a dopant.
According to an embodiment, the host and the dopant may be materials that satisfy the condition in which the triplet energy (ETHTL) of the hole transport material is greater than the triplet energy (ETd) of the dopant in the emission layer and the triplet energy (EThost) of the host of the emission layer.
The host may further include, in addition to compounds satisfying the above-described relationship, other suitable materials, e.g., at least one selected from TPBi, TBADN, ADN (also referred to as “DNA”), CBP, CDBP, and TCP:

Referring to Table 1 and Table 2, when a hole transport material and an emission layer host met the above conditions, it may be that an organic light-emitting device exhibited better light-emitting characteristics compared to those of other devices.
By way of summation and review, in an organic light-emitting device, a structure formed by sequentially stacking an anode, a hole transport layer, an organic emission layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, and a cathode may help prevent quenching of light generated by triplet excitons.
Arylamine-based hole transport materials may be used as a material for a hole transport layer. However, due to a low T1 level and energy level mis-matching in a device, excitons in a phosphorescent emission layer may be quenched. Accordingly, manufacturing a high-efficiency device may be difficult.
In the case of TAPC and the like used as a hole transport material, TAPC, e.g., may have a triplet energy of more than 2.87 eV to help suppress the quenching phenomenon but may have a shortened lifespan due to an electron affinity that is below a certain level. For example, an energy band gap may be, and the electron affinity may go below the certain level.
The embodiments may provide an organic light-emitting device that has a high luminescent efficiency and a long lifespan, in which the organic light-emitting device generates light by phosphorescent emission. The hole transport material may have a triplet energy of more than 2.4 eV and may help suppress a quenching phenomenon, e.g., to help prevent quenching of light generated by the phosphorescent light-emitting device.
The embodiments may provide an organic light-emitting device having suppressed quenching phenomenon, and stabilized efficiency and lifespan.
As described above, according to the one or more of the above embodiments, organic light-emitting devices may have improved lifespan characteristics and high efficiency.
Example embodiments have been disclosed herein, and although specific terms are employed, they are used and are to be interpreted in a generic and descriptive sense only and not for purpose of limitation. In some instances, as would be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art as of the filing of the present application, features, characteristics, and/or elements described in connection with a particular embodiment may be used singly or in combination with features, characteristics, and/or elements described in connection with other embodiments unless otherwise specifically indicated. Accordingly, it will be understood by those of skill in the art that various changes in form and details may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as set forth in the following claims.
