This application claims priority to and the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2014-0129516, filed on Sep. 26, 2014, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, and all the benefits accruing therefrom under 35 U.S.C. §119, the content of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.
BACKGROUND
1. Field
The present disclosure relates to an organometallic compound and an organic light-emitting device including the same.
2. Description of the Related Art
Organic light-emitting devices are self-emission devices that have wide viewing angles, high contrast ratios, short response times, and excellent brightness, driving voltage, and response speed characteristics, and produce full-color images.
In an example, an organic light-emitting device includes an anode, a cathode, and an organic layer that is disposed between the anode and the cathode and includes an emission layer. A hole transport region may be disposed between the anode and the emission layer, and an electron transport region may be disposed between the emission layer and the cathode. Holes provided from the anode may move toward the emission layer through the hole transport region, and electrons provided from the cathode may move toward the emission layer through the electron transport region. The holes and the electrons are recombined in the emission layer to produce excitons. These excitons change from an excited state to a ground state, thereby generating light.
Nonetheless there remains a need for an improved material for the emission layer.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
These and/or other aspects will become apparent and more readily appreciated from the following description of the exemplary embodiments, taken in conjunction with FIG. 1 which is a schematic view of an embodiment of an organic light-emitting device.



DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout. In this regard, the present exemplary embodiments may have different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the descriptions set forth herein. Accordingly, the exemplary 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. “Or” means “and/or.” 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.
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.
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.
The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms, including “at least one,” unless the content clearly indicates otherwise. 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.
Furthermore, relative terms, such as “lower” or “bottom” and “upper” or “top,” may be used herein to describe one element's relationship to other elements 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.
“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%, 5% of the stated value.
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.
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.

L2 in Formula 1 is a ligand represented by Formula 2B, which is a phenyl-pyridinyl based bidentate ligand. Accordingly, the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 has a highest occupied molecular orbital (“HOMO”) energy level, lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (“LUMO”) energy level, and T1 energy level which are appropriate for use as a material for an electric device, for example, a material for an organic light-emitting device. Thus, an organic light-emitting device using the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 has excellent efficiency and lifespan characteristics.
R1 to R3 in Formula 2B are each independently a substituted or unsubstituted C1-C10 alkyl group and R12 in Formula 2B is not a hydrogen and a methyl group. As such, the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 may emit blue light, green light, or greenish blue light that is shifted toward relatively shorter wavelengths, and a device, for example, an organic light-emitting device, including the organometallic compound may have long lifespan.
In Formula 2B, a silyl group bonds to the fifth position of a pyridine ring (see Formula 2B). Due to the bonding, the organometallic compound including the ligand represented by Formula 2B has excellent heat resistance and decomposition resistance characteristics. Accordingly, a device, for example, an organic light-emitting device, including the organometallic compound has high stability during manufacturing, preserving, and/or driving, and long lifespan.
For example, HOMO, LUMO, singlet (S1) and triplet (T1) energy levels of some of the organometallic compounds and Compound A′ were evaluated by using a density functional theory (“DFT”) method of Gaussian program (structurally optimized at a level of B3LYP, 6-31 G(d,p)).

Accordingly, the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 provides higher charge mobility than Compound A′, and thus, an electric device, for example, an organic light-emitting device, including the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 may have excellent efficiency and lifespan characteristics. In addition, since the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 provides a wider color reproduction range than Compound A′, the use of the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 may enable production of a high-quality organic light-emitting device.
Synthesis methods of the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 may be understood to one of ordinary skill in the art by referring to Synthesis Examples provided.
The organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 is suitable for use in an organic layer of an organic light-emitting device, for example, for use as a dopant in an emission layer of the organic layer. Thus, another aspect provides an organic light-emitting device that includes: a first electrode; a second electrode; and an organic layer that is disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode and including an emission layer and at least one of the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1.
The organic light-emitting device may have, due to the inclusion of an organic layer including the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1, low driving voltage, high efficiency, high power, high quantum efficiency, long lifespan and excellent color coordinate.
The organometallic compound of Formula 1 may be used between a pair of electrodes of an organic light-emitting device to provide an emission layer. For example, the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 may be included in the emission layer. In this regard, the organometallic compound may act as a dopant, and the emission layer may further include a host, wherein an amount of the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 is less than an amount of the host.
In an embodiment, the organic layer, which includes at least one organometallic compound, may include two or more different organometallic compounds of Formula 1.
For example, the organic layer may include, as the organometallic compound, only Compound 1. In this regard, Compound 1 may be present in an emission layer of the organic light-emitting device. In some embodiments, the organic layer may include, as the organometallic compound, Compound 1 and Compound 2. In this regard, Compound 1 and Compound 2 may be present in a same layer, for example when an entirety of Compound 1 and Compound 2 are present in a same emission layer.
The first electrode may be an anode, which is a hole injection electrode, and the second electrode may be a cathode, which is an electron injection electrode; or the first electrode may be a cathode, which is an electron injection electrode, or the second electrode may be an anode, which is a hole injection electrode.
For example, the first electrode is an anode, and the second electrode is a cathode, and the organic layer includes i) a hole transport region that is disposed between the first electrode and the emission layer and includes at least one of a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, and an electron blocking layer, and ii) an electron transport region that is disposed between the emission layer and the second electrode and includes at least one selected from a hole blocking layer, an electron transport layer, and an electron injection layer.
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. The “organic layer” may include, in addition to an organic compound, an organometallic complex including metal.

For use as the substrate, any substrate that is used in general organic light-emitting devices may be used, and 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-proofness.
The first electrode 11 may be formed by depositing or sputtering a material for forming the first electrode on the substrate. The first electrode 11 may be an anode. The material for the first electrode 11 may be selected from materials with a high work function to allow holes be easily provided. The first electrode 11 may be a reflective electrode or a transmissive electrode. The material for the first electrode 11 may be an indium tin oxide (“ITO”), indium zinc oxide (“IZO”), tin oxide (SnO2), or zinc oxide (ZnO). In some embodiments, the material for the first electrode 11 may be metal, such as magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), aluminum-lithium (Al—Li), calcium (Ca), magnesium-indium (Mg—In), or magnesium-silver (Mg—Ag).
The first electrode 11 may have a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure including two or more layers. For example, the first electrode 11 may have a three-layered structure of ITO/Ag/ITO, but the structure of the first electrode 11 is not limited thereto.
An organic layer 15 is disposed on the first electrode 11.
The organic layer 15 may include a hole transport region, an emission layer, and an electron transport region.
The hole transport region may be disposed between the first electrode 11 and the emission layer.
The hole transport region may include at least one of a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an electron blocking layer, and a buffer layer.
The hole transport region may include only either a hole injection layer or a hole transport layer. According to another embodiment, the hole transport region may have a structure of hole injection layer/hole transport layer or hole injection layer/hole transport layer/electron blocking layer, which are sequentially stacked in this stated order from the first electrode 11.
