Title: Organic compound and organic electroluminescence device using the same

Description:
FIELD OF INVENTION 
     The present invention relates to a novel organic compound and, more particularly, to an organic electroluminescence device using the organic compound. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     An organic electroluminescence (organic EL) device is an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) in which the light emitting layer is a film made from organic compounds, which emits light in response to the electric current. The light emitting layer containing the organic compound is sandwiched between two electrodes. The organic EL device is applied to flat panel displays due to its high illumination, low weight, ultra-thin profile, self-illumination without back light, low power consumption, wide viewing angle, high contrast, simple fabrication methods and rapid response time. 
     Typically, the organic EL device is composed of organic material layers sandwiched between two electrodes. The organic material layers include, e.g., hole injection layer (HIL), hole transporting layer (HTL), emitting layer (EML), electron transporting layer (ETL), and electron injection layer (EIL). The basic mechanism of organic EL involves the injection, transport, and recombination of carriers as well as exciton formation for emitting light. When an external voltage is applied across the organic EL device, electrons and holes are injected from the cathode and the anode, respectively. Electrons will be injected from the cathode into a LUMO (lowest unoccupied molecular orbital) and holes will be injected from the anode into a HOMO (highest occupied molecular orbital). Subsequently, the electrons recombine with holes in the light emitting layer to form excitons, which then deactivate to emit light. When luminescent molecules absorb energy to achieve an excited state, the exciton may either be in a singlet state or a triplet state, depending on how the spins of the electrons and holes have been combined. It is well known that the excitons formed under electrical excitation typically include 25% singlet excitons and 75% triplet excitons. In the fluorescence materials, however, the electrically generated energy in the 75% triplet excitons will be dissipated as heat for decay from the triplet state is spin forbidden. Therefore, a fluorescent electroluminescence device has only 25% internal quantum efficiency, which leads to the theoretically highest external quantum efficiency (EQE) of only 5% due to only ˜20% of the light out-coupling efficiency of the device. In contrast to fluorescent electroluminescence devices, phosphorescent organic EL devices make use of spin-orbit interactions to facilitate intersystem crossing between singlet and triplet states, thus obtaining emission from both singlet and triplet states and the internal quantum efficiency of electroluminescence devices from 25% to 100%. 
     However, there is still a need for improvement in the case of use of those organic materials in an organic EL device of some prior art displays, for example, in relation to the half-life time, current efficiency or driving voltage of the organic EL device. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     Accordingly, an object of the invention is to provide an organic compound and an organic EL device using the same, which can exhibit improved luminance, current efficiency, or half-life time. 
     Another object of the invention is to provide an organic compound and an organic EL device using the same, which may lower a driving voltage or increasing a current efficiency or half-life time of the organic EL device. 
     Still another object of the present invention is to provide an organic compound, which can be used as a phosphorescent host material, a fluorescent host material, or a fluorescent dopant material in the emitting layer, and/or an electron transporting material (ETM), or an hole blocking material (HBM) in an organic EL device to improve the power consumption, luminance, current efficiency, or life time. 
     According to the present invention, an organic compound which may be used in organic EL devices is disclosed. The organic compound may be represented by the following formula (1):

The heteroaryl group may comprise, for example, a heteroaromatic PAHs unit having two, three, four, five or six rings. The heteroaromatic PAHs may contain an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom or one, two or three N atoms.

     General Method of Producing Organic EL Device 
     ITO-coated glasses with 9-12 ohm/square in resistance and 120-160 nm in thickness are provided (hereinafter ITO substrate) and cleaned in a number of cleaning steps in an ultrasonic bath (e.g. detergent, deionized water). Before vapor deposition of the organic layers, cleaned ITO substrates are further treated by UV and ozone. All pre-treatment processes for ITO substrate are under clean room (class 100). 
     The organic layers are applied onto the ITO substrate in order by vapor deposition in a high-vacuum unit (10 −7  Torr), such as: resistively heated quartz boats. The thickness of the respective layer and the vapor deposition rate (0.1˜0.3 nm/sec) are precisely monitored or set with the aid of a quartz-crystal monitor. It is also possible, as described above, for individual layers to consist of more than one compound, i.e. in general a host material doped with a dopant material. This is successfully achieved by co-vaporization from two or more sources, which means the organic compounds of the present invention are thermally stable. 
     Dipyrazino[2,3-f:2,3-]quinoxaline-2,3,6,7,10,11-hexacarbonitrile(HA T-CN) is used as hole injection layer in this organic EL device, N,N-Bis(naphthalene-1-yl)-N,N-bis(phenyl)-benzidine(NPB) is most widely used as the hole transporting layer; 10,10-dimethyl-13-(3-(pyren-1-yl)phenyl)-10H-indeno[2,1-b]triphenylene(H1) and 10,10-dimethyl-12-(10-(4-(naphthalene-1-yl)-phenyl)anthracen-9-yl)-10H-indeno[2,1-b]triphenylene(H2) are used as emitting hosts in organic EL device. D1 is used as blue guest, D2 is used as green guest for comparison; HB3 (see the following chemical structure) are used as hole blocking material(HBM) and 2-(naphthalen-1-yl)-9-(4-(1-(4-(10-(naphthalene-2-yl)anthracen-9-yl)phenyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)phenyl)-1,10-phenanthroline(ET2) is used as electron transporting material to co-deposit with 8-hydroxyquinolato-lithium(LiQ) in organic EL device.

     A typical organic EL device consists of low work function metals, such as Al, Mg, Ca, Li and K, as the cathode, and the low work function metals can help electrons injecting the electron transporting layer from cathode. In addition, for reducing the electron injection barrier and improving the organic EL device performance, a thin-film electron injecting layer is introduced between the cathode and the electron transporting layer. The materials of electron injecting layer are metal halide or metal oxide with low work function, such as: LiF, LiQ, MgO, or Li 2 O. On the other hand, after the organic EL device fabrication, EL spectra and CIE coordination are measured by using a PR650 spectra scan spectrometer. Furthermore, the current/voltage, luminescence/voltage and yield/voltage characteristics are taken with a Keithley 2400 programmable voltage-current source. The above-mentioned apparatuses are operated at room temperature (about 25° C.) and under atmospheric pressure.

     In Table 1, the organic compound of formula (1) used as a fluorescent blue host or dopant material may exhibit better performance than the prior art materials. In particular, an organic EL device of the present invention comprises an organic compound of formula (1) as a dopant material or a host material to collocate with a host material H1 or H2 or a dopant material D1, thereby lowering a driving voltage, improving luminance, or increasing a current efficiency or a half-life time under the same voltage of the organic EL device. 
     Example 17 
     Using a procedure analogous to the above-mentioned method, as shown in the FIGURE, an organic EL device having the following device structure, from the bottom layer  10  to the top layer  80 , is produced: ITO/HAT-CN(20 nm)/NPB (110 nm)/H2+5% D1 (30 nm)/HB3 (10 nm)/ET2 doped with 50% LiQ, EX8, EX34, or EX164 (EBM for EBL 60; 35 nm)/LiQ(1 nm)/Al(160 nm). The I—V-B (at 1000 nits) test reports of these organic EL devices are summarized in Table 2 below. The half-life time is defined that the initial luminance of 1000 cd/m 2  has dropped to half.
