[0027] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the disclosure. It should be noted that the sizes and shapes of various patterns in the accompanying drawings do not reflect the true ratio, and are only intended to illustrate the content of the disclosure schematically.

Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the disclosure. Based on the embodiments in the disclosure, all other embodiments acquired by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work shall fall within the protection scope of the disclosure.

[0028] Unless otherwise defined, technical or scientific terms used herein should have the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs. The terms “first”, “second” and the like used in the description and claims of the disclosure do not denote any order, quantity or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components. “Comprise” or “include” and similar words mean that the elements or objects appearing before the word encompass the elements or objects recited after the word and their equivalents, but do not exclude other elements or objects. “Inside”, “outside”, “up”, “down” and the like are only used to indicate the relative positional relationship, and when the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0029] In recent years, with the emergence of phosphorescent OLEDs and thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) OLEDs, organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have solved the inherent low efficiency problem of fluorescent OLEDs, and the device performance has been rapidly improved. Electrons and holes are compounded to form excitons, of which 25% are singlet excitons and 75% are triplet excitons, the fluorescent OLEDs emit light through the singlet excitons, so their theoretical internal quantum efficiency IQE≤25%, while the theoretical IQE of the phosphorescent OLEDs and the TADF-OLEDs is as high as 100%. Therefore, how to improve the external quantum efficiency (EQE) of the fluorescent OLEDs has always been the focus of research.

[0030] One method for improving the EQE of the fluorescent OLEDs is to obtain singlet excitons of fluorescent emitters through a Forster energy transfer process. Generally speaking, a host material obtains singlet excitons and triplet excitons in an excited state and triggers the radiation transition, and the singlet excitons are transferred through the Forster energy transfer process, so an auxiliary material is required to convert the triplet excitons of the host material into the singlet excitons. Phosphorescent materials and TADF materials are widely used materials for exciton conversion, the phosphorescent materials can convert the singlet excitons into the triplet excitons through an intersystem crossing (ISC) process to radiate and emit phosphorescence, and the TADF materials can convert the triplet excitons into the singlet excitons through a reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) process for fluorescent radiation. In a typical device structure using the singlet excitons, the most common method is to mix the host material, a TADF sensitizer and a fluorescent emitter material, where the fluorescent emitter material may also be replaced by a phosphorescent emitter material, and this method can effectively improve the OLED efficiency. In this system, excitonic energy transfer is carried out through the Forster energy transfer and Dexter energy transfer processes simultaneously. However, the Dexter energy transfer process will lead to a large amount of energy loss, thus reducing the device efficiency.

[0031] An organic electroluminescent device provided by an embodiment of the disclosure, as shown in FIG. 1, includes: an anode 100 and a cathode 200 oppositely arranged, a light-emitting layer 300 between the anode 100 and the cathode 200, a first auxiliary function layer 400 between the light-emitting layer 300 and the anode 100, and a second auxiliary function layer 500 between the light-emitting layer 300 and the cathode 200.

[0032] The light-emitting layer 300 includes a first compound A, a second compound B, a third compound C and a fourth compound D. The first compound A and the second compound B can form a first excimer 310, and the second compound B and the third compound C can form a second excimer 320. As shown in FIG. 2, a Photoluminescence Spectroscopy (PL) peak of the first excimer 310 is smaller than a PL peak of the second excimer 320, an overlapping area (a region filled by slashes in FIG. 2) between a PL of the first excimer 310 and an absorption spectrum Abs of the third compound C is greater than a first set value, and an overlapping area (a region filled by slashes in FIG. 2) between a PL of the second excimer 320 and an absorption spectrum Abs of the fourth compound D is greater than a second set value.

[0033] In some embodiments, in the organic electroluminescent device provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, the light-emitting layer 300 includes the first compound A, the second compound B, the third compound C and the fourth compound D. The first compound A and the second compound B form the first excimer under optical excitation and electric excitation, the second compound B and the third compound C form the second excimer under optical excitation and electric excitation, the two excimeres enable triplet excitons to improve the reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) process and to be converted into singlet excitons to radiate and emit fluorescence, then the singlet excitons are effectively used for Forster energy transfer, and Dexter energy transfer is inhibited, such that energy loss is avoided, excitonic energy is effectively used, and the device efficiency is improved.

[0034] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2, since the PL peak of the first excimer 310 is smaller than the PL peak of the second excimer 320, and there is an overlapping area between the PL of the first excimer 310 and the absorption spectrum Abs of the third compound C, the excitonic energy of the first excimer 310 may be transferred to the third compound C, and then the third compound C and the second compound B are compounded to form the second excimer 320. Since there is an overlapping area between the emission spectrum of the second excimer 320 and the absorption spectrum of the fourth compound D, the excitonic energy of the second excimer 320 may be transferred to the fourth compound D. In the excitonic energy transfer process, the triplet excitons are converted through the reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) process into the singlet excitons for fluorescent radiation during the formation of the excimer, the singlet excitons are effectively used for Forster energy transfer, and Dexter energy transfer is inhibited, such that energy loss is avoided, the excitonic energy is effectively used, and the device efficiency is improved.

[0035] Optionally, in the organic electroluminescent device provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, the overlapping area between the PL of the first excimer 310 and the absorption spectrum Abs of the third compound C is greater than or equal to 5%. In some embodiments, the larger the overlapping area (the higher the overlap) between the PL of the first excimer 310 and the absorption spectrum Abs of the third compound C, the more conductive the excitonic energy is to be transferred from the first excimer 310 to the third compound C, so as to achieve efficient energy transfer.

[0036] Optionally, in the organic electroluminescent device provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, the overlapping area between the PL of the second excimer 320 and the absorption spectrum Abs of the fourth compound D is greater than or equal to 5%. In some embodiments, the larger the overlapping area (the higher the overlap) between the PL of the second excimer 320 and the absorption spectrum Abs of the fourth compound D, the more conductive the excitonic energy is to be transmitted from the second excimer 320 to the fourth compound D, so as to achieve efficient energy transfer.

[0037] Optionally, in the organic electroluminescent device provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, the first compound A, the second compound B and the third compound C may be considered as host materials, and the total amount may be considered as 100%. Adjusting the different proportion of the three compounds in the total amount will lead to different device efficiencies. The fourth compound D may be considered as a guest material, and different device efficiencies may be obtained by adjusting a doping ratio of the fourth compound D in the total mass of the host materials. In some embodiments, a mass ratio of a mass of the first compound A to a total mass of the first compound A, the second compound B and the third compound C is generally greater than or equal to 30 wt %; a mass ratio of a mass of the second compound B to the total mass of the first compound A, the second compound B and the third compound C is generally greater than or equal to 40 wt %; a mass ratio of a mass of the third compound C to the total mass of the first compound A, the second compound B and the third compound C is generally smaller than or equal to 30 wt %; and a mass ratio of a mass of the fourth compound D to the total mass of the first compound A, the second compound B and the third compound C is generally smaller than or equal to 2 wt %.

[0038] In some embodiments, in the host materials, since the second compound B may form the first excimer 310 with the first compound A, and may form the second excimer 320 with the third compound C, the proportion of the second compound B is generally the largest. Moreover, the first excimer 310 may excite the third compound C, and therefore, the proportion of the third compound C is generally the smallest. The specific relationship between the proportion of the three compounds and device parameters is detailed in the subsequent experimental parameters.

Meanwhile, a singlet energy level S1 of the second excimer 320 is generally greater than a singlet energy level S1 of the fourth compound D, which is beneficial to achieve that the singlet excitons S1 of the second excimer 320 effectively transfer energy to the singlet energy level S1 of the fourth compound D through Forster energy transfer (FET), Dexter energy transfer (DET) with large energy loss between the triplet energy levels T1 is inhibited, excitonic energy transfer can be effectively improved, and thus the efficiency of the organic electroluminescent device is enhanced.

[0040] Optionally, in the organic electroluminescent device provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, the third compound C may have a characteristic of delayed fluorescence, which enables the triplet excitons to be converted into the singlet excitons through the reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) process for fluorescence radiation, which is beneficial to inhibit the Dexter energy transfer (DET) with large energy loss between the triplet energy levels Tl, and achieve that the singlet excitons S1 of the second excimer 320 effectively transfer the energy to the singlet energy level S1 of the fourth compound D through the Forster energy transfer (FET).

[0041] Optionally, in the organic electroluminescent device provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, as shown in FIG. 4, a difference between a Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital (HOMO) value of the second compound B and a HOMO value of the first compound A is generally greater than 0.2 eV, and a difference between a Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital (LUMO) value of the second compound B and a LUMO value of the first compound A is generally greater than 0.2 eV. Specifically, [HOMO_B|−|HOMO_A|>0.2 eV, |LUMO_B|−|LUMO_A|>0.2 eV.

[0042] It is worth noting that the HOMO value refers to an absolute value of a HOMO energy level, and the LUMO value refers to an absolute value of a LUMO energy level.

[0043] Optionally, in the organic electroluminescent device provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, as shown in FIG. 4, a difference between a HOMO value of the first compound A and a HOMO value of the third compound C is generally greater than 0.1 eV, and a difference between a LUMO value of the first compound A and a LUMO value of the third compound C is generally greater than 0.1 eV.

[0066] It can be seen from Table 2 and FIG. 6 that, the device efficiency by using three compounds as the host materials in the light-emitting layer to form two excimeres in embodiments 1-6 provided by the disclosure can be improved compared with that in the comparative examples 1-2. From the comparison of embodiments 1-5, it can be seen that the proportion of the third compound C in the host materials should not be too small or too large, so as to avoid reducing the molecular spacing after the increase of the proportions of other compounds, which is not conductive to Forster energy transfer. Meanwhile, the proportion difference of the first compound A and the second compound B also should not be too large, so as to not reduce the molecular spacing by the compound with a large proportion, which is not conductive to Forster energy transfer. Moreover, from the comparison between embodiment 5 and embodiment 6, it can be seen that increasing the doping proportion of the fourth compound D within a certain range will improve the device efficiency.

FIG. 7 only illustrates one implementable structure of pixel light-emitting regions of R, G and B and a thin film transistor of one pixel, and the structure of the display panel is not limited to this. Since the principle of solving the above problem of the display panel is similar to the above organic electroluminescent device, the implementation of the display panel may refer to the implementation of the organic electroluminescent device, and the repetition will not be made.

[0068] Based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of the disclosure further provides a display apparatus, including the above display panel provided by the embodiment of the disclosure. The display apparatus may be any products or components with display functions such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a television, a monitor, a notebook computer, a digital photo frame and a navigator. Other essential components of the display apparatus should be understood by those skilled in the art, and will not be repeated herein, nor should it be used as a limitation of the disclosure. The implementation of the display apparatus may refer to the implementation of the above organic electroluminescent device, and the repetition will not be made.

[0069] The disclosure provides the organic electroluminescent device, the display panel and the display apparatus. The light-emitting layer includes the first compound, the second compound, the third compound and the fourth compound; the first compound and the second compound form the first excimer under optical excitation and electronic excitation, and the second compound and the third compound form the second excimer under optical excitation and electronic excitation; excitonic energy of the first excimer can be transferred to the third compound, and then the third compound and the second compound are compounded to form the second excimer; and excitonic energy of the second excimer can be transferred to the fourth compound. In the excitonic energy transfer process, the triplet excitons are converted into the singlet excitons through the reverse intersystem crossing process for fluorescence radiation when the excimer is formed by means of compounding; and the singlet excitons are effectively used for Forster energy transfer, and Dexter energy transfer is inhibited, such that energy loss is avoided, the excitonic energy is effectively used, and the device efficiency is improved.
