Organic light-emitting diode devices with improved operational stability

[0001] This is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 10/131,801, filed Apr. 24, 2002 now abandoned entitled “Organic Light-emitting Diode Devices With Improved Operational Stability” by Viktor V. Jarikov.

[0002] The present invention relates to organic light-emitting diode devices and more particularly to the design of the composition of the organic layers for improvements in operational stability.

[0003] Organic light-emitting diodes (OLED), also known as organic electroluminescent (EL) devices, are a class of electronic devices that emit light in response to an electrical current applied to the device. The structure of an OLED device generally includes an anode, an organic EL medium, and a cathode. The term, organic EL medium, herein refers to organic materials or layers of organic materials disposed between the anode and the cathode in the OLED device. The organic EL medium can include low molecular weight compounds, high molecular weight polymers, oligimers of low molecular weight compounds, or biomaterials, in the form of a thin film or a bulk solid. The medium can be amorphous or crystalline. Organic electroluminescent media of various structures have been described in the prior art. Dresner, in RCA Review, 30, 322 (1969), described a medium comprising a single layer of anthracene film. Tang et al., in Applied Physics Letters, 51, 913 (1987), Journal of Applied Physics, 65, 3610 (1989), and commonly assigned U.S. Pat. No. 4,769,292, reported an EL medium with a multi-layer structure of organic thin films, and demonstrated highly efficient OLED devices using such a medium. In some OLED device structures the multi-layer EL medium includes a hole-transport layer adjacent to the anode, an electron-transport layer adjacent to the cathode, and disposed in between these two layers, a luminescent layer. Furthermore, in some preferred device structures, the luminescent layer is constructed of a doped organic film comprising an organic material as the host and a small concentration of a fluorescent compound as the dopant. Improvements in EL efficiency, chromaticity, and stability have been obtained in these doped OLED devices by selecting an appropriate dopant-host composition. The dopant, being the dominant emissive center, is selected to produce the desirable EL colors. Examples of the doped luminescent layer reported by Tang et al. in commonly assigned U.S. Pat. No. 4,769,292 and by Chen et al. in commonly assigned U.S. Pat. No. 5,908,581 are: tris(8-quinolinol)aluminum (AlQ₃) host doped with coumarin dyes for green emitting OLEDs; and AlQ₃ doped with 4-dicyanomethylene-4H-pyrans (DCMs) for orange-red emitting OLEDs. Shi et al., in commonly assigned U.S. Pat. No. 5,593,788, disclosed that a long operational life was obtained in an OLED device by using a quinacridone compound as the dopant in an AlQ₃ host. Bryan et al., in commonly assigned U.S. Pat. No. 5,141,671, disclosed a luminescent layer containing perylene or a perylene derivative as a dopant in a blue emitting host. They showed that a blue emitting OLED device with an improved operational stability was obtained. In both disclosures, the incorporation of selected fluorescent dopants in the luminescent layer is found to improve substantially the overall OLED device performance parameters. Co-doping of luminescent layer with anthracene derivatives results in devices with better stability as shown in JP 99273861 and JP 284050. Doping the hole-transport layer with materials that impede hole-transport and co-doping hole-transport materials into electron-transporting AlQ₃ leads to the improved device lifetimes, Popovic et al. Thin Solid Films 2000, 363, 6; SPIE 1998, 3476, 68.

[0004] The most common formulation of the doped luminescent layer includes only a single dopant in a host matrix. However, in a few instances, incorporation of more than one dopant in the luminescent layer was found to be beneficial in improving stability. Using a luminescent layer containing rubrene, a yellow emitting dopant, and DCJ, 4-(dicyanomethylene)-2-methyl-6-[2-(4-julolidyl)ethenyl]-4H-pyran, a red emitting dopant, in an AlQ₃ host it is possible to produce a red emitting OLED device with improved operational stability, Hamada et al. in Applied Phys. Lett. 75, 1682 (1999); EP1162674. Here rubrene functions as a co-dopant in mediating energy transfer from the AlQ₃ host to the DCJ emitter. Generally, in dual dopant systems, it has been noted that the operational stability tends to increase compared to that of the single dopant systems.

[0005] Although EL efficiency, color, and stability have been improved significantly using doped luminescent layers of various compositions, the problem of low operational stability persists. Insufficient stability presents the greatest obstacle for many desirable practical applications.

[0006] It is an object of the present invention to provide OLED devices with improved operational stability.

[0007] It is another object of the present invention to provide OLED devices with improved luminance efficiency.

[0008] It is another object of the present invention to provide a color OLED device with improved color chromaticity.

[0009] It is a further object of the present invention to provide specifically OLED devices with improved operational stability, luminance efficiency, and chromaticity.

[0010] These objects are achieved in an organic light-emitting device comprising a substrate, an anode and a cathode disposed over the substrate, and a luminescent layer disposed between the anode and the cathode wherein the luminescent layer includes a host and at least one dopant, the host of the luminescent layer is selected to include a solid organic material comprising a mixture of at least two components, one of which is capable of forming both monomer state and an aggregate state.

[0011] These objects are further achieved in an organic light-emitting device, comprising:

• • [0012] a) a substrate;
  • [0013] b) an anode and a cathode disposed over the substrate;
  • [0014] c) a luminescent layer disposed between the anode and the cathode wherein the luminescent layer includes a host and at least one dopant;
  • [0015] d) the host of the luminescent layer being selected to include a solid organic material comprising a mixture of at least two components wherein:
    • [0016] i) the first component of the mixture is an organic compound that is capable of transporting either electrons or holes or both and is capable of forming both monomer state and an aggregate state and further is capable of forming the aggregate state either in the ground electronic state or in the excited electronic state that results in a different absorption or emission spectrum or both relative to the absorption or emission spectrum or both of the monomer state, respectively, or the first component of the mixture is capable of forming the aggregate state whose presence results in a quantum yield of luminescence of the monomer state being different relative to the quantum yield of luminescence of the monomer state in the absence of the aggregate state, and
    • [0017] ii) the second component of the mixture is an organic compound that upon mixing with the first host component is capable of forming a continuous and substantially pin-hole-free layer; and
  • [0018] e) the dopant of the luminescent layer being selected to produce light from the light-emitting device.

[0019] Another advantage of the present invention is that it provides OLED devices with high operational stability, lower drive voltage, excellent luminance efficiency and color chromaticity, and with luminance efficiency and color chromaticity essentially independent of the current density.

[0020] Another advantage of the present invention is that it provides OLED devices that are suitable for high-brightness and long-lifetime lighting and display applications.

[0037] FIG. 1 illustrates the structure of an OLED device of the simplest construction practiced in the present invention. In this structure, OLED device 100 includes an anode 120, an EL medium 130, and a cathode 140, disposed upon a substrate 110. In operation, an electrical current is passed through the OLED by connecting an external current or voltage source with electrical conductors 10 to the anode and the cathode, causing light to be emitted from the EL medium. The light can exit through either the anode or the cathode or both as desired and depending on their optical transparencies. The EL medium includes a single layer or a multi-layer of organic materials.

[0038] FIG. 2 illustrates the structure of another OLED device of the present invention. In this structure, OLED device 200 includes a substrate 210 and an EL medium 230, disposed between anode 220 and cathode 240. EL medium 230 includes a hole-transport layer 231 adjacent to the anode, an electron-transport layer 233 adjacent to the cathode, and a luminescent layer 232 disposed between the hole-transport layer and the electron-transport layer. In operation, an electrical current is passed through the OLED device by connecting an external current or voltage source with electrical conductors 10 to the anode and the cathode. This electrical current, passing through the EL medium, causes light to be emitted primarily from the luminescent layer 232. Hole-transport layer 231 carries the holes, that is, positive electronic charge carriers, from the anode to the luminescent layer. Electron-transport layer 233 carries the electrons, that is, negative electronic charge carriers, from the cathode to the luminescent layer 232. The recombination of holes and electrons produces light emission, that is, electroluminescence, from the luminescent layer 232.

[0039] FIG. 3 illustrates yet another structure of an OLED device of the present invention. In this structure, OLED device 300 includes a substrate 310 and an EL medium 330 disposed between anode 320 and cathode 340. EL medium 330 includes a hole-injection layer 331, a hole-transport layer 332, a luminescent layer 333, an electron-transport layer 334, and an electron-injection layer 335. Similarly to OLED device 200 of FIG. 2, the recombination of electrons and holes produces emission primarily from the luminescent layer 333. The provision of the hole-injection layer 331 and the electron-injection layer 335 serves to reduce the barriers for carrier injection from the respective electrodes. Consequently, the drive voltage required for the OLED device can be reduced.

[0040] FIG. 4 shows representative absolute photoluminescence (PL) spectra of an OLED device where the light-emitting layer is composed of naphtho[2,3-a]pyrene and AlQ₃. It can be seen that the higher the volume % of naphtho[2,3-a]pyrene in the layer the more emission spectrum is shifted to the red. This signals formation of the aggregate state the concentration of which and the average size of which increases with increasing volume % of naphtho[2,3a]pyrene. The excitation wavelength is 430 nm and thus both AlQ₃ and naphtho[2,3-a]pyrene are excited resulting in an emission spectrum composed of the photoluminescence of both AlQ₃ and naphtho[2,3-a]pyrene, the latter being in the monomer state or the aggregate state or both.

[0041] FIG. 5 shows representative absolute photoluminescence (PL) spectra of the OLED device of FIG. 4 obtained with the excitation wavelength of 470 nm. Here primarily naphtho[2,3-a]pyrene is excited resulting in an emission spectrum composed almost exclusively of the photoluminescence of naphtho[2,3a]pyrene in its monomer state or aggregate state or both.

[0042] FIG. 6 shows the corresponding absolute electroluminescence (EL) spectra of the OLED device of FIG. 4 and FIG. 5. It can be seen that the EL spectra resemble the PL spectra of FIG. 4 closely. This signals that the singlet excites states of both AlQ₃ and naphtho[2,3-a]pyrene are produced in an operating device. Thus, the EL spectrum is composed of the luminescence of both AlQ₃ and naphtho[2,3-a]pyrene, the latter being in its monomer state or aggregate state or both depending on the volume % of naphtho[2,3-a]pyrene in the luminescent layer.

[0043] FIG. 7 shows the absolute EL spectra of an OLED device where the light-emitting layer is composed of naphtho[2,3-a]pyrene and TBADN. It can be seen that the EL spectra behave similarly to those of FIG. 6. This signals that formation of an aggregate state of naphtho[2,3-a]pyrene occurs in a nonpolar TBADN environment as well as in polar AlQ₃ environment. With increasing concentration of naphtho[2,3-a]pyrene the aggregate contribution to the overall EL drastically increases. Thus, the EL spectrum is composed primarily of the emission spectrum of naphtho[2,3-a]pyrene in its monomer state in the 2% case, while in the 20% case the emission is almost solely that of naphtho[2,3-a]pyrene in its aggregate state.

[0044] FIG. 8 shows the absolute EL spectra of an OLED device where the light-emitting layer is composed of dibenzo[b,k]perylene and AlQ₃. It can be seen that the EL spectra signal major involvement of an aggregate state of dibenzo[b,k]perylene in EL production. Thus, the EL spectrum is composed primarily of the emission spectrum of dibenzo[b,k]perylene in its aggregate state while a small portion of EL comes from the emission of AlQ₃.

[0045] FIG. 9 shows the absolute EL spectra of an OLED device where the light-emitting layer is composed of dibenzo[b,k]perylene and TBADN. The EL spectra signal that formation of an aggregate state of dibenzo[b,k]perylene occurs in a nonpolar TBADN environment as well as in polar AlQ₃ environment. With increasing concentration of dibenzo[b,k]perylene the aggregate contribution to the overall EL drastically increases. Thus, the EL spectrum is composed primarily of the emission spectrum of dibenzo[b,k]perylene in its monomer state in the 0.5% case, while in the 8% case the emission is almost solely that of dibenzo[b,k]perylene in its aggregate state.

[0046] FIG. 10 shows the absolute EL spectra of an OLED device where the light-emitting layer is composed of benzo[a]pyrene and TBADN. The EL spectra signal that formation of an aggregate state of benzo[a]pyrene occurs. The EL specra are composed of the emission spectrum of benzo[a]pyrene in its aggregate state and the emission spectrum of TBADN.

[0047] FIG. 11 shows the absolute EL spectra of an OLED device where the light-emitting layer is composed of benzo[ghi]perylene and TBADN. The EL spectra signal that formation of an aggregate state of benzo[ghi]perylene occurs. With increasing concentration of benzo[ghi]perylene the aggregate contribution to the overall EL increases. The EL spectra are composed primarily of the emission spectrum of benzo[ghi]perylene in its aggregate state with some contribution of the monomer state emission and possibly little emission of TBADN.

[0048] FIG. 12 shows the absolute EL spectra of an OLED device where the light-emitting layer is composed of coronene and TBADN. The EL spectra signal that formation of an aggregate state of coronene occurs. With increasing concentration of coronene the aggregate contribution to the overall EL increases. The EL spectra are composed primarily of the emission spectrum of coronene in its aggregate state with some contribution of the emission of TBADN.

[0049] FIG. 13 shows the absolute EL spectra of an OLED device where the light-emitting layer is composed of decacyclene and AlQ₃. The EL spectra signal that formation of an aggregate state of decacyclene occurs. With increasing concentration of decacyclene the aggregate contribution to the overall EL increases. The EL spectra are composed primarily of the emission spectrum of decacyclene in its aggregate state with some contribution of the emission of AlQ₃.

[0050] FIG. 14 shows the absolute EL spectra of an OLED device where the light-emitting layer is composed of dibenzo[b,def]chrysene and TBADN. The EL spectra signal that formation of an aggregate state of dibenzo[b,def]chrysene occurs. With increasing concentration of dibenzo[b,def]chrysene the aggregate contribution to the overall EL drastically increases. The EL spectra are composed of the emission spectrum of dibenzo[b,def]chrysene in its monomer state and the emission of its aggregate state.

[0051] FIG. 15 shows the absolute EL spectra of an OLED device where the light-emitting layer is composed of peropyrene (dibenzo[cd,lm]perylene) and TBADN. The EL spectra signal that formation of an aggregate state of peropyrene occurs. With increasing concentration of peropyrene the aggregate contribution to the overall EL drastically increases. The EL spectra are composed primarily of the emission spectrum of peropyrene in its aggregate state.

[0052] FIG. 16 shows the absolute EL spectra of an OLED device where the light-emitting layer is composed of perylene and TBADN. The EL spectra signal that formation of an aggregate state of perylene occurs. With increasing concentration of perylene the aggregate contribution to the overall EL drastically increases. The EL spectra are composed primarily of the emission spectrum of perylene in its aggregate state.

[0053] According to the present invention, the luminescent layer (either layer 232 of FIG. 2 or layer 333 of FIG. 3) is primarily responsible for the electroluminescence emitted from the OLED device. One of the most commonly used formulations for this luminescent layer is an organic thin film including a host and one or more dopants. The host serves as the solid medium or matrix for the transport and recombination of charge carriers injected from the anode and the cathode. The dopant, usually homogeneously distributed in the host in small quantity, provides the emission centers where light is generated. Following the teaching of the prior art, the present invention uses a luminescent layer including a host and a dopant, but it distinguishes over the prior art that the host of the present invention is a mixture having at least two components, each component having specific electronic properties. The selection of these host components and compatible dopant materials is in accordance with the following criteria:

[0054] 1. The host is a solid organic thin film comprising a mixture of at least two components;

[0055] 2. The first component of the mixture is an organic compound that is capable of transporting either electrons or holes or both;

[0056] 3. The first component of the mixture is capable of forming both monomer state and an aggregate state;

[0057] 4. The first component of the mixture is capable of forming the aggregate state either in the ground electronic state or in the excited electronic state;

[0058] 5. The first component of the mixture is capable of forming the aggregate state that results in a different absorption or emission spectrum or both relative to the absorption or emission spectrum or both of the monomer state, respectively (the aggregate state can emit or absorb or both to the red or to the blue of the emission or absorption spectrum or both of the monomer state, respectively);

[0059] 6. The first component of the mixture is capable of forming the aggregate state whose presence results in a quantum yield of luminescence of the monomer state being different relative to the quantum yield of luminescence of the monomer state in the absence of the aggregate states (the quantum yield of luminescence for the monomer state can be either enhanced or reduced);

[0060] 7. The second component of the mixture is an organic compound that upon mixing with the first host component is capable of forming a continuous and substantially pin-hole-free layer;

[0061] 8. The dopant is an organic luminescent compound capable of accepting the energy released from the recombination of electrons and holes in either the first or second host components, and emitting the energy as light.

[0062] Following the selection criteria of this invention, OLED devices have been constructed having excellent operational stability. Importantly, for red devices the luminance efficiency measured in candelas per ampere significantly increases, compared to the system without the first component, and remains constant over a large range of brightness or current densities. In addition, the color chromaticity is greatly improved and the drive voltage is reduced. This is a distinct advantage over the prior art, where such operational stability improvements over comparative examples combined with such long lifetimes have never been demonstrated, the luminance efficiency often decreases, or otherwise varies, with increasing brightness or current density, color chromaticity is often compromised, and drive voltage often increases. Another important advantage is that the chromaticity also remains essentially constant, independent of the brightness or current density. Thus, the problem of color shift with brightness in an OLED device is also eliminated.

[0063] Preferred materials for the first host component of the luminescent layer of this invention include a class of compounds which, for the purpose of this invention, will be referred to as benzenoid compounds and N—, O—, Si—, B—, P—, and S-atom containing heterocyclic compounds. The benzenoid compounds comprise polycyclic hydrocarbons (PAH), combinations of two or more PAH which are chemically linked, and combinations of two or more PAH which are not chemically linked. Non-benzenoid aromatic hydrocarbons such as azulene and its derivatives are included in the list of preferred materials for the first host component also. Essentially any more or less flat and rigid molecule, or one having a flat and rigid part, has a propensity to undergo aggregation and form an aggregate state and as such is included in the list of preferred materials for the first host component of the luminescent layer of this invention. Possible exceptions include compounds that undergo known unfavorable chemical reactions either thermally, photochemically, or upon electrochemical oxidation or reduction in an OLED device. For example, 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran readily undergoes Diels-Alder reactions as well as rearrangement and condensation reactions; truxenes, fluorenes, and other compounds having Aryl-CH₂-Aryl′ or Aryl-CH(Aryl″)-Aryl′ bridges have labile hydrogen atoms; esters undergo dissociation and decarboxylation reactions, alcohols and acids undergo deprotonation, etc. Another example of an exception that depends on the nature of the use of the material in an OLED device can include certain heterocyclic molecules such as imidazoles, triazoles, oxadiazoles, pyridines, phenanthrolines, and others which are known to undergo certain chemical transformations in an OLED device upon their electrochemical oxidation (hole injection) that leads to short operational lifetimes. Another example of possible exception includes molecules containing chloro-, bromo-, or iodo-substituents which upon electrochemical oxidation or reduction undergo possible cleavage or dissociation reactions that lead to short operational stabilities of an OLED device. Benzenoid and heterocyclic compounds absorbing light in the UV, near UV, and visible region up to 450 nm are preferred materials for the first host component of a blue-emitting OLED device and blue layer of a white-emitting OLED device. Benzenoid and heterocyclic compounds absorbing light in the UV, near UV, and visible region up to 490 nm are preferred materials for the first host component of a blue-green-emitting OLED device and blue-green layer of a white-emitting OLED device. Benzenoid and heterocyclic compounds absorbing light in the UV, near UV, and visible region up to 520 nm are preferred materials for the first host component of a green-emitting OLED device and green layer of a white-emitting OLED device. Benzenoid and heterocyclic compounds absorbing light in the UV, near UV, and visible region up to 580 nm are preferred materials for the first host component of a yellow-orange-emitting OLED device and yellow-orange layer of a white-emitting OLED device. Benzenoid and heterocyclic compounds absorbing light in the UV, near UV, and visible region up to 630 nm are preferred materials for the first host component of a red-emitting OLED device and red layer of a white-emitting OLED device.

[1475] (ad) any of the compounds 2 through 1315.

[1476] One particular selection criterion for the first host component is that the organic compound should have a molecular structure that enables it to form both monomer state and aggregate state. The aggregate state can be formed by at least two molecules of the same compound, such as the first host component, or by at least two molecules of two different compounds, such as the first and second host components or first component and the luminescent dopant. All these aggregate states are useful in the present invention. However, the following discussion will be focused on the first case. The monomer state is defined as a state where molecules of the first host component do not interact with each other in either ground or excited electronic state and thus behave as single molecules in a solid solution of the second component. Thus, in particular their absorption and emission processes involve just one molecule. The absence of the interaction can evolve e.g. due to the intrinsic lack of forces that enable the interaction, distances between the molecules being too large, improper geometry, steric hindrance, and other reasons. The aggregate state is defined as a state formed by an interaction, for example such as commonly known in the art van der Waals forces or by commonly known in the art charge-transfer interactions, of at least two molecules. It has physical and chemical properties different from those of the monomer state. In particular, two or more molecules can participate in cooperative absorption or emission or both, that is absorption or emission or both can only be understood as arising from molecular complexes or molecular aggregates. When two or more molecules act cooperatively to absorb a photon, it is said that the absorption aggregate exists in the ground electronic state. When two or more molecules act cooperatively to emit a photon, it is said that the exciplex, or a molecular complex or molecular aggregate, exists in the excited electronic state. The absorption aggregate need not form an exciplex upon excitation and the exciplex need not emit to produce a ground state aggregate. Thus, the aggregate state can exist in either ground electronic state or excited electronic state or both. An aggregate state can be only weakly associated in the ground electronic state (the energy of van der Waals interactions ˜1–3 kcal/mol) but more strongly associated in its excited electronic state (the energy of van der Waals interactions ˜3–10 kcal/mol). The simplest aggregate state in the ground electronic state is often called a dimer, that is an aggregate state formed by two molecules in their ground electronic states. The aggregate state in the excited electronic state is called an excimer and in the simplest case is formed by two molecules one of which prior to formation of the exciplex was in the ground electronic state and the other was in the excited electronic state. One of the most commonly observed features of aggregate states is that either their absorption spectrum or their emission spectrum or both are shifted compared to the absorption spectrum or emission spectrum or both, respectively, of the monomer state. The shift can occur to the red or to the blue. On the other hand, the absorption or emission spectra or both of aggregate states can contain new features such as peaks and shoulders positioned to either red or blue compared to the absorption or emission spectrum or both of the monomer state, respectively. Another most commonly observed characteristic of aggregate states is that the intensity and sometimes the position (wavelength) of the new or shifted absorption or emission or both depend on concentration of molecules that form the aggregate state. With increasing concentration, the intensity of shifted absorption or emission features or both can increase due to the increasing concentration of the aggregate states, while the position, or wavelength, can shift too due to the increase in the size (number of molecules involved in the formation) of the aggregate states. Another common characteristic of aggregate states which is observed in the absence of readily detectable changes in the monomer absorption or emission spectrum or both is the change in the intensity (quantum yield of luminescence) of the monomer emission. For reference, these definitions can be found in N.J. Turro, Modem Molecular Photochemistry, University Science Books, Sausalito, Calif. 1991.

[1477] For some organic compounds, their molecular structure is such that their aggregates in excited electronic states are emissive, and thus can be readily observed by measuring fluorescence emission spectra as a function of concentration, for example FIGS. 4–16; Table 1. Compounds that form emissive and highly emissive aggregate states are potentially the most useful as first host components. However, there are many organic compounds that form aggregate states which are not emissive or only weakly emissive. Formation of completely or essentially non-emissive aggregate states (that is those with the quantum yield of luminescence of zero or near zero) can lead to a decrease in the efficiency of electroluminescence and photoluminescence due to insufficient efficiency of electronic excitation energy transfer to the luminescent dopant. Nevertheless, for certain types of compounds, especially the ones listed above, the quantum yield of luminescence of an aggregate state is most often found to be non-zero. This can be sufficient to sustain a sufficient rate of electronic excitation energy to the luminescent dopant, if the latter acts as a sufficiently strong acceptor in the well known in the art Foerster energy transfer process. Therefore, such compounds would not compromise the electroluminescence efficiency and could also be useful as first host components. Their use would result not only in improved operational lifetimes but also in excellent EL efficiencies. On the other hand, if the acceptor (luminescent dopant) of the excitation energy transfer is strong and its concentration is sufficiently high so that the quantum efficiency of the energy transfer is ˜100% then even if the quantum yield of luminescence of the donor decreases by 10–15 times (given that everything else remains equal) the quantum efficiency of the energy transfer, and thus of the acceptor luminescence, decreases only by ˜10%.

[1478] Another important criteria for selection of compounds as first host components is that the aggregate states of this compound should have spectroscopic characteristics, namely absorption and emission spectra, excited state lifetime, quantum yield of luminescence, and oscillator strength, such that efficient transfer of electronic excitation energy to the luminescent dopant of appropriate color is insured.

[1479] Many of the benzenoid compounds found useful as the first host component in the present invention have a flat rigid geometry, which encourages formation of aggregate states. Many representative benzenoids, such as pyrene, perylene, coronene, naphthacene, anthracene, pentacene, anthanthrene, picene, triphenylene, chrysene, fluoranthene, benzo[ghi]perylene, ovalene, etc. and their mono- and poly-substituted benzo, naphtho, anthra, phenanthro, triphenyleno, and other derivatives have been shown in the common literature to possess a pronounced propensity for aggregate state formation. The aggregate states of these compounds are extensively characterized in common literature. If the PAH compound is emissive in its monomer state, it is most often found to be emissive in its aggregate state also, especially in the solid solutions and in the absence of oxygen (exactly as found in an OLED device). Other organic compounds meeting such a planar geometry criteria are useful as well.

[1480] Although aggregate states including two molecules are most often found and described in the literature, often it is found that compounds such as disclosed in the present invention are capable of forming aggregate states including not only two molecules, but of three, four, five, ten, hundred, thousand and more molecules as the volume % increases. With sufficiently high number of molecules of the first host component participating in the formation of an aggregate state, a domain could be formed where certain degree of order or degree of crystallinity could be found. The size of these domains could be in the range of nanometers (nanocrystalline domain) or even micrometers (microcrystalline domain).

[1481] Materials for the second host component of the luminescent layer of the present invention include organic compounds that are capable of forming a continuous and substantially pin-hole-free thin film upon mixing with the first host component. They can be polar, such as (i) the common host for green, yellow, orange, and red OLEDs AlQ₃ and other oxinoid and oxinoid-like materials and metal complexes, and (ii) common hosts of heterocyclic family for blue, blue-green, green, yellow, orange, and red OLEDs such as those based on oxadiazole, imidazole, pyridine, phenanthroline, triazine, triazole, quinoline and other moieties. They also can be nonpolar, such as (i) the common hosts of anthracene family for blue, blue-green, green, yellow, orange, and red OLEDs, such as 2-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-9,10-bis(2-naphthalenyl)anthracene (TBADN), 9,10-Bis[4-(2,2-diphenylethenyl)phenyl]anthracene, and 10,10′-Diphenyl-9,9′-bianthracene; (ii) common hosts of rubrene family for yellow, orange, and red OLEDs, such as rubrene and 5,6,11,12-tetrakis(2-naphthyl)tetracene; and (iii) common hosts of triarylamine family for blue, blue-green, green, yellow, orange, and red OLEDs such as NPB, TNB, and TPD. The second host component can have a bandgap that is less than, more than, or equal to that of the first host component in either its monomer state or aggregate state. The bandgap (or energy gap) is defined as the energy needed to bring an electron from the highest occupied molecular orbital to the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital of the molecule. When the bandgap of the first host component in its monomer state is approximately equal to that of the second host component and the dopant is absent, the photoluminescence (PL) and electroluminescence (EL) spectra are composed of the emission spectra of both species. This can be seen in FIG. 4 and FIG. 6, the curves corresponding to 2% and 4% cases. This can be further seen in FIGS. 8, 10, 11, and 12. When the bandgap of the first host component in its monomer state is approximately equal to that of the first host component in its aggregate state and to that of the second host component (while the dopant is absent), the PL and EL spectra are composed of the emission spectra of all three species. This can be seen for example in FIG. 4 and FIG. 6, the curves corresponding to 6% and 10% cases. When the bandgap of the first host component in its aggregate state is smaller than that of the second host component and the dopant is absent, the PL and EL spectra are dominated by the emission spectrum of the first host component in its aggregate state. This can be seen in FIG. 4 and FIG. 6, the curves corresponding to 15% case. Note that in all these cases the composition of the PL and EL spectra is also a subject to concentration, particularly of the aggregates of the first host component, and to quantum yield of luminescence and lifetime of the singlet excited states of all the species involved.

[1482] The necessary condition is that the bandgap of the luminescent dopant be smaller than the bandgap of the second host component, the bandgap of first host component in its monomer state, and the bandgap of the first host component in its aggregate state. This ensures that electronic excitation energy transfer from the first and second host components, resulting from the recombination of electrons and holes in the first and second host components, to the light-producing dopants is favorable.

[1483] Any one of the following three—second host component, the first host component in its monomer state, and the first host component in its aggregate state—can have the lowest bandgap between the three. The lowest bandgap material can also serve as a hole trap, an electron trap, or both but so can the species that does not necessarily have the lowest bandgap. Trapping injected and transported carriers directly on the molecules of a single host component can be beneficial as it promotes electron-hole recombination in this host component, shortcutting the need for carrier recombination in the other host component which can have implications for the size, density distribution, and geometry of the recombination zone as well as operational stability of OLED devices. Under this condition, the other host component is needed for carrier transport only and not for charge carrier recombination.

[1484] The first preferred class of materials for the second host component is the oxinoid compounds. Exemplary of contemplated oxinoid compounds are those satisfying the following structural formula:

[1485]
wherein:

[1486] Me represents a metal;

[1487] n is an integer of from 1 to 3; and

[1488] Z independently in each occurrence represents the atoms completing a nucleus having at least two fused aromatic rings.

[1489] From the foregoing it is apparent that the metal can be monovalent, divalent, or trivalent metal. The metal can, for example, be an alkali metal, such as lithium, sodium, rubidium, cesium, or potassium; an alkaline earth metal, such as magnesium, strontium, barium, or calcium; or an earth metal, such as boron or aluminum, gallium, and indium. Generally any monovalent, divalent, or trivalent metal known to be a useful chelating metal can be employed.

[1490] Z completes a heterocyclic nucleus containing at least two fused aromatic rings, at least one of which is an azole or azine ring. Additional rings, including both aliphatic and aromatic rings, can be fused with the two required rings, if required. To avoid adding molecular bulk without improving on function the number of ring atoms is preferably maintained at 18 or less.

[1635]

[1636] The composition of the luminescent layer of this invention is such that either the first host component or the second host component can constitute the largest volume fraction of the luminescent layer. The dopant usually constitutes the smallest volume fraction. The range for the first host component is from 1 to 99 volume % of the luminescent layer. The preferred range for the first host component is from 5 to 95% by volume. The range for the second host component is from 1 to 99 volume % of the luminescent layer. The preferred range for the second host component is from 5 to 95% by volume. The concentration range for the dopant is from 0.1% to 10% by volume. The preferred concentration range for the dopant is from 0.5% to 5% by volume. The thickness of the luminescent layer useful in this invention is between 50 Angstroms and 5000 Angstroms. A thickness in this range is sufficiently large to enable recombination of charge carriers and, therefore, electroluminescence to take place exclusively in this layer. A preferred range is between 100 Angstroms and 1000 Angstroms, where the overall OLED device performance parameters, including drive voltage, are optimal.

[1637] A useful method for forming the luminescent layer of the present invention is by vapor deposition in a vacuum chamber. This method is particularly useful for fabricating OLED devices, where the layer structure, including the organic layers, can be sequentially deposited on a substrate without significant interference among the layers. The thickness of each individual layer and its composition can be precisely controlled in the deposition process. To produce the desired composition of the luminescent layer, the rate of deposition for each component is independently controlled using a deposition rate monitor.

[1638] Another useful method for forming the luminescent layer of the present invention is by spin-coating or by ink-jet printing. This method is particularly useful for fabricating lower-cost OLED devices. Composition of the luminescent layer is determined by the concentration of each component in the solutions being coated.

[1639] Returning to FIG. 2, hole-transport layer 231 and electron-transport layer 233 provide the functions of transporting holes and electrons, respectively, to the luminescent layer 232. The use of these layers and their material compositions in OLED devices have been disclosed by Tang et al. in commonly assigned U.S. Pat. No. 4,769,292, included herein by reference. A typical hole-transport layer includes the hole-transporting compounds such as N,N′-bis(1-naphthyl)-N,N′-diphenylbenzidine (NPB), N,N′-bis(1-naphthyl)-N,N′-bis(2-naphthyl)benzidine (TNB), and N,N′-bis(3-tolyl)-N,N′-diphenylbenzidine (TPD).

[1640] Returning to FIG. 3, hole-injection layer 331 and electron-injection layer 335 provide the functions of improving the hole-injection from the anode and electron-injection from the cathode 340, respectively. The use of a hole-injection layer in OLED devices has been disclosed by Van Slyke et al. in commonly assigned U.S. Pat. No. 4,720,432, included herein by reference. The use of an electron-injection layer has been disclosed by Hung et al. in commonly assigned U.S. Pat. No. 5,776,622, also included herein by reference.

[1641] OLED devices were prepared as follows. A glass substrate coated with about 850 Å transparent indium-tin-oxide (ITO) conductive layer was cleaned and dried using a commercial glass scrubber tool. The ITO surface was subsequently treated with an oxidative plasma to condition the surface as an anode. Over the ITO was deposited a 10 Å thick hole-injecting layer of fluorocarbon (CFx) by plasma-assisted deposition of CHF₃. The following layers were deposited in the following sequence by sublimation from heated crucible boats in a conventional vacuum deposition chamber under a vacuum of approximately 10⁻⁶ Torr: (1) a hole-transport layer, 750 Å thick, including NPB, (2) a luminescent layer, 350 Å thick, including the first and second host components in certain ratio (indicated in Table 1) and not containing luminescent dopants, (3) an electron-transport layer, 350 Å thick, including AlQ₃, and (4) a cathode, approximately 2200 Å thick, including an alloy of magnesium and silver with a Mg:Ag volume ratio of about 10:1. Following that the devices were encapsulated in nitrogen atmosphere along with calcium sulfate as a desiccant.

[1642] The EL characteristics of these devices were evaluated using a constant current source and a photometer. The drive voltage, EL efficiency in cd/A and W/A, CIE coordinates, peak wavelength, λ_max, full spectral width at half-maximum, FWHM, and loss or gain in EL efficiency as current density, J, increases from 0.5 to 100 mA/cm², Δ cd/A vs J, at current densities ranging from relatively low, 0.5 mA/cm², to relatively high, 100 mA/cm², were measured. The EL efficiency in W/A, CIE coordinates, λ_max, FWHM, and description of the EL color and spectrum at 20 mA/cm² are given in Table 1.

[1643] As can be seen from Table 1 it is common for materials luminescent in their monomer state to form the aggregate states which are also luminescent in both polar and non-polar environments and electroluminescence for the aggregate states of these materials is readily observed. It further can be seen that the range of aggregate electroluminescence spans the whole visible spectrum and can be tuned by proper choice of materials.

[1644] FIGS. 4 through 16 illustrate photoluminescence and electroluminescence spectra for many of the Examples 1–19.

[1646] OLED device 20 was constructed similar to the devices of Examples 1–19, except that the luminescent layer (2) was 450 Å thick, including AlQ₃ as the sole material. The EL characteristics of device 20 are shown in Table 2.

[1647] Table 2 also contains values of lifetimes, which were measured at average current density of 40 mA/cm² (0.5 ms forward bias at 80 mA/cm² alternating with the 0.5 ms of reverse bias of −14V) and at room temperature and at average current density of 20 mA/cm² (0.5 ms forward bias at 40 mA/cm² alternating with the 0.5 ms of reverse bias of −14V) and at 70° C., and the effects of addition of the 1^st host component on the operational stability of the OLED devices. The devices were permitted to run for 250–2000 hours, after which time the aging was stopped and if T_50% was not reached a plot of luminance versus time was fitted with stretched exponential function of the following form:
L_t=L₀×exp(A×t^B),
where L_t is luminance at time t, L₀ is initial luminance, A and B are empirical fit parameters, often found to be on the ragen of −0.011 and 0.59, respectively. Half-lifetime, T_50%, of the device was found by calculating time at which L_t/L₀=0.5.

[1648] OLED devices 21–25 similar to the device of Comparative Example 20 were constructed, except that in the luminescent layer (2) naphtho[2,3-a]pyrene was used as the material for the first host component and AlQ₃ as the material for the second host component. The relative amounts of naphtho[2,3-a]pyrene and AlQ₃ on a volume basis were in the ratio 1:99, 2:98, 4:96, 10:90, and 15:85 for Examples 21, 22, 23, 24, and 25, respectively. The EL characteristics of the devices 21–25 are shown in Table 2. As can be seen from Table 2, devices 21–25 demonstrate as volume % of naphtho[2,3-a]pyrene increases:1) slight decrease in luminance efficiency followed by an increase; 2) shift of the emission color from green to green-yellow; 3) change in the Δ cd/A vs J behavior from gain to larger loss followed by a smaller loss; 4) from 300% to 1,000% improvement in lifetime relative to the Comparative Device 20.

[1649] An OLED device 26 similar to that of Comparative Example 20 was constructed, except that the sole material of the luminescent layer was TBADN. The EL characteristics of this device are shown in Table 2.

[1650] OLED devices 27–29 similar to the device of Comparative Example 26 were constructed, except that in the luminescent layer (2) naphtho[2,3-a]pyrene was used as the material for the first host component and TBADN as the material for the second host component. The relative amounts of naphtho[2,3-a]pyrene and TBADN on a volume basis were in the ratio 2:98, 6:94, and 20:80 for Examples 27, 28, and 29, respectively. The EL characteristics of the devices 27–29 are shown in Table 2. As can be seen, devices 27–29 demonstrate as volume % of naphtho[2,3-a]pyrene increases:1) about 15% decrease in the drive voltage; 2) no change in luminance efficiency; 3) shift in color of emission from blue-green to yellow; 4) change in the Δ cd/A vs J behavior from loss first to larger loss and then to smaller loss; 5) from 550% to 1,700% improvement in lifetime relative to the Comparative Device 26.

[1651] An OLED device 30 such as that of Comparative Example 20 was constructed. The EL characteristics of this device are shown in Table 2.

[1652] OLED devices 31–33 similar to the device of Comparative Example 30 were constructed, except that in the luminescent layer (2) naphthacene, was used as the material for the first host component and AlQ₃ as the material for the second host component. The relative amounts of naphthacene and AlQ₃ on a volume basis were in the ratio 1:99, 2:98, and 4:96 for Examples 31, 32 and 33, respectively. The EL characteristics of the devices 31–33 are shown in Table 2. As can be seen, devices 131–33 demonstrate as volume % of naphthacene increases: 1) no significant change in the drive voltage or luminance efficiency; 2) change in the Δ cd/A vs J behavior from gain to loss; 3) from 40% to 120% improvement in lifetime relative to the Comparative Device 30.

[1653] An OLED device 34 such as that of Comparative Example 26 was constructed. The EL characteristics of this device are shown in Table 2.

[1654] OLED devices 35–38 similar to the device of Comparative Example 34 were constructed, except that in the luminescent layer (2) pyrene was used as the material for the first host component and TBADN as the material for the second host component. The relative amounts of pyrene and TBADN on a volume basis were in the ratio 2:98, 6:94, 13:87, and 33:77 for Examples 35, 36, 37, and 38, respectively. The EL characteristics of the devices 35–38 are shown in Table 2. As can be seen, devices 35–38 demonstrate from 150% to 180% improvement in lifetime relative to the Comparative Device 34.

[1656] For thicknesses and concentrations of materials in multi-component layers of each device see Table 3. OLED devices were prepared similar to Examples 1–38. The following organic layers were deposited in the following sequence by sublimation from heated crucible boats in a conventional vacuum deposition chamber under a vacuum of approximately 10⁻⁶ Torr: (1) a hole-transport layer, either 750 or 1,500 Å thick, including NPB, (2) a luminescent layer, from 100 to 2,000 Å thick, including the 1^st host component, 2^nd host component, and most often a luminescent dopant, and (3) an electron-transport layer, from 0 to 500 Å thick, including AlQ₃. In some cases 1^st host component was added also to the NPB hole-transporting layer, whole or part of it and with or without a luminescent dopant, or a part of the AlQ₃ electron-transporting layer, or both. In the cases of white OLEDs, structure utilizing two emissive layers was used where a part of the NPB hole-transporting layer doped with Orange 2 dopant served as a yellow-orange-emitting layer and TBADN doped with Blue-green 2 served as a blue-green-emitting layer.

[1657] The values for CIE coordinates and EL efficiency in W/A at 20 mA/cm² and for operational stabilities expressed as values of T_90% and T_50% at RT-40 mA/cm² and 70° C.−20 mA/cm² for Working and Comparative Examples are shown in Table 3. Table 3 further lists the effects of addition of the 1^st host component on the CIE coordinates, EL efficiency in W/A, and operational stability for Working Examples relative to the corresponding Comparative Examples.

[1658] Table 4 compiles various aging test data including aging at direct current conditions for Examples 47, 48, 49, 61, and 63-dibenzo[b,k]perylene as a first host component for red and green OLEDs.

[1659] As can be seen from Tables 3 and 4, Working Examples demonstrate from 50% to 10,000% improvements in lifetime relative to the respective Comparative Devices for a wide range of materials as 1^st host components, various 2^nd host components, various luminescent dopants of all colors, device configurations, compositions and thicknesses of emissive and charge-transporting layers, and testing conditions.

*fitted values; lifetimes were measured at average AC current density of 40 mA/cm2 (0.5 ms forward bias at 80 mA/cm2 alternating with the 0.5 ms of reverse bias of −14 V) and at room temperature and the same way at 20 mA/cm2 and 70° C.; fitted T50%'s are predicted values using stretched exponential fit procedure: the devices were run for some time, e.g. 250–2000 hours, after which time the aging was stopped and a plot of luminance versus time was fitted with stretched exponential function of the following form: Lt = L0 × exp(A × tB), where Lt is luminance at time t, L0 is initial luminance, A and B are empirical fit parameters, often found to be in the range of −0.011 and 0.59, respectively; half-lifetimes, T50%, were found by calculating time at·which Lt/L0 = 0.5; for 70° C.-20 mA/cm2 stability data, T50% sometimes represent actually measured values; 2x extrapolation works well, namely, fitted T50% values usually agree very well the actually measured ones when measured decay curve (used for fitting) reaches at least 75% of initial EL;
**the data are given at 20 mA/cm2 unless noted otherwise; Alq = AlQ = AlQ3; EML(emitting layer) = LEL(light-emitting layer) = luminescent layer.
