Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

[0001] This application claims priority to and the benefit of Korean Patent Applications Nos. 10-2014-0169183, filed on Nov. 28, 2014, and 10-2015-0129776, filed on Sep. 14, 2015, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.

BACKGROUND

[0002] 1. Field

[0003] One or more embodiments relate to an organometallic compound and an organic light-emitting device including the same.

[0004] 2. Description of the Related Art

[0005] Organic light emitting devices (OLEDs) are self-emission devices that have wide viewing angles, high contrast ratios, and short response times. In addition, OLEDs exhibit excellent brightness, driving voltage, and response speed characteristics, and produce full-color images.

[0006] 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.

[0007] Various types of organic light emitting devices are known. However, there still remains a need in OLEDs having low driving voltage, high efficiency, high brightness, and long lifespan.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0034] These and/or other aspects will become apparent and more readily appreciated from the following description of the embodiments, taken in conjunction with

[0035] FIG. 1 which is a schematic view of an organic light-emitting device according to an embodiment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout. In this regard, the present embodiments may have different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the descriptions set forth herein. Accordingly, the embodiments are merely described below, by referring to the FIGURES, to explain aspects of the present inventive concept. As used herein, the term "and/or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. 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.

[0037] It will be understood that when an element is referred to as being "on" another element, it can be directly in contact with 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.

[0038] 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 of the present embodiments.

[0039] 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 as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0040] 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.

[0041] Spatially relative terms, such as "beneath," "below," "lower," "above," "upper" and the like, may be used herein for ease of description to describe one element or feature's relationship to another element(s) or feature(s) as illustrated in the FIGURES. It will be understood that the spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the FIGURES. For example, if the device in the FIGURES is turned over, elements described as "below" or "beneath" other elements or features would then be oriented "above" the other elements or features. Thus, the exemplary term "below" can encompass both an orientation of above and below. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations) and the spatially relative descriptors used herein interpreted accordingly.

[0042] "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.

[0043] 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 invention 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 an d the present disclosure, and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly so defined herein.

[0044] 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.

[0276] Regarding the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1, L.sub.1 is selected from a ligand represented by Formula 2A, and b4 in Formula 2A is 1 or more. That is, a substituent of a pyridine-based ring in Formula 2A may include at least one group --Si(R.sub.1)(R.sub.2)(R.sub.3). Group --Si(R.sub.1)(R.sub.2)(R.sub.3) increases spin density of metal M in Formula 1. Accordingly, an organic light-emitting device using the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 having the ligand represented by Formula 2A may have high efficiency.

[0277] Also, X.sub.1 in Formula 2A may be selected from O, S, S(.dbd.O).sub.2, N(R.sub.21), and Si(R.sub.22)(R.sub.23). When X.sub.1 is selected from the groups above, charge mobility of the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 having the ligand represented by Formula 2A improves, and energy levels thereof are easily controllable. Accordingly, efficiency and lifespan of an organic light-emitting device using the organometallic compound may be improved.

[0278] For example, HOMO, LUMO, singlet (Si) and triplet (Ti) energy levels of the organometallic compounds 1, 2, 8, 22, 139, 146, 304, 305, 321, 323, 327 and 419 were evaluated by using a DFT method of Gaussian program (structurally optimized at a level of B3LYP, 6-31G(d,p)). Evaluation results are shown in Table 1 below.

[0279] From Table 1, it is confirmed that the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 has electric characteristics that are suitable for use as a material for manufacturing a device, for example, an organic light-emitting device.

[0280] Synthesis methods of the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 may be recognizable by one of ordinary skill in the art by referring to Synthesis Examples provided below.

[0281] 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:

[0282] a first electrode;

[0283] a second electrode; and

[0284] an organic layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, wherein the organic layer includes an emission layer and at least one organometallic compound represented by Formula 1.

[0285] The organic light-emitting device may have, due to the inclusion of an organic layer including the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1, a low driving voltage, high efficiency, high power, and a long lifespan.

[0286] The organometallic compound of Formula 1 may be used between a pair of electrodes of an organic light-emitting device. 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 (that is, an amount of the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 is smaller than an amount of the host).

[0287] The expression "(an organic layer) includes at least one organometallic compounds" used herein may include an embodiment in which (an organic layer) includes identical organometallic compounds of Formula 1 and an embodiment in which (an organic layer) includes two or more different organometallic compounds of Formula 1.

[0288] For example, the organic layer may include, as the organometallic compound, only Compound 1. In this regard, Compound 1 may be included 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 included in an identical layer (for example, Compound 1 and Compound 2 all may be included in an emission layer).

[0289] 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, and the second electrode may be an anode, which is a hole injection electrode.

[0290] 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 between the first electrode and the emission layer, and ii) an electron transport region between the emission layer and the second electrode, and the hole transport region includes at least one selected from a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, and an electron blocking layer, and the electron transport region includes at least one selected from a hole blocking layer, an electron transport layer, and an electron injection layer.

[0291] The term "organic layer" as 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.

[0292] FIG. 1 is a schematic view of an organic light-emitting device 10 according to an embodiment. 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. The organic light-emitting device 10 includes a first electrode 11, an organic layer 15, and a second electrode 19, which are sequentially stacked.

[0293] In FIG. 1, a substrate may be additionally disposed under the first electrode 11 or above the second electrode 19. As the substrate, any substrate that is used in general organic light-emitting devices may be used. 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-resistance.

[0294] 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 may be, for example, indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), tin oxide (SnO.sub.2), and zinc oxide (ZnO). In some embodiments, magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), aluminum-lithium (Al--Li), calcium (Ca), magnesium-indium (Mg--In), or magnesium-silver (Mg--Ag) may be used as the material for the first electrode.

[0295] 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.

[0296] An organic layer 15 is disposed on the first electrode 11.

[0297] The organic layer 15 may include a hole transport region, an emission layer, and an electron transport region.

[0298] The hole transport region may be disposed between the first electrode 11 and the emission layer.

[0299] The hole transport region may include at least one selected from a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an electron blocking layer, and a buffer layer.

[0300] The hole transport region may include only either a hole injection layer or a hole transport layer. In some embodiments, 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.

[0301] A hole injection layer may be formed on the first electrode 11 by using various methods, such as vacuum deposition, spin coating, casting, or Langmuir-Blodgett (LB).

[0302] When a hole injection layer is formed by vacuum deposition, the deposition conditions may vary according to a material that is used to form the hole injection layer, and the structure and thermal characteristics of the hole injection layer. For example, the deposition conditions may include a deposition temperature of about 100 to about 500.degree. C., a vacuum pressure of about 10.sup.-8 to about 10.sup.-3 torr, and a deposition rate of about 0.01 to about 100 Angstroms per second (A/sec). However, the deposition conditions are not limited thereto.

[0303] When the hole injection layer is formed using spin coating, coating conditions may vary according to the material used to form the hole injection layer, and the structure and thermal properties of the hole injection layer. For example, a coating speed may be from about 2,000 revolutions per minute (rpm) to about 5,000 rpm, and a temperature at which a heat treatment is performed to remove a solvent after coating may be from about 80.degree. C. to about 200.degree. C. However, the coating conditions are not limited thereto.

[0304] Conditions for a hole transport layer and an electron blocking layer may be understood by referring to conditions for forming the hole injection layer.

[0305] The hole transport region may include at least one selected from m-MTDATA, TDATA, 2-TNATA, NPB, .beta.-NPB, TPD, Spiro-TPD, Spiro-NPB, methylated NPB, TAPC, HMTPD, 4,4',4''-tris(N-carbazolyl)triphenylamine (TCTA), polyaniline/dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (Pani/DBSA), poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT/PSS), polyaniline/camphor sulfonic acid (PANI/CSA), (polyaniline)/poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (Pani/PSS), a compound represented by Formula 201 below, and a compound represented by Formula 202 below:

##STR00219##

[0319] R.sub.101, R.sub.111, R.sub.112, and R.sub.109 in Formula 201A may be understood by referring to the description provided herein.

[0320] For example, the compound represented by Formula 201, and the compound represented by Formula 202 may include compounds HT1 to HT20 illustrated below, but are not limited thereto.

##STR00220## ##STR00221## ##STR00222## ##STR00223## ##STR00224## ##STR00225##

[0321] A thickness of the hole transport region may be in a range of about 100 Angstroms (.ANG.) to about 10,000 .ANG., for example, about 100 .ANG. to about 1,000 .ANG.. 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 .ANG. to about 10,000 .ANG., and for example, about 100 .ANG. to about 1,000 .ANG., and the thickness of the hole transport layer may be in a range of about 50 .ANG. to about 2,000 .ANG., and for example, about 100 .ANG. to about 1,500 .ANG.. 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.

[0326] Then, an emission layer (EML) may be formed on the hole transport region by vacuum deposition, spin coating, casting, LB deposition, or the like. When the emission layer is formed by vacuum deposition or spin coating, the deposition or coating conditions may be similar to those applied to form the hole injection layer, although the deposition or coating conditions may vary according to the material that is used to form the emission layer.

[0327] Meanwhile, when the hole transport region includes an electron blocking layer, a material for the electron blocking layer may be selected from materials for the hole transport region described above and materials for a host to be explained later.

[0346] When the organic light-emitting device is a full color organic light-emitting device, the emission layer may be patterned into a red emission layer, a green emission layer, and a blue emission layer. In some embodiments, due to a stack structure including a red emission layer, a green emission layer, and/or a blue emission layer, the emission layer may emit white light.

[0347] When the emission layer includes a host and a dopant, an amount of the dopant may be in a range of about 0.01 to about 15 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the host, but is not limited thereto.

[0348] A thickness of the emission layer may be in a range of about 100 .ANG. to about 1000 .ANG., for example, about 200 .ANG. to about 600 .ANG..
