Abstract:
Host materials with pentafluorophenyl substitution are described. These compounds are designed for, and used for hosting aza substituted dopants that may be susceptible to intramolecular deprotonation. In addition, the fluorinated substitution aids with electron transport within the emissive layer.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an organic electroluminescent device including an anode, a cathode, and an emissive layer between the anode and the cathode, the emissive layer including a phosphorescent material and a compound having a repeat unit that contains a novel triphenylene moiety. A preferred group of the novel triphenylene moiety are triphenylenes that are substituted with a non-fused aryl group having one or more meta-substituents, where each meta-substituent is a non-fused aryl group optionally substituted with further substituents selected from the group consisting of non-fused aryl groups and alkyl groups. A further preferred group of compounds are triphenylenes that are substituted with a non-fused heteroaryl group having one or more meta-substituents, where each meta-substituent is a non-fused aryl or heteroaryl group optionally substituted with further substituents selected from the group consisting of non-fused aryl groups, non-fused heteroaryl groups, and alkyl groups. The compounds may be useful in phosphorescent organic light emitting devices.

In these compounds, metal M has an atomic number greater than 40; x is 1, 2, or 3; y is 0, 1, or 2; x+y is the oxidation state of metal M; L11 represents a linking group selected from alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, and heteroaryl; L12 represents a linking group selected from NR15 and PR15; each R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R11, R12, R13, R14, and R15 is independently selected from a group of substituents, wherein any adjacent substituents are optionally joined to form a fused or unfused ring; and LA and LB are optionally joined to form a ligand that is at least tetradentate. Formulations and devices, such as OLEDs, that include the compound of Formula M(LA)x(LB)y are also described.
Abstract:
Novel devices containing organic compounds containing electron donor and acceptor characteristics and that act as emissive dopants are provided. The energy ratio obtained by dividing the T1 energy of the emissive dopant by ΔEHOMO-LUMO for the same emissive dopant is at least 0.7 and the first emissive dopant has an energy difference calculated by subtracting the T1 energy of the first emissive dopant from ΔEHOMO-LUMO for the first emissive dopant and the energy difference is at smaller than or equal to 1.00 eV for the novel compounds. The compounds exhibit delayed fluorescence properties when incorporated into OLED devices.
Abstract:
Novel devices comprising a layer including compounds that are capable of triplet triplet annihilation up conversation (TTA-UC) and techniques for operating the same are provided. In particular, the up-conversation layer absorbs light emitted by the OLED device and emits up-converted light with shorter wavelength in response. These devices and techniques may be used to provide improved lifetime for blue emitting devices.
