Description
- An electroluminescent (EL) device is characterized in that it emits light when an electrical voltage is applied and current flows. Such devices have long been known in engineering as “light-emitting diodes” (LEDs). The emission of light is due to the fact that positive charges (“holes”) and negative charges (“electrons”) recombine with the emission of light.
- In the development of light-emitting components for electronics or photonics, use is mainly made at present of inorganic semiconductors, such as gallium arsenide. Punctiform indicating elements can be produced on the basis of such substances. Large-area devices are not possible.
- In addition to semiconductor light-emitting diodes, electroluminescent devices based on vapour-deposited low-molecular-weight organic compounds are known (U.S. Pat. No. 4,539,507, U.S. Pat. No. 4,769,262, U.S. Pat. No. 5,077,142, EP-A 406 762, EP-A 278 758, EP-A 278 757).
- Furthermore, polymers, such as poly(p-phenylenes) and poly(p-phenylenevinylenes) (PPV) are described as electroluminescent polymers: G. Leising et al., Adv. Mater. 4 (1992) No. 1; Friend et al., J Chem. Soc., Chem. Commun. 32 (1992); Saito et al., Polymer, 1990, Vol. 31, 1137; Friend et al., Physical Review B, Vol. 42, No. 18, 11670 or WO 90/13148. Further examples of PPV in electroluminescent indicators are described in EP-A 443 861, WO-A-9203490 and 92003491.
- EP-A 0 294 061 discloses an optical modulator based on polyacetylene.
- Heeger et al. have proposed soluble, conjugated PPV derivatives for producing flexible polymeric LEDs (WO 92/16023).
- Polymer blends of various compositions are likewise known: M. Stolka et al., Pure & Appl. Chem., Vol. 67, No. 1, pp 175-182, 1995; H. Bassler et al., Adv. Mater. 1995, 7, No. 6, 551; K. Nagai et al., Appl. Phys. Lett. 67 (16), 1995, 2281; EP-A 532 798.
- As a rule, the organic EL devices contain one or more layers of organic charge transport compounds. The basic structure of the layer sequence is as follows:
- 1 Carrier, substrate
- 2 Base electrode
- 3 Hole-injecting layer
- 4 Hole-transporting layer
- 5 Light-emitting layer
- 6 Electron-transporting layer
- 7 Electron-injecting layer
- 8 Top electrode
- 9 Contacts
- 10 Packaging, encapsulation.
- The layers 3 to 7 are the electroluminescent element.
- This structure is the most general case and can be simplified by omitting individual layers so that one layer assumes a plurality of tasks. In the simplest case, an EL device comprises two electrodes between which an organic layer is situated which fulfils all the functions, including the emission of light. Such systems are described, for example, in Application WO 90/13148 on the basis of poly(p-phenylene-vinylene).
- Multilayer systems can be constructed by vapour-deposition processes in which the layers are applied successively from the gas phase or by pouring methods. Because of the higher processing speed, pouring methods are preferred. However, in certain cases, the process of partially dissolving a layer already applied may present a difficulty in depositing the next layer on top.
- The object of the present invention is to provide electroluminescent devices having high luminous density, the mixture to be applied being pourable, i.e. capable of being applied from solution.
- It was found that electroluminescent devices containing material A or a blend of material A with polymeric binder B, mentioned below fulfil these requirements. In the following, the term zone is also to be equated with layer.
-
- in which
- R1 and R2 independently represent hydrogen, or linear alkyl or alkoxy containing 1 to 12 carbon atoms, preferably 1 to 8 carbon atoms, or branched alkyl or alkoxy containing 3 to 12, preferably 3 to 8 carbon atoms, or cycloalkyl containing 4 to 10, preferably 5 or 6 carbon atoms, with the proviso that
- R1 and R2 may not both by hydrogen,
- R3 and R4 are identical or different and represent hydrogen, C1-C6-alkyl (preferably methyl or ethyl), CN or halogen (preferably fluorine, chlorine or 5 bromine),
- R5, R6 R7 and R8 are identical or different and may be any desired radicals, inter alia, radicals suitable for coupling oligomers to other oligomers/polymers, n is an integer from 2 to 20, preferably 2 to 15 and particularly preferably 2 to 10,
- R5 and R7 represent independently of one another, preferably hydrogen or alkyl, in particular Cl-C4-alkyl, very particularly preferably methyl,
- R6 and R8 represent, independently of one another, preferably alkyl or aryl radical, in particular C1-C6-alkyl or phenyl. The alkyl and phenyl radicals may contain one or more functional groups, such as, for example, —OH, —CN, —CHO or Br.
- With suitable substitution, the oligomers of substituted divinylbenzene may also be incorporated, for example, in polymers as discussed below, by means of functional groups. In this connection, it is possible to produce both main-chain and side-chain polymers containing low-molecular-weight compounds.
- The oligomers may be coupled to polymers containing double bonds, for example unsaturated polymers, such as polybutadiene and polyoctamer by metathetic incorporation (cross-metathesis reaction of the oligomers and an unsaturated polymer).
- The electroluminescent device is made up of an anode, an electroluminescent element and a cathode, at least one of the two electrodes being transparent or semi transparent in the visible spectral range. The electroluminescent element contains:
- A hole-injecting zone, a hole-transporting zone, an electroluminescent zone, an electron-transporting zone and/or an electron-injecting zone, characterized in that the electroluminescent element optionally contains a functionalized compound from the group comprising the hole-transporting materials, a luminescent material A and, optionally, electron-transporting materials, at least one zone being present, individual zones being omitted and the joined zone(s) taking over a multiplicity of tasks.
- A zone can take over a multiplicity of tasks, i.e., a zone may contain, for example, hole-injecting, hole-transporting, electroluminescent, electron-injecting and/or electron-transporting substances.
- The electroluminescent element may furthermore contain one or more transparent polymeric binders B.
- An additional embodiment of the invention relates to the device comprising the product of reaction of the oligomer of formula (I) and a polymeric resin containing double bonds, for example unsaturated polymers, such as polybutadiene or polyoctamer.
- The oligomers of substituted p-divinylbenzene may be produced by known methods, for example by metathesis reactions, which are described in Macromol. Rapid Commun., 16 (1995),149 (cf. also Examples).
- The products are soluble in common solvents. They can be processed to form transparent films which, depending on the value of n and/or the choice of substituents on the phenyl ring, exhibit different photoluminescents. By varying n and/or the choice of the substituents, the wavelength (color) of the emitted light can therefore be systematically adjusted.

-
- R1 and R2 independently are hydrogen, alkyl or alkoxy substituents, and n is 2 to 20.
- The polycondensation reactions are carried out under an inert gas stream, argon being used, from which oxygen traces and water traces and water traces are removed (<10−5% by volume) by means of an “OxisorbR” miniature absorber (supplied by Messer-Grieβheim, Duisburg, Germany). A schlenk tube or a flask provided with inert gas and vacuum connections (standard Schlenk technique) is used as reaction vessel.
- Before use, the glassware is baked out for approximately 4 hours under a mercury-diffusion-pump vacuum and then filled with argon.
- The solvents toluene, decalin, cyclohexane, hexane, pentane are refluxed for 2 to 3 days over lithium alanate and distilled off under argon. 0.5 ml of n-butyllithium are then added to 250 ml of solvent, subjected to a plurality of freezing/thawing cycles until vacuum constancy is reached (mercury-diffusion-pump vacuum) and condensed over into a stock vessel.
- The polycondensation of dibutyl-, diheptyl- or didecyl-substituted divinylbenzenes and the protection (cross metathesis) of the alkyl-substituted p-divinylbenzene oligomers are carried out at room temperature. The conversion of dicyclohexyl- or diheptyloxy-substituted p-divinylbenzenes is carried out at an elevated temperature of 50° C. and up to 80° C.
- Synthesis of Oligomers of 2,5-heptyl-substituted 1,4-divinylbenzene
- a) Preparation of Oligomers Having Narrow Dispersity
- 68 mg (208 μmol) of 2,5-diheptyl-1,4-divinylbenzene are introduced as a solid into a Schlenk tube provided with protective gas and vacuum connections and the reaction is started by rapidly adding the catalyst solution (0.5 ml of a toluene solution of Mo(NAr)(CHAr′)[OC(CH3)(CF3)2]2) with the concentration of C=6.7 mmol./l. The polycondensation is carried out in sealed equipment at reduced pressure with constant stirring. Ethene is removed by repeatedly applying a reduced pressure for a short time to the reaction flask (approximately 3 times in the first hour, then about every 6 hours) to shift the equilibrium of the reaction to the polycondensate side.
- After a reaction time of 24 hours, the experiment is terminated by adding propanal. Propanal makes possible the defined termination of the metathesis reaction by means of a reaction analogous to the Wittig reaction. The reaction mixture. is taken up in 30 ml of toluene and then filtered. The product is obtained by precipitation in 100 ml of methanol after filtration, drying and extraction by means of chloroform.

- b) Preparation of Oligomers with Wide Molecular-weight Distribution
- 2 g (6.12 mmol) of 2,5-diheptyl-1,4-divinylbenzene are dried for several hours in a mercury diffusion-pump vacuum in a flask provided with inert gas and vacuum connections. Then 50 ml of pentane and 0.123 mmol of catalyst dissolved in 17 ml of pentane (c=7.22 mmol/l) are added. After applying a slight vacuum, the reaction mixture is stirred for 24 hours at room temperature under an inert gas atmosphere. After adding 3 ml of propionaldehyde, the solvent is removed using a rotary evaporator, the crude product is taken up in toluene and the higher-molecular-weight oligomer fraction is precipitated by adding double the volume of methanol. This product is filtered off, predried in an oil-pump vacuum (=10−2 bar) for 10 hours and then dried for a further 10 hours in a mercury diffusion-pump vacuum. 1.05 g (56%) of oligomer having a mean degree of polymerization of 6 to 7 are obtained as a green, fluorescent solid.
