More particularly, the present invention relates to spirobenzofluorenone derivatives suitable for electronic devices, particularly organic electroluminescent devices, organic field effect transistors and organic solar cells, and electronic devices using the spirobenzofluorenone derivatives.

Background

The organic electroluminescent device has a series of advantages of self-luminescence, low-voltage driving, full curing, wide viewing angle, simple composition and process and the like, and compared with a liquid crystal display, the organic electroluminescent device does not need a backlight source. Therefore, the organic electroluminescent device has wide application prospect.

Organic electroluminescent devices generally comprise an anode, a metal cathode and an organic layer sandwiched therebetween. The organic layer mainly comprises a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an electron blocking layer, a light emitting layer, a hole blocking layer, an electron transport layer and an electron injection layer. In addition, a host-guest structure is often used for the light-emitting layer. That is, the light emitting material is doped in the host material at a certain concentration to avoid concentration quenching and triplet-triplet annihilation, improving the light emitting efficiency. Therefore, the host material is generally required to have a higher triplet energy level and, at the same time, a higher stability.

At present, research on organic electroluminescent materials has been widely conducted in academia and industry, and a large number of organic electroluminescent materials with excellent performance have been developed. In view of the above, the future direction of organic electroluminescent devices is to develop high efficiency, long lifetime, low cost white light devices and full color display devices, but the industrialization of the technology still faces many key problems. Therefore, designing and searching a stable and efficient compound as a novel material of an organic electroluminescent device to overcome the defects of the organic electroluminescent device in the practical application process is a key point in the research work of the organic electroluminescent device material and the future research and development trend.
