[0507]

[0508] From the Table 7, it can be confirmed that the light-emitting elements of Examples 2-1 to 2-7 show more excellent results in efficiency and lifetime than those of Comparative Examples 2-1 and 2-4, the light-emitting elements of Examples 2-8 to 2-14 show more excellent results in efficiency and lifetime than those of Comparative Examples 2-2 and 2-5, and the light-emitting elements of Examples 2-15 to 2-21 show more excellent results in efficiency and lifetime than those of Comparative Examples 2-3 and 2-6.

[0509] In the case where the ink composition according to an embodiment of the present application is used in a solution process, the effect of laminating two layers by a baking process using one ink composition can be obtained.

[0510] Further, by imparting solvent selectivity, it is possible to perform lamination using another ink composition in the upper portion, and thus an organic light emitting element exhibiting high efficiency and long life characteristics can be realized. Furthermore, it is also useful for application to a full-color display based on this.
