[0040] By combining Figure 1 The above and other aspects, features and advantages of certain embodiments of the present disclosure will become more apparent upon consideration of the following description. Figure 1 A schematic cross-sectional view of an organic light emitting device according to an exemplary embodiment is shown. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] Embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same reference numerals refer to the same elements throughout the specification. In this regard, the present embodiment may have different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the description set forth herein. Therefore, the following description of the embodiments is to illustrate aspects only by reference to the accompanying drawings. As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the relevant enumerated items. Expressions such as "at least one (kind)" when before or after a list of elements modify the entire list of elements and do not modify the individual elements of the list.

[0042] It will be understood that when an element is referred to as being “on” another element, it can be directly on 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.

[0043] 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 portions, these elements, components, regions, layers, and / or portions should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer, or portion from another element, component, region, layer, or portion. Thus, without departing from the teachings herein, a "first element," "component," "region," "layer," or "portion" discussed below may be referred to as a second element, component, region, layer, or portion.

[0044] The terms used herein are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to be limiting. As used herein, “a,” “an,” “the,” and “at least one” do not indicate a limitation of quantity and are intended to cover both the singular and the plural, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. For example, “an element” has the same meaning as “at least one element,” unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0045] "Or" means "and / or". As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. It will be further understood that the terms "comprise" or "include" when used in this specification indicate the presence of the stated features, regions, integers, steps, operations, elements and / or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more additional features, regions, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0046] In addition, relative terms such as "lower" or "bottom" and "upper" or "top" may be used herein to describe the relationship of one element to another element as shown in the figures. It will be understood that relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in addition to the orientations shown in the figures. For example, if the device in one of the figures is turned over, the element described as being on the "lower" side of the other element will be oriented on the "upper" side of the other element. Therefore, depending on the specific orientation of the figure, the exemplary term "lower" may include both "lower" and "upper" orientations. Similarly, if the device in one of the figures is turned over, the element described as being "below" or "beneath" the other element will be oriented "above" the other element. Therefore, the exemplary terms "below" or "beneath" may include both "above" and "below" orientations.

[0047] As used herein, "about" or "approximately" 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, taking into account the measurements in question and the errors associated with the 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 ±10% or 5% relative to the stated value.

[0048] 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 disclosure belongs. It will be further understood that terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and this disclosure, and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless clearly defined as such herein.

[0049] Exemplary embodiments are described herein with reference to cross-sectional views that are schematic representations of idealized embodiments. As such, deviations from the shapes of the figures are to be expected as a result of, for example, manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances. Therefore, the embodiments described herein should not be construed as limited to the specific shapes of the regions as illustrated herein, but rather include deviations in shape resulting from, for example, manufacturing. For example, a region illustrated or described as flat may typically have rough and / or nonlinear features. Furthermore, illustrated sharp corners may be rounded. Therefore, the regions illustrated in the figures are schematic in nature and their shapes are not intended to illustrate the precise shape of the regions and are not intended to limit the scope of the claims.

[0195]

[0196]

[0197]

[0198] In an embodiment, the organometallic compound may be electrically neutral.

[0199] The organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 satisfies the structure of Formula 1, and Formula 1 includes at least one germyl group substituted into a bidentate ligand including, for example, a benzo[9,10]phenanthrene moiety. Due to this structure, the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 has excellent luminescent properties and, by controlling the emission wavelength range, is suitable for use as a light-emitting material having high color purity.

[0200] In addition, the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 has excellent electron mobility, and thus, an electronic device including the organometallic compound, for example, an organic light-emitting device including the organometallic compound, may exhibit low driving voltage, high efficiency, long lifespan, and reduced roll-off phenomenon.

[0201] In addition, the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 has improved photochemical stability, and thus, an electronic device including the organometallic compound, for example, an organic light-emitting device including the organometallic compound, may exhibit high luminous efficiency, long lifetime, and high color purity.

[0202] The highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy level, lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy level, energy gap, S1 energy level, and T1 energy level of some compounds of the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 were evaluated using the Gaussian09 program with molecular structure optimization obtained by density functional theory (DFT) based on B3LYP, and the results are shown in Table 1.

[0203] Table 1

[0204]

[0205]

[0206] As confirmed in Table 1, the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 has electrical characteristics suitable for use as a dopant for electronic devices such as organic light-emitting devices.

[0207] In an embodiment, the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the emission peak of the emission spectrum or electroluminescence spectrum of the organometallic compound may be about 70 nm or less. For example, the FWHM of the emission peak of the emission spectrum or electroluminescence spectrum of the organometallic compound may be about 30 nm to about 65 nm, about 40 nm to about 63 nm, or about 45 nm to about 62 nm.

[0208] In an embodiment, the maximum emission wavelength (emission peak wavelength, λ) of the emission spectrum or the emission peak of the electroluminescence spectrum of the organometallic compound is 最大 ) may be from about 500 nm to about 600 nm.

[0209] The synthesis method of the organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 may be recognized by those of ordinary skill in the art by referring to the synthesis examples provided below.

[0210] The organometallic compound represented by Formula 1 is suitable for use in an organic layer of an organic light-emitting device, for example, as a dopant in an emissive layer of the organic layer. Therefore, another aspect provides an organic light-emitting device comprising: a first electrode; a second electrode; and an organic layer disposed between the first and second electrodes and comprising the emissive layer, wherein the organic layer comprises at least one organometallic compound represented by Formula 1.

[0211] As described above, the organic light-emitting device may have excellent characteristics in terms of driving voltage, current efficiency, power efficiency, external quantum efficiency, lifespan, and / or color purity due to the inclusion of an organic layer containing an organometallic compound represented by Formula 1. In addition, such an organic light-emitting device may have reduced roll-off and a relatively narrow electroluminescence (EL) spectrum emission peak FWHM.

[0212] The organometallic compound of Formula 1 can be used between a pair of electrodes of an organic light-emitting device.
