[0001] This application relates to the field of organic electroluminescence technology, and more specifically, to an organic compound and an organic electroluminescent device and electronic apparatus using the same. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, self-emissive organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), which can be driven by low voltage, have attracted much attention as a next-generation display element compared to mainstream flat panel displays, namely liquid crystal displays (LCDs), due to their superior performance in viewing angle and contrast, ease of achieving thinner and lighter designs without the need for backlights, low power consumption, and wide color reproduction range. To date, many materials suitable for use in OLEDs have been disclosed. However, OLEDs using currently known materials are not easily commercialized due to their high driving voltage, low efficiency, and short lifespan. Therefore, it is necessary to develop materials with excellent properties to achieve OLEDs that can be driven by low voltage while possessing high brightness and long lifespan. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide an organic compound and an organic electroluminescent device and electronic device using the same, which have high luminous efficiency and long service life.

[0036] The substituents in L1, L2, Ar1, and Ar2 may be the same or different, and each is independently selected from deuterium, cyano, halogen group, alkyl with 1 to 10 carbon atoms, haloalkyl with 1 to 10 carbon atoms, deuterated alkyl with 1 to 10 carbon atoms, trialkylsilyl with 3 to 12 carbon atoms, aryl with 6 to 20 carbon atoms, heteroaryl with 12 to 20 carbon atoms, cycloalkyl with 3 to 10 carbon atoms, or deuterated aryl with 6 to 20 carbon atoms;

[0037] Optionally, any two adjacent substituents in Ar1 and Ar2 can form a ring.

[0038] In this application, the terms "optional" or "optionally" mean that the event or situation described below may occur but does not have to occur, and the description includes the possibility that the event or situation may or may not occur. For example, "optionally, any two adjacent substituents form a ring" means that the two substituents may form a ring but are not required to form a ring, including both scenarios where the two adjacent substituents form a ring and scenarios where the two adjacent substituents do not form a ring.

[0039] In this application, the phrase "any two adjacent substituents forming a ring" can include two substituents on the same atom, or one substituent on each of two adjacent atoms. When two substituents are on the same atom, the two substituents can form a saturated or unsaturated ring with the atom they are connected to. When one substituent is on each of two adjacent atoms, the two substituents can fuse into a ring. For example, when Ar1 contains two or more substituents, the formation of a ring by any two adjacent substituents results in a saturated or unsaturated cyclic group, such as benzene rings, naphthalene rings, phenanthrene rings, anthracene rings, fluorene rings, cyclopentane, cyclohexane, adamantane, etc.

They can mean either that the specific options expressed by the same symbol in different groups do not affect each other, or that the specific options expressed by the same symbol in the same group do not affect each other. For example, In this formula, each q is independently 0, 1, 2 or 3, and each R is independently selected from hydrogen, deuterium, fluorine or chlorine. The meaning is as follows: Formula Q-1 indicates that there are q substituents R on the benzene ring. Each R can be the same or different, and the options of each R do not affect each other. Formula Q-2 indicates that there are q substituents R on each benzene ring of biphenyl. The number q of substituents R on the two benzene rings can be the same or different, and each R can be the same or different. The options of each R do not affect each other.

[0042] In this application, the term "substituted or unsubstituted" means that the functional group described after the term may or may not have substituents (hereinafter, for ease of description, substituents are collectively referred to as Rc). For example, "substituted or unsubstituted aryl" refers to an aryl group having a substituent Rc or an unsubstituted aryl group. The aforementioned substituents, i.e., Rc, can be, for example, deuterium, cyano, halogen group, alkyl, haloalkyl, deuteralkyl, trialkylsilyl, aryl, deuterated aryl, heteroaryl, cycloalkyl, etc. The number of substituents can be one or more.

[0044] In this application, the number of carbon atoms in substituted or unsubstituted functional groups refers to the total number of carbon atoms. For example, if L1 is a substituted arylene with 12 carbon atoms, then the total number of carbon atoms in the arylene and its substituents is 12.

[0045] In this application, aryl refers to any optional functional group or substituent derived from an aromatic carbon ring.
