[0003] The present invention relates to a novel compound and an organic light-emitting device containing the same. [Background technology]

[0004] Generally, organic light emitting phenomenon refers to a phenomenon in which electrical energy is converted into light energy using an organic material. Organic light emitting devices using the organic light emitting phenomenon have a wide viewing angle, excellent contrast, and fast response time, and are excellent in brightness, driving voltage, and response speed characteristics, and therefore many researches are being conducted on these devices.

[0005] An organic light-emitting device generally has a structure including a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and an organic layer between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. The organic layer is often a multi-layer structure composed of different materials to improve the efficiency and safety of the organic light-emitting device, for example, a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light-emitting layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, etc. In such an organic light-emitting device structure, when a voltage is applied between two electrodes, holes are injected from the positive electrode and electrons are injected from the negative electrode into the organic layer. When the injected holes and electrons come into contact with each other, excitons are formed, and when the excitons fall back to the ground state, light is emitted.

[0006] There is a continuing demand for the development of new organic materials for use in such organic light-emitting devices. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0083] [Example] Comparative Example 1 A glass substrate coated with a 1400 Å thick thin film of ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) was soaked in distilled water with detergent and ultrasonically cleaned. The detergent used was Decon (Fischer Co.). TM (registered trademark) CON705 product was used, and distilled water was filtered through a 0.22 μm sterilizing filter manufactured by Millipore Co. The ITO was washed for 30 minutes, and then ultrasonically cleaned twice with distilled water for 10 minutes. After the distilled water cleaning was completed, the substrate was ultrasonically cleaned for 10 minutes each with isopropyl alcohol, acetone, and methanol solvents, dried, and then transferred to a plasma cleaning device. The substrate was also cleaned for 5 minutes using oxygen plasma, and then transferred to a vacuum deposition device.

[0084] On the ITO transparent electrode thus prepared, the following compound HI-A and compound LG-101 were sequentially thermally vacuum deposited to a thickness of 800 Å and 50 Å, respectively, to form a hole injection layer. On top of that, the following compound HT-A was vacuum deposited to a thickness of 800 Å as a hole transport layer, and then the following compound EB-A was thermally vacuum deposited to a thickness of 600 Å as an electron blocking layer. Compound RH-A was applied as a host for the light-emitting layer, and compound RD-A was applied as a dopant, and the host and dopant were vacuum deposited to a thickness of 400 Å in a weight ratio of 98:2. Then, the following compound ET-A and compound Liq were thermally vacuum deposited to a thickness of 360 Å in a ratio of 1:1 as an electron transport and injection layer, and Liq was then vacuum deposited to a thickness of 5 Å.

[0085] Magnesium and silver were sequentially deposited on the electron injection layer in a ratio of 10:1 to a thickness of 220 Å, and aluminum was deposited to a thickness of 1000 Å to form a negative electrode, thereby completing the manufacture of an organic light emitting device.

In this case, when a mixture of two compounds was used as the host, the weight ratio between the host compounds is indicated in parentheses. Compounds pRH-1, pRH-2 and compounds A to C in Table 1 are as follows.

At this time, the voltage and efficiency were 10 mA / cm 2 The LT97 is measured at a current density of 20mA / cm 2 This means the time it takes for the initial brightness to decrease to 97%.
