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.
[0004] 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 the 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 to their bottom state, light is emitted.

[0108] The first compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 and the second compound represented by Chemical Formula 2 in the present invention both have an indolocarbazole skeleton. In addition, the first compound contains a triazine group and has a strong ability to transport electrons, and the second compound has a strong ability to transport holes, so that the mixture of the two substances has suitable properties for use as a host. In particular, since the two substances both have an indolocarbazole structure, they are well mixed with each other, which is advantageous for forming an exciplex and is advantageous for effectively transferring energy as a dopant. At this time, the first compound becomes an anion and the second compound becomes a cation to form an exciplex, but the first compound in the anion state becomes more unstable. By replacing five or more deuterium atoms therein, the vibration energy of the first compound becomes lower even in the anion state, and it has more stable energy.
