Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a novel compound and an organic light-emitting device containing the same. [Background technology]
[0002] Generally, organic light emitting phenomenon refers to a phenomenon in which electrical energy is converted into light energy using organic materials. Organic light emitting devices using organic light emitting phenomenon have a wide viewing angle, excellent contrast, fast response time, and excellent brightness, driving voltage, and response speed characteristics, and are the subject of much research.
[0003] An organic light emitting device generally has a structure including a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and an organic material layer between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. The organic material 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 material 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.
[0004] There is a continuing demand for the development of new organic materials for use in such organic light emitting devices.
[0005] Meanwhile, in recent years, organic light-emitting devices that use solution processes, especially inkjet processes, instead of the conventional deposition process have been developed to reduce process costs. In the early days, attempts were made to develop organic light-emitting devices by coating all the layers of the organic light-emitting device using solution processes, but current technology has limitations, so research is being conducted on a hybrid process in which only HIL, HTL, and EML are processed using solution processes in a fixed structure, and subsequent processes utilize conventional deposition processes.
[0006] Therefore, the present invention provides a novel organic light emitting device material that can be used in organic light emitting devices and is simultaneously solution processable. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
