Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] [CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS] This application claims the benefit of priority based on Korean Patent Application No. 10-2021-0026796, filed February 26, 2021, and Korean Patent Application No. 10-2022-0023070, filed February 22, 2022, and all contents disclosed in the documents of said Korean patent applications are incorporated herein by reference.
[0002] The present invention relates to an organic light-emitting device. [Background technology]
[0003] 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 utilizing 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, much research is being conducted on these devices.
[0004] Organic light-emitting devices generally have a structure including an anode, an anode, and an organic material layer between the anode and the cathode. To enhance the efficiency and safety of organic light-emitting devices, the organic material layer often has a multi-layer structure composed of different materials, such as a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an emission layer, an electron transport layer, and an electron injection layer. When a voltage is applied between the two electrodes in such an organic light-emitting device, holes are injected from the anode and electrons are injected from the anode into the organic material layer. When the injected holes and electrons come into contact, excitons are formed. When these excitons return to their ground state, light is emitted.
[0005] 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]
