Since the thin film made of the 1,2,4,5-substituted phenyl derivative of the present invention has amorphous properties, heat resistance, electron transportation ability, hole blocking ability, water resistance, anaerobic oxidation and electron injection characteristics, It can be used as an electron transporting material, a hole blocking material, a light emitting host material and the like. Further, since the 1,2,4,5-substituted phenyl derivative (1) of the present invention has a wide band gap, for the purpose of being used not only for a fluorescent element but also for a phosphorescent element, the present invention is also applicable to a doping device for applying an n-dopant.

Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, high emission efficiency and low driving power can be realized as a vapor deposition device. This makes it possible to use for illumination other than the panel.
