TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a carbazole derivative and an organic light emitting device including the same. BACKGROUND ART [0002]

The present invention relates to a carbazole derivative and an organic light emitting device including the same.

The organic light emission phenomenon is one example in which current is converted into visible light by an internal process of a specific organic molecule. The principle of organic luminescence phenomenon is as follows.

When an organic layer is positioned between the anode and the cathode, when a voltage is applied between the two electrodes, electrons and holes are injected into the organic layer from the cathode and the anode, respectively. Electrons and holes injected into the organic material layer recombine to form an exciton, and the exciton falls back to the ground state to emit light. An organic light emitting device using such a principle may be generally composed of an organic material layer including a cathode, an anode, and an organic material layer disposed therebetween, for example, a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light emitting layer, and an electron transport layer.

As a material used in an organic light emitting device, a pure organic material or a complex in which an organic material and a metal form a complex is mostly used. Depending on the application, a hole injecting material, a hole transporting material, a light emitting material, an electron transporting material, . As the hole injecting material and the hole transporting material, an organic material having a p-type property, that is, an organic material that is easily oxidized and electrochemically stable at the time of oxidation, is mainly used. On the other hand, as an electron injecting material or an electron transporting material, an organic material having an n-type property, that is, an organic material that is easily reduced and electrochemically stable when being reduced is mainly used. As the light emitting layer material, a material having both a p-type property and an n-type property, that is, a material having both a stable form in oxidation and in a reduced state is preferable, and a material having a high luminous efficiency for converting an exciton into light desirable.
