Description

Novel compound and organic light emitting device using the same {NOVEL COMPOUND AND ORGANIC LIGHT EMITTING DEVICE COMPRISING THE SAME}

The present invention relates to a novel compound and an organic light emitting device comprising the same.

In general, the organic light emission phenomenon refers to a phenomenon in which electrical energy is converted into light energy by using an organic material. An organic light-emitting device using the organic light-emitting phenomenon has a wide viewing angle, excellent contrast, and fast response time, and has excellent luminance, driving voltage, and response speed characteristics, and thus many studies are being conducted.

An organic light-emitting device generally has a structure including an anode and a cathode, and an organic material layer between the anode and the cathode. The organic material layer is often made of a multi-layered structure composed of different materials in order to increase the efficiency and stability of the organic light-emitting device.For example, it may be formed of a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light emitting layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, and the like. In the structure of such an organic light emitting device, when a voltage is applied between the two electrodes, holes are injected from the anode and electrons from the cathode are injected into the organic material layer, and excitons are formed when the injected holes and electrons meet. When it falls back to the ground, it glows.

Development of new materials for organic materials used in organic light emitting devices as described above is continuously required.

On the other hand, in recent years, in order to reduce process cost, an organic light emitting device using a solution process, in particular an inkjet process, instead of a conventional deposition process has been developed. In the early days, an attempt was made to develop an organic light-emitting device by coating all organic light-emitting device layers by a solution process, but the current technology has limitations, so only HIL, HTL, and EML in the form of a regular structure are carried out as a solution process, and the later process is the existing deposition process. A hybrid process that utilizes is being studied.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a material for a novel organic light-emitting device that can be used for an organic light-emitting device and can be deposited by a solution process at the same time.
