(a) Field of the Invention
An organic optoelectronic device and a display device are disclosed.
(b) Description of the Related Art
An organic optoelectronic device is a device that converts electrical energy into photoenergy, and vice versa.
An organic optoelectronic device may be classified as follows in accordance with its driving principles. One is an optoelectronic device where excitons are generated by photoenergy, separated into electrons and holes, and are transferred to different electrodes to generate electrical energy, and the other is a light emitting device where a voltage or a current is supplied to an electrode to generate photoenergy from electrical energy.
Examples of the organic optoelectronic device may be an organic photoelectric device, an organic light emitting diode, an organic solar cell, and an organic photo conductor drum.
Of these, an organic light emitting diode (OLED) has recently drawn attention due to an increase in demand for flat panel displays. The organic light emitting diode converts electrical energy into light by applying current to an organic light emitting material and has a structure in which an organic layer is interposed between an anode and a cathode.
Efficiency of an organic light emitting diode is considered to be one of the critical factors for realizing a long life-span full color display. Accordingly, much research on developing an organic light emitting diode having high efficiency by using a phosphorescent material has been made.

Accordingly, the third compound having excellent hole and electron characteristics is added to decrease or minimize a trap phenomenon between a dopant and a host and more smoothly inject holes and electrons into the emission layer and thus may provide an organic optoelectronic device having excellent efficiency as well as remarkably lower a driving voltage.
The addition of the third compound simultaneously having excellent hole and electron characteristics may solve the problem of increasing a driving voltage in case that only the first and second compounds are included, and thus effectively improve output efficiency performance of the device.

The measurements were specifically performed in the following methods, and the results are shown in Table 1.
(1) Measurement of Current Density Change Depending on Voltage Change
Current values flowing in the unit device of the manufactured organic light emitting diodes were measured for, while increasing the voltage from 0V to 10V using a current-voltage meter (Keithley 2400), and the measured current values were divided by an area to provide the results.
(2) Measurement of Luminance Change Depending on Voltage Change
Luminance of the manufactured organic light emitting diodes was measured for luminance, while increasing the voltage from 0 V to 10 V using a luminance meter (Minolta Cs-1000A).
(3) Measurement of Luminous Efficiency
Current efficiency (cd/A) at the same current density (10 mA/cm2) was calculated by using the luminance, current density, and voltages (V) from the items (1) and (2).
(4) Calculation of Luminous Efficiency Ratio
A luminous efficiency increase/decrease degree with a reference to luminous efficiency of Comparative Example 1 was calculated.
