Embodiments relate to a compound for an organic optoelectronic device, a composition for an organic optoelectronic device, an organic optoelectronic device, and a display device.
An organic optoelectronic device (e.g., organic optoelectronic diode) is a device capable of converting electrical energy and optical energy to each other.
Organic optoelectronic devices may be largely divided into two types according to a principle of operation. One is a photoelectric device that generates electrical energy by separating excitons formed by light energy into electrons and holes, and transferring the electrons and holes to different electrodes, respectively and the other is light emitting device that generates light energy from electrical energy by supplying voltage or current to the electrodes.
Examples of the organic optoelectronic device may include an organic photoelectric device, an organic light emitting diode, an organic solar cell, and an organic photo conductor drum.
Among them, the 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 performance of an organic light emitting diode may be affected by organic materials disposed between electrodes.
