Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

A compound for an organic optoelectronic device, an organic optoelectronic device, and a display device are disclosed.


BACKGROUND ART

An organic optoelectronic device (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 a light emitting device that generates light energy from electrical energy by supplying voltage or current to the electrodes.


Examples of the organic optoelectronic device include an organic photoelectric device, an organic light emitting diode, an organic solar cell, and an organic photoconductor drum.


Among them, organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) are attracting much attention in recent years due to increasing demands for flat panel display devices. The organic light emitting diode is a device that converts electrical energy into light, and the performance of the organic light emitting diode is greatly influenced by an organic material between electrodes.
