Test Method for the Performance of the Organic Electroluminescent Device

Under the same brightness, the driving voltage, current efficiency and the lifetime of the organic electroluminescent device prepared in Examples and Comparative Examples were measured by using a digital source meter and a brightness meter. Specifically; the voltage was raised at a rate of 0.1 V/s. The driving voltage was the voltage when the brightness of the organic electroluminescent device reached 6000 nit, and the current density was measured at this time. The ratio of the brightness to the current density was current efficiency. The LT95 lifetime was measured as follows: using a luminance meter, keeping the current constant under the brightness of 6000 nit, and measuring the consumed time when the brightness of the organic electroluminescent device was decreased to 5700 cd/m2. The unit was hour,
