The present invention relates to an organic compound and an organic electroluminescent element comprising the same.
In an organic electroluminescent element, the application of a voltage across two opposite electrodes induces the injection of holes from the anode and electrons from the cathode into an organic layer. The injected holes and electrons recombine with each other to generate excitons which then return to the ground state, emitting light. The materials for use in the organic layer can be classified as luminescent materials, hole injection materials, hole transport materials, electron transport materials, and electron injection materials according to functions.
Widely known are NPB, BCP and Alq3 as materials for hole injection, hole transport and electron transport, and anthracene derivatives and Ir-bearing metal complexes, such as Firpic, Ir(ppy)3, (acac)Ir(btp)2 etc., as luminescent materials.
However, not only are such materials poor in thermal stability due to their low glass transition temperatures, but also organic electroluminescent elements having the materials introduced into organic layers thereof exhibit only an unsatisfactory level of current efficiency and lifespan because the materials are of low triplet energy.
In order to solve the problems encountered in related art, the present invention provides an organic compound that can impart an organic electroluminescent element with an improvement in driving voltage, current efficiency, and lifespan.
Also, the present invention provides an organic electroluminescent element comprising the organic compound.

Below, a detailed description is given of the present invention.
1. Organic Compound
The organic compound of the present invention has a framework, represented by Formula 1, in which a fluorene moiety is bonded to a 6-membered heterocyclic ring through a linker (phenylene, biphenylene or terphenylene).
The fluorene moiety serves as an electron donor group (EDG) with high electron donating ability. When the fluorene moiety is connected via a linker to a 6-membered heterocyclic ring that serves as an electron withdrawing group (EWG) with high electron withdrawing ability (e.g., pyridine, pyrimidine, triazine, etc.), the overall molecule exhibits a bipolar property. Accordingly, the compound of the present invention can improve hole-electron recombination.
In addition, since the linker, e.g., phenylene, or biphenylene or terphenylene, functions to minimize interaction between the electron donor group and the electron withdrawing group, the compound of the present invention into which the linker is introduced has a wide bandgap and a high triplet energy. Hence, the compound of the present invention, if applied to an organic layer, minimizes the diffusion of excitons to adjacent other organic layers. An organic electroluminescent element comprising such an organic layer can be improved in light emission efficiency and lifespan, compared to that comprising an organic layer lacking the linker. Further, with the introduction of a linker thereto, the compound of the present invention has a higher molecular weight than those lacking the linker, thus improving in thermal stability.
Such effects may be more intensified when bonds between an electron donor group and a linker, between linkers, and between a linker and an electron drawing group are more twisted structure formed thereof.
