The organic compound and the organic light-emitting device comprising same, according to the present invention, can be industrially utilized in various lighting, display devices and the like.
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to an organic compound, and more particularly, to an organic compound which is employed as a material for an organic layer in an organic light emitting device, and an organic light emitting device which employs the same, thus achieving greatly improved luminescent properties such as low-voltage driving of the device and excellent luminous efficiency.


BACKGROUND ART

The organic light emitting device may be formed even on a transparent substrate, and may be driven at a low voltage of 10 V or less compared to a plasma display panel or an inorganic electroluminescence (EL) display. In addition, the device consumes relatively little power and has good color representation. The device may display three colors of green, blue, and read, and thus has recently become a subject of intense interest as a next-generation display device.


However, in order for such an organic light emitting device to exhibit the aforementioned characteristics, the materials constituting an organic layer in the device, such as hole injecting materials, hole transport materials, light emitting materials, electron transport materials, and electron injecting materials, are prerequisites for the support by stable and efficient materials. However, the development of a stable and efficient organic layer material for an organic light emitting device has not yet been sufficiently made.


Thus, further improvements in terms of efficiency and life characteristics are required for good stability, high efficiency, long lifetime, and large size of organic light emitting devices. Particularly, there is a strong need to develop materials constituting each organic layer of organic light emitting devices.
