An electroluminescent device is one type of self-emissive display devices, and has an advantage of having a wide viewing angle, and a high response speed as well as having an excellent contrast.
An organic light emitting device has a structure disposing an organic thin film between two electrodes. When a voltage is applied to an organic light emitting device having such a structure, electrons and holes injected from the two electrodes bind and pair in the organic thin film, and light emits as these annihilate. The organic thin film may be formed in a single layer or a multilayer as necessary.
A material of the organic thin film may have a light emitting function as necessary. For example, as a material of the organic thin film, compounds capable of forming a light emitting layer themselves alone may be used, or compounds capable of performing a role of a host or a dopant of a host-dopant-based light emitting layer may also be used. In addition thereto, compounds capable of performing roles of hole injection, hole transfer, electron blocking, hole blocking, electron transfer, electron injection and the like may also be used as a material of the organic thin film.
Development of an organic thin film material has been continuously required for enhancing performance, lifetime or efficiency of an organic light emitting device.

When including the compound of Chemical Formula 1 and the compound of Chemical Formula 2 at the same time in an organic material layer of an organic light emitting device, more superior efficiency and lifetime effects are obtained. Such results may lead to a forecast that an exciplex phenomenon occurs when including the two compounds at the same time.
The exciplex phenomenon is a phenomenon of releasing energy having sizes of a donor (p-host) HOMO level and an acceptor (n-host) LUMO level due to electron exchanges between two molecules.

When a donor (p-host) having favorable hole transfer capability and an acceptor (n-host) having favorable electron transfer capability are used as a host of a light emitting layer, holes are injected to the p-host and electrons are injected to the n-host, and therefore, a driving voltage may decrease, which resultantly helps with lifetime enhancement.
