TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a novel compound and to an organic light emitting device comprising the same.
BACKGROUND
In general, an organic light emitting phenomenon refers to a phenomenon where electric energy is converted into light energy by using an organic material. The organic light emitting device using the organic light emitting phenomenon has characteristics such as a wide viewing angle, an excellent contrast, a fast response time, an excellent luminance, driving voltage and response speed, and thus many studies have proceeded.
The organic light emitting device generally has a structure which comprises an anode, a cathode, and an organic material layer interposed between the anode and the cathode. The organic material layer frequently has a multilayered structure that comprises different materials in order to enhance efficiency and stability of the organic light emitting device, and for example, the organic material layer can be formed of a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light emitting layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer and the like. In the structure of the organic light emitting device, if a voltage is applied between two electrodes, the holes are injected from an anode into the organic material layer and the electrons are injected from the cathode into the organic material layer, and when the injected holes and electrons meet each other, an exciton is formed, and light is emitted when the exciton falls to a ground state again.
There is a continuing need for the development of new materials for the organic materials used in these organic light emitting devices.

Experimental Examples
Experimental Example 1
A glass substrate on which ITO (indium tin oxide) was coated as a thin film to a thickness of 1,000 Å was put into distilled water in which a detergent was dissolved, and ultrasonically cleaned. In this case, a product manufactured by Fischer Co., was used as the detergent, and as the distilled water, distilled water filtered twice using a filter manufactured by Millipore Co., was used. After the ITO was cleaned for 30 minutes, ultrasonic cleaning was repeated twice using distilled water for 10 minutes. After the cleaning with distilled water was completed, the substrate was ultrasonically cleaned with solvents of isopropyl alcohol, acetone, and methanol, then dried, and then transferred to a plasma cleaner. The substrate was cleaned for 5 minutes using oxygen plasma, and then transferred to a vacuum depositor.
On the ITO transparent electrode which is the anode electrode thus prepared, the following compound HI1 and the following compound HI2 were thermally vacuum deposited at a ratio of 98:2 (molar ratio) to have a thickness of 100 Å, thereby forming a hole injection layer. The following compound HT1 was vacuum deposited on the hole injection layer to a thickness of 1150 Å to form a hole transfer layer. The following compound EB1 was vacuum deposited on the hole transport layer to a thickness of 50 Å to form an electron blocking layer. Then, the following compound BH and the following compound BD were vacuum deposited at a weight ratio of 25:1 on the electron blocking layer to a thickness of 200 Å to form a light emitting layer. The Compound 1 prepared in Example 1 above was vacuum deposited on the light emitting layer to a thickness of 50 Å to form a hole blocking layer. The following compound ET1 and the following compound LiQ were vacuum deposited at a ratio of 1:1 on the hole blocking layer to a thickness of 310 Å to form an electron injection and transport layer. Lithium fluoride (LiF) and aluminum were sequentially deposited to have a thickness of 12 Å and 1,000 Å, respectively, on the electron injection and transport layer, thereby forming a cathode.







In the above-mentioned process, the vapor deposition rate of the organic material was maintained at 0.4 to 0.7 Å/sec, the deposition rates of lithium fluoride and aluminum of the cathode were maintained at 0.3 Å/sec and at 2 Å/sec, respectively, and the degree of vacuum during the deposition was maintained at 2×10−7 to 5×10−6 torr, thereby manufacturing an organic light emitting device.
