     BACKGROUND 
     1. Field 
     One or more aspects of embodiments of the present disclosure herein relate to an organic electroluminescence device and an amine compound used therein. 
     2. Description of the Related Art 
     The development of an organic electroluminescence device (e.g., organic electroluminescence display) as an image display apparatus is being actively conducted. The organic electroluminescence device is a self-luminescent display apparatus, in which holes and electrons injected from a first electrode and a second electrode, respectively, recombine in an emission layer to generate excitons, and these excitons fall to the ground state to emit light, thereby implementing display of images. 
     Meanwhile, in the development of materials for a hole transport region, although the development of an amine compound continues, there is a demand (or desire) for the development of a highly efficient and long-life amine compound and an organic electroluminescence device including the same.

     In the organic electroluminescence device  10 , as voltage is applied to each of the first electrode EL 1  and the second electrode EL 2 , holes injected from the first electrode EL 1  move through the hole transport region HTR to the emission layer EML, and electrons injected from the second electrode EL 2  move through the electron transport region ETR to the emission layer EML. The electrons and holes recombine in the emission layer EML to form excitons, and these excitons fall from the excited state to the ground state to emit light. 
     In the organic electroluminescence device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, as an amine compound included in the hole transport region HTR includes a carbazole group substituted to a central nitrogen atom of the amine compound, and dibenzoselenophene substituted to the central nitrogen atom, glass transition temperature (Tg) and melting point of the amine compound may increase due to a condensed polycyclic ring structure substituted to the central nitrogen atom. Accordingly, heat resistance and durability against heat generated when the organic electroluminescence device emits light are improved, thereby achieving improved light emission efficiency characteristics at a lower driving voltage, compared to a case of using an amine compound containing no condensed polycyclic ring in the emission layer. 
     In particular, the organic electroluminescence device of an embodiment that includes the amine compound in the hole transport layer, the amine compound including a central nitrogen atom, a carbazole group substituted to the central nitrogen atom, and a dibenzoselenophene group substituted to the central nitrogen atom, and including a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group or a substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl group on the nitrogen atom of the carbazole group, may attain improved heat resistance and durability due to the condensed polycyclic ring structure of the amine compound. Accordingly, the amine compound of an embodiment may be used to improve life characteristics of the organic electroluminescence device. 
     Hereinafter, with reference to Examples and Comparative Examples, an amine compound according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and an organic electroluminescence device of an embodiment using the amine compound will be described in more detail.

     (Manufacture of Organic Electroluminescence Device) 
     Organic electroluminescence devices of an embodiment, each including the amine compound of an embodiment in a hole transport region, and organic electroluminescence devices, each including a comparative example compound in a hole transport region, were manufactured as follows. 
     For an anode, an ITO glass substrate (Corning, 15 Ω/cm2 (1200 Å)) was cut to a size of about 50 mm×50 mm×0.7 mm, and the cut ITO glass substrates were washed by ultrasonic waves using isopropyl alcohol and distilled water for about 5 minutes respectively, irradiated with ultraviolet rays for about 30 minutes, cleansed by exposing to ozone, and then installed in a vacuum deposition apparatus. 
     2-TNATA was vacuum-deposited on the ITO glass substrate to forma hole injection layer having a thickness of about 600 Å, and then a Comparative Example Compound or an Example Compound was vacuum-deposited to a thickness of about 300 Å on the hole injection layer to form a hole transport layer. 
     On the hole transport layer, 9,10-di (naphthalen-2-yl) anthracene (hereinafter referred to as DNA) as a blue fluorescent host and 4,4′-bis [2-(4-(N, N-diphenylamino)phenyl)vinyl] biphenyl (hereinafter referred to as DPAVBi) as a blue fluorescent dopant were co-deposited at a weight ratio of 98:2 to form an emission layer having a thickness of about 300 Å. 
     Thereafter, Alq 3  was deposited to a thickness of about 300 Å on the emission layer to form an electron transport layer, LiF (an alkali metal halide) was deposited to a thickness of about 10 Å to form an electron injection layer, and Al was vacuum-deposited to a thickness of about 3000 Å to form a LiF/A cathode electrode, thus manufacturing an organic electroluminescence device. 
     The materials of each layer used in the manufacture of the organic electroluminescence devices are as follows.

     Examples 1 to 23 are light emitting devices in which Compounds 1, 2, 3, 11, 15, 21, 77, 78, 87, 91, 97, 153, 154, 155, 163, 167, 173, 229, 230, 231, 239, 243, and 249 are applied to a hole transport layer. Comparative Examples 1 to 7 are light emitting devices in which Comparative Examples Compounds c1 to c7 are applied to a hole transport layer. Referring to the results of Table 2 above, it is seen that the light emitting devices of Examples 1 to 23 have a low driving voltage, improved luminance and efficiency, and an improved lifetime compared to Comparative Examples 1 to 7. 
     In Examples 1 to 23, the amine compound includes a condensed polycyclic ring containing a hetero atom (more specifically, a carbazole group, a dibenzoselenophene group, and an aryl group or a heteroaryl group substituted on a central nitrogen atom), and further includes an aryl group or a heteroaryl group substituted to a nitrogen atom of the carbazole group. 
     In addition, in the amine compound of the present embodiments, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group or a substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl group may be linked between the central nitrogen atom and the substituents by a linker to allow the amine compound including a plurality of condensed polycyclic rings to have improved heat resistance and durability against heat. Accordingly, the organic electroluminescence device including the amine compound containing a condensed polycyclic ring (such as a carbazole group and a dibenzoselenophene group of Examples 1 to 23) in the hole transport region may have high efficiency and long-life characteristics. 
     Comparative Example Compounds c1 to c6 include a central nitrogen atom, a carbazole group substituted to the central nitrogen atom, and an aryl group or heteroaryl group substituted to the central nitrogen atom, but instead of a dibenzoselenophene group, have a dibenzofuran group, a dibenzothiophenyl group, or a carbazole group linked to the central nitrogen atom. Accordingly, Comparative Examples 1 to 6, which include Comparative Example Compounds c1 to c6 in the hole transport layer have an increased driving voltage and decreased light emission efficiency and device life as compared with most of Examples 1 to 23. 
     Comparative Example Compound c7 includes a central nitrogen atom, a carbazole group substituted to the central nitrogen atom, a phenyl group substituted to the central nitrogen atom, and a dibenzoselenophene group substituted to the central nitrogen atom. However, in Comparative Example Compound c7, a methyl group is substituted to a nitrogen atom of the carbazole group instead of an aryl group or a heteroaryl group. Accordingly, Comparative Example 7 including Comparative Example Compound c7 in the emission layer has reduced light emission efficiency and device life as compared with Examples 1 to 23. 
     It is believed, therefore, that the organic light emitting device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure that includes a central nitrogen atom, a carbazole group substituted to the central nitrogen atom, a dibenzoselenophene group substituted to the central nitrogen atom, and an aryl group or a heteroaryl group substituted to the central nitrogen atom, and an aryl group or a heteroaryl group substituted to a nitrogen atom of the carbazole group may obtain improved life and efficiency characteristics due to a stable structure having improved heat resistance and durability. 
     An organic electroluminescence device of an embodiment may have high efficiency and increased lifetime characteristics. 
     An amine compound of an embodiment may be applied to a hole transport region of an organic electroluminescence device to contribute to allowing the organic electroluminescence device to have high efficiency and long-life.
