Materials which may be included in the hole transport region HTR may be utilized as materials which may be included in the hole buffer layer. The electron blocking layer EBL is a layer that serves to prevent or substantially prevent electrons from being injected from the electron transport region ETR to the hole transport region HTR.

The emission layer EML may have a single layer formed of a single material, a single layer formed of a plurality of different materials, or a multilayer structure having a plurality of layers formed of a plurality of different materials. 
     In addition, the emission layer EML of the organic electroluminescence device  10  may emit blue light. For example, the emission layer EML of the organic electroluminescence device  10  may emit blue light in a region (e.g., wavelength region) of 490 nm or more. However, the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto, and the emission layer EML may emit green light or red light. 
     In an embodiment, the organic electroluminescence device  10  of an embodiment may include a plurality of emission layers. The plurality of emission layers may be sequentially stacked, for example, the organic electroluminescence device  10  including the plurality of emission layers may emit white light.

     In an embodiment, the emission layer EML may be a delayed fluorescence emission layer, a fluorescence emission layer, a phosphorescent emission layer, etc., and the emission layer EML may include suitable (e.g., known) host materials and dopants.

     Referring to the results of Table 1, Examples 1 to 7 of the organic electroluminescence devices each utilizing the amine compound according to an embodiment of the present disclosure as a hole transport layer material emit the same blue light as Comparative Examples 1 to 4, yet each having a lower driving voltage value, relatively higher luminance, higher luminous efficiency, and higher external quantum efficiency. In terms of the Example Compounds, as an arylamine-based hole transport material, the amine compound of the Examples has a high stability due to the tetraphenylethenyl group substituted in the amine group. Accordingly, compared with the Comparative Example Compounds, each of the Example Compounds may have a high hole transport property, and thus the organic electroluminescence devices of each of the Examples may have improved luminous efficiency and a long life as compared to the organic electroluminescence devices of the Comparative Examples. In particular, the organic electroluminescence device of an embodiment includes the amine compound of an embodiment as a hole transport material to achieve high luminous efficiency and a long life in the blue light wavelength region. 
     Comparative Example Compound C1 includes a diamine compound and does not include a tetraphenylethenyl group substituted in an amine group, thereby having reduced stability and hole transporting properties when compared to the amine compounds of the Examples, and accordingly, it is confirmed that the device of Comparative Example 1 has reduced luminous efficiency and lifetime, and a higher driving voltage when compared to the devices of the Examples. Comparative Example Compounds C2 and C4 each include a tetraphenylethenyl group-like structure substituted with an amine group, but have a form in which the tetraphenylethenyl group forms an additional ring, thereby having reduced stability and hole transport properties when compared to the amine compounds of the Examples, and thus, it is confirmed that the devices of Comparative Examples 2 and 4 have reduced luminous efficiency and lifetime, and higher driving voltage when compared to the devices of the Examples. Comparative Example Compound C3 includes a tetraphenylethenyl group substituted in an amine group, but is a diamine compound, thereby having reduced hole transport properties when compared to the Example Compounds, and thus it is confirmed that the device of Comparative Example 3 has reduced luminous efficiency and lifetime, and higher driving voltage when compared to the devices of the Examples. 
     An organic electroluminescence device of an embodiment may have improved device characteristics such as a low driving voltage, high efficiency, and a long life. 
     An amine compound of an embodiment may be included in a hole transport region of an organic electroluminescence device, thereby contributing to high efficiency and a long life of the organic electroluminescence device. 
     Expressions such as “at least one of” or “at least one selected from” when preceding a list of elements, modify the entire list of elements and do not modify the individual elements of the list. Further, the use of “may” when describing embodiments of the present invention refers to “one or more embodiments of the present invention.” Also, the term “exemplary” is intended to refer to an example or illustration. As used herein, the term “substantially,” “about,” and similar terms are used as terms of approximation and not as terms of degree, and are intended to account for the inherent deviations in measured or calculated values that would be recognized by those of ordinary skill in the art. Moreover, any numerical range recited herein is intended to include all sub-ranges of the same numerical precision subsumed within the recited range. For example, a range of “1.0 to 10.0” is intended to include all subranges between (and including) the recited minimum value of 1.0 and the recited maximum value of 10.0, that is, having a minimum value equal to or greater than 1.0 and a maximum value equal to or less than 10.0, such as, for example, 2.4 to 7.6. Any maximum numerical limitation recited herein is intended to include all lower numerical limitations subsumed therein and any minimum numerical limitation recited in this specification is intended to include all higher numerical limitations subsumed therein. Accordingly, Applicant reserves the right to amend this specification, including the claims, to expressly recite any sub-range subsumed within the ranges expressly recited herein. All such ranges are intended to be inherently described in this specification such that amending to expressly recite any such subranges would comply with the requirements of 35 U.S.C. § 112(a), and 35 U.S.C. § 132(a). 
     Although the present disclosure has been described with reference to preferred embodiments of the present disclosure, it will be understood that the present disclosure should not be limited to these preferred embodiments but various suitable changes and modifications can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. 
     Accordingly, the technical scope of the present disclosure is not intended to be limited to the contents set forth in the detailed description of the specification, but is intended to be defined by the appended claims, and equivalents thereof.
