     &lt;1. Configuration of Material for Organic Electroluminescent Device&gt; 
     Materials for an organic electroluminescent device according to an embodiment may help improve the emission life of an organic electroluminescent device. For example, when using the material for an organic electroluminescent device according to an embodiment as a hole transport material, the emission life of the organic electroluminescent device may be improved. Here, the configuration of the material for an organic electroluminescent device according to an embodiment will be explained. The material for an organic electroluminescent device according to an embodiment of may include, e.g., a monoamine compound represented by the following Formula 1. 
     
       
         
         
             
             
         
       
     
     In Formula 1, Ar 1  may be or include a moiety represented by the following Formula 2.
 
—(Ar 2 ) l —(Ar 3 ) m —Ar 4   [Formula 2]
 
     In Formula 2, Ar 2 , Ar 3  and Ar 4  may each independently be or include, e.g., a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group having 6 to 50 ring carbon atoms. l and m are integers, and l+m may be an integer of 0 to 2. 
     In an implementation, Ar 1  may be obtained by combining or condensing three substituted or unsubstituted phenyl groups. For example, Ar 1  may include three substituted or unsubstituted phenyl groups connected by a single bond (as in a terphenyl group), may include three fused substituted or unsubstituted phenyl groups (as in an anthracenyl group), or a combination thereof (as in a phenyl group singly bonded to a naphthyl group). For example, Ar 1  may include a phenyl group, a biphenyl group, a terphenyl group, a naphthyl group, an anthryl group, a phenanthryl group, a naphthalenylphenyl group, a fluorenyl group, an indenyl group, a pyrenyl group, a fluoranthenyl group, a triphenylnenyl group, or the like. In an implementation, Ar 1  may include the phenyl group, the biphenyl group, the terphenyl group (e.g., a p-terphenyl group), the naphthyl group, the phenanthryl group, the naphthalenylphenyl group, and/or the triphenylenyl group. 
     The aryl group of Ar 1  may be substituted. In an implementation, the substituents may include an alkyl group (e.g., a methyl group, an ethyl group, etc.), an alkenyl group (e.g., a vinyl group, an allyl group, etc.), a halogen atom (e.g., a fluorine atom, a chlorine atom, etc.), a silyl group (e.g., a trimethylsilyl group), a cyano group, an alkoxy group (e.g., a methoxy group, a butoxy group, an octoxy group), a nitro group, a hydroxyl group, a thiol group, or the like, e.g., other than the aryl group. In an implementation, the substituent may include a functional group other than the vinyl group, the indolyl group, and the triphenylenyl group, in consideration of thermal stability. In an implementation, the substituents may further be substituted with the same types of substituents. 
     In an implementation, in a case in which Ar 1  includes a phenanthrenyl group, the glass transition temperature may be unusually high for the molecular weight of the monoamine compound. Thus, the thermal stability of the molecule thereof may be increased, and a layer quality may be improved. Therefore, in the case that Ar 1  includes the phenanthrenyl group, the emission life of the organic electroluminescent device may be largely improved. In an implementation, a phenanthrenyl group may form an aromatic ring with other atoms (e.g., a heteroatom such as a nitrogen atom). 
     In an implementation, in a case in which Ar 1  does not include the phenanthrenyl group, the emission life may still be increased. For example, in the case that the emission life may be increased even when Ar 1  is a substituent obtained by combining or condensing three phenyl groups (a terphenyl group, a naphthalenylphenyl group, etc.). In 3-substituted dibenzofuran which is the essential structure of the monoamine compound, m position of a heteroatom of oxygen may be combined with or bound to nitrogen. Thus, even if Ar 1  does not include the phenanthrenyl group, the emission life may still be increased. 
     In Formula 1, R 1  and R 2  may each independently be or include, e.g., a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom (e.g., a fluorine atom, a chlorine atom, etc.), an alkyl group having 1 to 15 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group having 6 to 30 ring carbon atoms, or a substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl group having 1 to 30 ring carbon atoms. 
     The alkyl group having 1 to 15 carbon atoms may be, e.g., a linear type (e.g., a methyl group, an ethyl group, a propyl group, a butyl group, an octyl group, a decyl group, a pentadecyl group, etc.) or a branched type (e.g., a t-butyl group, etc.). 
     The aryl group having 6 to 30 ring carbon atoms may include an aryl group having 6 to 30 ring carbon atoms among the above-described aryl groups. The heteroaryl group having 1 to 30 ring carbon atoms may include a heteroaryl group having 4 to 30 ring carbon atoms among the above-described heteroaryl groups. In an implementation, the heteroaryl group may include, e.g., a tetrazolyl group, an imidazolyl group, a pyrazolyl group, an oxazolyl group, an isooxazolyl group, a thiazolyl group, an isothiazolyl group, or the like. The substituent of the aryl group and the heteroaryl group may be the same as the above-described substituent of the aryl group and the heteroaryl group of Ar 1 . 
     In an implementation, as shown in Formula 1, at least one of the dibenzofuranyl groups making a direct linkage with the central nitrogen atom of the monoamine may be combined with or bound to the nitrogen atom at position 3 of the dibenzofuranyl group. In an implementation, all (e.g., both) dibenzofuranyl groups making a direct linkage with the nitrogen atom may be combined with or bound to the nitrogen atom at position 3. In this case, the emission life of the organic electroluminescent device may be further improved. 
     The material for an organic electroluminescent device according to an embodiment may be included in at least one of a hole transport layer and an emission layer, among layers constituting an organic electroluminescent device. In an implementation, the material for an organic electroluminescent device may be included in the hole transport layer. 
     The organic electroluminescent device using or including the material for an organic electroluminescent device having the above-mentioned configuration may exhibit improved emission life, as described in the following embodiments. In an implementation, the compound represented by Formula 1 may include one of the following compounds.

In addition, the electroluminescent properties of the organic EL device  100  thus manufactured were evaluated using C9920-11 brightness light distribution characteristics measurement system of HAMAMATSU Photonics Co. In addition, current density was measured at 10 mA/cm 2 , and half-life was measured at 1,000 cd/m 2 . The results are shown in Table 1. 
     According to Table 1, the life was improved for Examples 1 to 4 when compared to that of Comparative Examples 1 to 3. Particularly, the life was more improved for Examples 1, 3 and 4 when compared to that of Comparative Example 3. It would be found that a structure including an aryl group in which three phenyl groups were combined and condensed exhibited improved effects of the life. When comparing Examples 1 and 2, all properties of Example 1 were better than those of Example 2. In addition, When comparing Example 3 and Comparative Example 1, the emission life of Example 3 was improved greatly than Comparative Example 1. Thus, it would be preferable that all dibenzofuranyl groups were combined with a nitrogen atom at position 3. In exemplary embodiments, the emission life of the organic electroluminescent device was largely improved specifically in a blue region. In addition, since a compound group according to exemplary embodiments has a wide energy gap which may correspond to a blue region, application from a green region to a red region may be possible. 
     By way of summation and review, in an organic electroluminescent device, holes and electrons injected from the anode and the cathode may recombine in the emission layer to generate excitons, and light may be emitted via the transition of the excitons to a ground state. As a hole transport material used in the hole transport layer, e.g., a monoamine compound including a dibenzofuranyl group may be used. 
     An organic electroluminescent device including some monoamine compounds as a hole transport material may not provide satisfactory values concerning emission life. For example, a monoamine compound derivative may not provide satisfactory values of the emission life of the organic electroluminescent device. 
     The embodiments may provide a material for an organic electroluminescent device which may help improve the emission life of an organic electroluminescent device. 
     According to an embodiment, the emission life of the organic electroluminescent device may be improved. 
     As described above, the material for an organic electroluminescent device according to an embodiment may have the configuration of Formula 1, and the emission life of the organic electroluminescent device using the same may be largely improved. Thus, the material for an organic electroluminescent device according to exemplary embodiments may be practically used in various areas.
