Korean Patent Application No. 10-2018-Q164302, filed on Dec. 18, 2018, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, and entitled: “Organic Light-Emitting Device Including Heterocyclic Compound with Boron and Nitrogen,” is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
Embodiments relate to a heterocyclic compound that includes boron and nitrogen, and a light-emitting device including the heterocyclic compound.
Organic light-emitting devices are self-emission devices that have wide viewing angles, high contrast ratios, short response times, and excellent characteristics in terms of brightness, driving voltage, and response speed, compared to devices in the art.
An example of such organic light-emitting devices may include a first electrode disposed on a substrate, and a hole transport region, an emission layer, an electron transport region, and a second electrode, which are sequentially disposed on the first electrode. Holes provided from the first electrode may move toward the emission layer through the hole transport region, and electrons provided from the second electrode may move toward the emission layer through the electron transport region. Carriers, such as holes and electrons, recombine in the emission layer to produce excitons. These excitons transit from an excited state to a ground state, thereby generating light.
