The present invention relates to compounds that include a nitrogen heteroatom, including a compound of the formula (I). Also provided herein is an organic electronic device comprising the compound and a display device or lighting device comprising the organic electronic device.

Provided are an electroluminescent compound having a structure represented by Formula I, a thermally activated delayed fluorescence material and an application thereof. The electroluminescent compound has TADF characteristics and may be applied to a light emitting layer of an OLED device as a thermally activated delayed fluorescence material. The OLED device includes an anode, a cathode, and at least one organic thin film layer comprising the thermally activated delayed fluorescence material in a light emitting layer between the anode and the cathode. The electroluminescent compound effectively reduces the overlap between HOMO and LUMO through special molecular structure design, so that ΔE.sub.ST is reduced to less than 0.25 eV, which satisfies reverse crossing of energy from a triplet state to a singlet state, effectively improves transmission capacities of two kinds of carriers, improves carrier balance, and thus significantly improves light emitting efficiency of the OLED device.

The present invention provides a pyrromethene boron complex represented by the general formula (1), a light emitting element material having high luminance efficiency, and a light emitting element:
