(119) Hereinafter, the luminous efficiency and lifetime properties of an OLED according to the present disclosure will be explained in detail. However, the following examples merely illustrate the properties of an OLED according to the present disclosure in detail, but the present disclosure is not limited to the following examples.

DEVICE EXAMPLES 1-1 TO 1-3: PRODUCING AN OLED CO-DEPOSITED WITH A FIRST HOST COMPOUND AND A SECOND HOST COMPOUND ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT DISCLOSURE

(120) An OLED according to the present disclosure was produced as follows: A transparent electrode indium tin oxide (ITO) thin film (10 Ω/sq) on a glass substrate for an OLED (GEOMATEC CO., LTD., Japan) was subjected to an ultrasonic washing with acetone and isopropyl alcohol, sequentially, and then was stored in isopropanol. The ITO substrate was mounted on a substrate holder of a vacuum vapor deposition apparatus. Compound HI-1 shown in Table 3 below as a first hole injection compound was introduced into a cell of the vacuum vapor deposition apparatus, and compound HT-1 shown in Table 3 below as a first hole transport compound was introduced into another cell of the vacuum vapor deposition apparatus. The two materials were evaporated at different rates to be deposited in a doping amount of the first hole injection compound of 3 wt % based on the total amount of the first hole injection compound and the first hole transport compound to form a first hole injection layer having a thickness of 10 nm on the ITO substrate. Next, compound HT-1 was deposited as a first hole transport layer having a thickness of 80 nm on the first hole injection layer. Compound HT-2 was then introduced into another cell of the vacuum vapor deposition apparatus and was evaporated by applying an electric current to the cell, thereby forming a second hole transport layer having a thickness of 60 nm on the first hole transport layer. After forming the hole injection layer and the hole transport layers, a light-emitting layer was formed thereon as follows: The first host compound and the second host compound shown in Table 1 below were introduced into two cells of the vacuum vapor depositing apparatus, respectively, as hosts, and compound 0-39 was introduced into another cell as a dopant. The two host materials were evaporated at a rate of 1:1, and at the same time the dopant material was evaporated at different rates to be deposited in a doping amount of 3 wt % based on the total amount of the hosts and dopant to form a light-emitting layer having a thickness of 40 nm on the second hole transport layer. Next, compound ET-1 and compound EI-1 as electron transport materials were deposited at a weight ratio of 50:50 on the light-emitting layer to form an electron transport layer having a thickness of 35 nm. After depositing compound EI-1 as an electron injection layer having a thickness of 2 nm on the electron transport layer, an Al cathode having a thickness of 80 nm was deposited on the electron injection layer by another vacuum vapor deposition apparatus. Thus, an OLED was produced. All the materials used for producing the OLED were purified by vacuum sublimation at 10.sup.−6 torr.

DEVICE EXAMPLES 2-1 TO 2-3: PRODUCING AN OLED ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT DISCLOSURE

(126) An OLED was produced in the same manner as in Device Example 1-1, except that a light-emitting layer was formed as follows: The compound shown in Table 2 below as a host was introduced into a cell of the vacuum vapor deposition apparatus, and compound D-39 was introduced into another cell of the vacuum vapor deposition apparatus as a dopant. The two materials were evaporated at different rates to be deposited in a doping amount of the dopant of 3 wt % based on the total amount of the host and the dopant to form a light-emitting layer having a thickness of 40 nm on the second hole transport layer.
