DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout the specification. In this regard, the present embodiments may have different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the descriptions set forth herein. Accordingly, the embodiments are merely described below, by referring to the figures, to explain aspects. As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. Expressions such as “at least one of,” when preceding a list of elements, modify the entire list of elements and do not modify the individual elements of the list.

[0042] It will be understood that when an element is referred to as being “on” another element, it can be directly on the other element or intervening elements may be present therebetween In contrast, when an element is referred to as being “directly on” another element, there are no intervening elements present

[0043] It will be understood that, although the terms “first,” “second,” “third” etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers and/or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers and/or sections should not be limited by these terms These terms are only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer or section from another element, component, region, layer or section Thus, “a first element,” “component,” “region,” “layer” or “section” discussed below could be termed a second element, component, region, layer or section without departing from the teachings herein.

[0044] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. As used herein, “a,” “an,” “the,” and “at least one” do not denote a limitation of quantity, and are intended to cover both the singular and plural, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. For example, “an element” has the same meaning as “at least one element,” unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0045] “Or” means “and/or.” As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items It will be further understood that the terms “comprises” and/or “comprising,” or “includes” and/or “including” when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, regions, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, regions, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof.

[0046] Furthermore, relative terms, such as “lower” or “bottom” and “upper” or “top,” may be used herein to describe one element's relationship to another element as illustrated in the Figures It will be understood that relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in addition to the orientation depicted in the Figures For example, if the device in one of the figures is turned over, elements described as being on the “lower” side of other elements would then be oriented on “upper” sides of the other elements The exemplary term “lower,” can therefore, encompasses both an orientation of “lower” and “upper,” depending on the particular orientation of the figure Similarly, if the device in one of the figures is turned over, elements described as “below” or “beneath” other elements would then be oriented “above” the other elements The exemplary terms “below” or “beneath” can, therefore, encompass both an orientation of above and below.

[0047] “About” or “approximately” as used herein is inclusive of the stated value and means within an acceptable range of deviation for the particular value as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art, considering the measurement in question and the error associated with measurement of the particular quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system). For example, “about” can mean within one or more standard deviations, or within ±30%, 20%, 10% or 5% of the stated value.

[0048] Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs It will be further understood that terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and the present disclosure, and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly so defined herein.

[0049] Exemplary embodiments are described herein with reference to cross section illustrations that are schematic illustrations of idealized embodiments As such, variations from the shapes of the illustrations as a result, for example, of manufacturing techniques and/or tolerances, are to be expected Thus, embodiments described herein should not be construed as limited to the particular shapes of regions as illustrated herein but are to include deviations in shapes that result, for example, from manufacturing. For example, a region illustrated or described as flat may, typically, have rough and/or nonlinear features Moreover, sharp angles that are illustrated may be rounded Thus, the regions illustrated in the figures are schematic in nature and their shapes are not intended to illustrate the precise shape of a region and are not intended to limit the scope of the present claims.

[0171] The condensed cyclic compound represented by Formula 1-1 or 1-2 of the present disclosure has a nitrogen atom (N) having an electron-donating property and a boron atom (B) having an electron-accepting property. In this regard, the multiple resonance between the atoms may be further activated so that the compound may have a structure in which the delocalization of electrons in the molecule is expanded. Also, in addition to such an electronic effect by the arrangement, the compound is also structurally stable so that the molecular structure change between the ground state (S.sub.0) and the first excited singlet state (S.sub.1), which causes broadening of the emission spectrum, may be suppressed. As a result, the condensed cyclic compound may emit light having high color purity with a narrow spectrum, in particular, blue light emission having high purity with a narrow spectrum.

[0172] In addition, the condensed cyclic compound may include at least one partial structure represented by Formula 2-1 or 2-2. Accordingly, the electronic effect by the arrangement also contributes to further increasing the oscillator strength (f) (hereinafter, also referred to as “oscillator strength f”) of the stable structure in the first excited singlet state (S.sub.1), which is an index of fluorescence strength, thereby realizing sufficient luminescence efficiency along with high color purity.

[0173] Therefore, a light-emitting device, e.g., an organic light-emitting device, using the condensed cyclic compound represented by Formula 1-1 or 1-2 may have a low driving voltage, high maximum quantum efficiency, high efficiency, and a long lifespan.

[0174] Synthesis methods of the condensed cyclic compound represented by Formula 1-1 or 1-2 may be recognized by one of ordinary skill in the art by referring to Examples provided below.

[0175] At least one organometallic compound represented by Formula 1-1 or 1-2 may be used in a light-emitting device (for example, an organic light-emitting device).

[0176] An aspect of the present disclosure provides a composition including at least one condensed cyclic compound.

[0177] In an embodiment, the composition may further include a solvent.

[0178] In an embodiment, the solvent may have a boiling point of 100° C. or more and 350° C. or less at atmospheric pressure (101.3 kPa, 1 atm).

[0179] In an embodiment, the boiling point of the solvent at atmospheric pressure may be 150° C. or more and 320° C. or less, for example, 180° C. or more and 300° C. or less.

[0180] When the boiling point of the solvent at atmospheric pressure is within these ranges, a wet film-forming method, particularly in terms of film formability or processability in the inkjet method, may be improved.

[0181] The solvent having a boiling point of 100° C. or more and 350° C. or less is not particularly limited, and any well-known solvent may be used suitably. A list of solvents having a boiling point of 100° C. or more and 350° C. or less at atmospheric pressure is provided below, but embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.

[0182] Examples of a hydrocarbon-based solvent are octane, nonane, decane, undecane dodecane, and the like. Examples of an aromatic hydrocarbon-based solvent are toluene, xylene, ethylbenzene, n-propylbenzene, iso-propylbenzene (1-butylbenzoate), and the like. Examples of a nitrile-based solvent are benzonitrile, 3-methylbenzonitrile, and the like. Examples of an amide-based solvent are dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, and the like. These solvents may be used alone or in combination of two or more types.

[0183] Another aspect of the present disclosure provides a light-emitting device including: a first electrode; a second electrode facing the first electrode; an interlayer arranged between the first electrode and the second electrode and including an emission layer; and at least one condensed cyclic compound.

[0184] In an embodiment, the first electrode may be an anode, the second electrode may be a cathode, and the interlayer may further include a hole transport region between the first electrode and the emission layer and an electron transport region between the emission layer and the second electrode, wherein the hole transport region may include a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an emission auxiliary layer, an electron blocking layer, or any combination thereof, and the electron transport region may include a hole blocking layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, or any combination thereof.

[0185] In an embodiment, the emission layer may include the at least one condensed cyclic compound.

[0186] In an embodiment, the emission layer may include a host and a dopant,

[0187] wherein the host and the dopant may be different from each other,

[0188] an amount of the host may be greater than that of the dopant, and

[0189] the dopant may include the at least one condensed cyclic compound.

[0190] In an embodiment, the emission layer may further include a sensitizer.

[0191] In an embodiment, the sensitizer may be an organometallic compound. For example, the sensitizer may be an organometallic compound including Pt as a central metal, but is not limited thereto. More details for the sensitizer are the same as described herein.

[0192] In an embodiment, the emission layer may further include a host and a light-emitting dopant, and the at least one condensed cyclic compound may be a sensitizer. Here, the amount of the host in the emission layer may be greater than the total amount of the light-emitting dopant and the sensitizer. The host will be described in detail. When the condensed cyclic compound is used as a sensitizer, the energy transferred to the triplet may cross inversely to the singlet, and then the singlet energy of the condensed cyclic compound may be transferred to the dopant through the Förster energy transfer. Accordingly, the efficiency and lifespan of an organic light-emitting device may be improved at the same time.

[0193] In an embodiment, the emission layer may emit blue light or blue-green light.

[0194] In an embodiment, the emission layer may emit light having a maximum emission wavelength in a range of about 400 nm to about 500 nm.

[0195] The expression “(an interlayer) includes at least one condensed-cyclic compound” as used herein may include a case in which “(an interlayer) includes identical condensed cyclic compounds represented by Formula 1-1 or 1-2 or a case in which “(an interlayer) includes two or more different condensed cyclic compounds represented by Formula 1-1 or 1-2”.

[0196] For example, the interlayer may include, as the condensed cyclic compound, only Compound 1. In this embodiment, Compound 1 may be included in the emission layer of the organic light-emitting device. In one or more embodiments, the interlayer may include, as the condensed cyclic compound, Compound 1 and Compound 2. In this regard, Compound 1 and Compound 2 may exist in an identical layer (for example, Compound 1 and Compound 2 may all exist in the emission layer), or may exist in different layers (for example, Compound 1 may exist in the emission layer and Compound 2 may exist in the electron transport region).

[0197] The term “interlayer” as used herein refers to a single layer and/or all of a plurality of layers arranged between the first electrode and the second electrode of the light-emitting device.

[0517] (Calculation by Density Functional Theory (DFT))

[0518] The following calculations were performed according to the DFT for the following condensed cyclic compounds R1 to R3.

##STR02116##

[0519] The ground state energy [E(S.sub.0@S.sub.1)] (eV) of the compound having a stable structure in a lowest excited singlet state and the ground state energy [E(S.sub.0@S.sub.0)] (eV) of the compound having a stable structure in a ground state were calculated, and the reorganization energy (E.sub.R) corresponding to the difference between the two energy values, that is, [E(S.sub.0@S.sub.1)]−[E(S.sub.0@S.sub.0)], was calculated.

[0520] In addition, the lowest excited singlet state energy [E(S.sub.1@S.sub.1)] of the compound having a stable structure in a lowest excited singlet state and the ground state energy [E(S.sub.0@S.sub.0)] of the compound having a stable structure in a ground were calculated, and the adiabatic lowest excited singlet state energy corresponding to the difference between the two energy values, that is, [E(S.sub.1@S.sub.1)]−[E(S.sub.0@S.sub.0)], was calculated.

[0521] Then, the fluorescence wavelength (nm) obtained by converting the adiabatic lowest excited singlet state energy (eV) into the light wavelength (nm) was calculated.

[0522] In addition, the oscillator strength (f) of the compound having a stable structure in a lowest excited singlet state was calculated.

[0523] Also, the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy of the compound were calculated.

[0524] Here, the calculation by DFT was performed according to the following calculation methods (I), (II), and (III) using a calculation software, Gaussian 16 (Gaussian Inc.):

[0525] (I) S.sub.0 calculation method: structural optimization calculation by DFT using functional B3LYP basis function 6-31G (d, p) with toluene solvent effects (obtained by PCM);

[0526] (II) S.sub.1 calculation method: structural optimization calculation by time-dependent DFT (TDDFT) using functional B3LYP basis function 6-31G (d, p) with toluene solvent effects (obtained by PCM); and

[0527] (III) S.sub.0 calculation method: calculation of input structure by DFT using functional B3LYP basis function 6-31G (d, p) with toluene solvent effects (obtained by PCM).

[0528] In particular, calculation of each item was performed using the following calculation methods:

[0529] Ground state energy [E(S.sub.0@S.sub.0)] of compound having stable structure in ground state: see calculation method (1) above;

[0530] Lowest excited singlet state energy [E(S.sub.1@S.sub.1)] of compound having stable structure in first excited singlet state: see calculation method (II) above;

[0531] Ground state energy [E(S.sub.0@S.sub.1)] of compound having stable structure in first excited singlet state: see calculation methods (II) and (III) above;

[0532] Reorganization energy ([E(S.sub.0@S.sub.1)]− [E(S.sub.0@S.sub.0)]: see calculation methods (I), (II), and (III) above;

[0533] Adiabatic lowest excited singlet state energy ([E(S.sub.1@S.sub.1)]− [E(S.sub.0@S.sub.0)]: see calculation methods (I) and (II) above;

[0534] Fluorescence wavelength (nm): see calculation methods (I) and (II) above;

[0535] Oscillator strength (f) of compound having stable structure in first excited singlet state: see calculation method (II) above; and

[0536] HOMO and LUMO: see calculation method (1) above.

[0537] The calculated values according to the calculation methods above are shown in Table 9 below, and a qualitative description of the energy relationship is explained in FIG. 4.

Measurement of Fluorescence Spectrum Width (FWHM)

[0538] Measurements were carried out at room temperature with an excitation wavelength of 320 nm for each of 1×10.sup.−5 M (=mol/dm.sup.3, mol/L) toluene solutions of the condensed cyclic compounds R1 to R3 by using a spectrofluorophotometer F7000 manufactured by Hitachi High Technology. As a result, the fluorescence peak wavelength (nm) and the fluorescence spectrum width (FWHM) of photoluminescence (PL) were evaluated, and the evaluation results are shown in Table 2 below.

TABLE-US-00002 TABLE 2 DFT calculation Adiabatic lowest Experimental excited measurement singlet Fluorescence Fluorescence state (S.sub.1) Fluorescence peak spectrum energy wavelength Oscillator Reorganization wavelength width\ Compound HOMO(eV) LUMO(eV) (eV) (nm) strength f energy (eV) (nm) of PL (FWHM) R1 −4.88 −1.23 2.99 415 0.214 0.109 453 22 R2 −5.94 −2.36 2.96 419 0.161 0.132 451 26 R3 −5.02 −1.96 2.62 474 0.491 0.164 445 42

[0539] From Table 2, it was confirmed that the color of the fluorescence wavelength (nm) calculated by the DFT calculation corresponded to the peak wavelength experimentally measured. Therefore, it was accordingly confirmed that the color estimated by the DFT calculation was the same color as the actual color.

[0540] In this regard, FIG. 5 shows a graph showing the reorganization energy (eV) calculated by the fluorescence FWHM-DFT of PL that was experimentally measured from the condensed cyclic compounds R1 to R3. Referring to FIG. 5, it was confirmed that, regarding the reorganization energy (eV) calculated by DFT and the fluorescence FWHM the fluorescence FWHM decreased as the reorganization energy (eV) decreased. That is, the narrowed width of the fluorescence spectrum was confirmed.

[0543] Here, as shown in Tables 3 to 9, the reorganization energy of the condensed cyclic compounds 1 to 102, 201 to 203, 301 to 369, 401 to 413, and 501 to 532 of the present disclosure was 0.100 eV or less, and was a value smaller than that of the known condensed cyclic compounds R1 to R3 in the art. Therefore, referring to FIG. 5, it was confirmed that the condensed cyclic compounds of the present disclosure had smaller FWHM and higher color purity than those of the known condensed cyclic compounds R1 to R3 in the art.

[0544] In addition, the reorganization energy of Compounds C1 to C5 of Comparative Examples was 0.114 eV or more, which is equal to or greater than that of the known condensed cyclic compounds R1 to R3 in the art. Referring to FIG. 5, it was confirmed that Compounds C1 to C3 of the Comparative Examples had FWHM equal to or greater than that of the known condensed cyclic compounds R1 to R3 and color purity equal to or less than that of the known condensed cyclic compounds R1 to R3 in the art.

[0545] In addition, as shown in Tables 3 to 9, the condensed cyclic compounds of the present disclosure had significantly reduced values of the reorganization energy (eV) compared to Compounds C1 to C5 of the Comparative Examples. Accordingly, it was confirmed that the condensed cyclic compounds of the present disclosure had significantly lower FWHM and significantly higher color purity compared to Compounds C1 to C5 of the Comparative Examples.

[0546] Therefore, it was confirmed that the condensed cyclic compounds of the present disclosure had a very narrow spectrum width and showed fluorescence with high color purity, particularly blue fluorescence with high color purity. It was also confirmed that the condensed cyclic compounds of the present disclosure had a sufficient magnitude of the oscillator strength (f), and the fluorescence efficiency thereof was also excellent.

Evaluation Example 3: Measurement of Fluorescence Spectrum Width (FWHM) of Condensed Cyclic Compounds of the Present Disclosure

[0547] The properties of the condensed cyclic compounds of the present disclosure were evaluated experimentally, and Compounds 100, 202, and 301 were used as exemplary compounds of the condensed cyclic compounds of the present disclosure.

[0548] For each of the 1×10.sup.−5 M (=mol/dm.sup.3, mol/L) toluene solutions of Compounds 100, 202, and 301 of the present disclosure, the measurement was performed with an excitation wavelength of 320 nm at room temperature by using a spectrofluorescence photometer F7000 manufactured by Hitachi High-Tech Science Company, and the fluorescence peak wavelength (nm) and the fluorescence spectrum width (full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the fluorescence spectrum peak) of PL were evaluated.

[0549] Here, the peak wavelength of fluorescence was not particularly limited, but it was preferable that it be within a blue emission region, particularly, within a range of about 440 nm to about 465. In addition, in the present evaluation, it was confirmed that the smaller FWHM of the fluorescence spectrum width corresponded with an improved color purity. These measurement results are shown in Table 10 below. In addition, Table 10 below also shows the results of the known condensed cyclic compounds R1 to R3 in the art measured in the same manner as described above.

TABLE-US-00010 TABLE 10 PL fluorescence Compound wavelength(nm) PL FWHM (nm) 100 461 18 202 457 20 301 441 14 R1 453 22 R2 451 26 R3 445 42

[0550] Referring to Table 10, it was confirmed that the condensed cyclic compounds of the present disclosure, Compounds 100, 202, and 301, had smaller PL FWHMs compared to the known condensed cyclic compounds in the art, Compounds R1 to R3. That is, based on the results above, it was confirmed that the condensed cyclic compounds of the present disclosure had a very narrow spectrum width in PL fluorescence and exhibited blue fluorescence with high color purity.

Organic Light-Emitting Device Examples

Device Example 1

[0551] An ITO glass substrate was cut into a size of 50 mm×50 mm×0.5 mm, sonicated in acetone, isopropyl alcohol, and distilled water in the order, each for 15 minutes, and then, washed by exposure to UV ozone for 30 minutes.

[0552] Thereafter, F6-TCNNQ was deposited on the ITO electrode to form a hole injection layer having a thickness of 10 nm, Compound HT1 was deposited on the hole injection layer to form a hole transport layer having a thickness of 126 nm, and Compound o-CBP was deposited on the hole transport layer to form an electron blocking layer having a thickness of 10 nm.

[0553] Compound o-CBP, Compound mCBP-2CN (host), and Compound 100 (dopant) were co-deposited on the electron blocking layer to form an emission layer having a thickness of 40 nm. Here, the mass ratio of Compound o-CBP and Compound mCBP-2CN was 60:40, and the concentration of Compound 100 was set to 1.5 weight % with respect to the total mass of Compound o-CBP, Compound mCBP-2CN, and Compound 100 (that is, the total mass of the emission layer).

[0554] After depositing Compound mCBP-2CN on the emission layer to form a hole blocking layer having a thickness of 10 nm, Compound ET17 and LiQ were co-deposited on the hole blocking layer in a weight ratio of 5:5 to form an electron transport layer having a thickness of 36 nm. Then, LiQ was deposited on the electron transport layer to form an electron injection layer having a thickness of 0.5 nm.

[0555] An Al electrode having a thickness of 80 nm was formed on the electron injection layer, thereby manufacturing a light-emitting device.

[0556] Afterwards, the light-emitting device manufactured in the above process was sealed using an ultraviolet curable resin (MORESCO, product name: WB90US) and a glass sealing tube dried in a glove box with a moisture concentration of 1 ppm or less and an oxygen concentration of 1 ppm or less in a nitrogen atmosphere, thereby completing the manufacture of an organic light-emitting device.

Device Example 2

[0557] A light-emitting device was manufactured in the same manner as in Device Example 1, except that Compound 202 was used instead of Compound 100 in forming an emission layer. Then, the manufactured light-emitting device was sealed, thereby completing the manufacture of an organic light-emitting device.

Device Example 3

[0558] A light-emitting device was manufactured and sealed in the same manner as in Device Example 1 to complete the manufacture of an organic light-emitting device, except that the emission layer was formed as follows.

Formation of Emission Layer in Device Example 3

[0559] Compound o-CBP and Compound mCBP-2CN (host), Compound Pt1 (sensitizer), and Compound 100 (dopant) were co-deposited on the electron blocking layer to form an emission layer having a thickness of 40 nm. Here, the mass ratio of Compound o-CBP, Compound mCBP-2CN, and Compound Pt1 was 60:40:10, and the concentration of Compound 100 was set to be 1.5 wt % with respect to the total mass of Compound o-CBP, Compound mCBP-2CN, Compound Pt1, and Compound 100 (i.e. , the total mass of the emission layer).

Device Example 4

[0560] A light-emitting device was manufactured in the same manner as in Device Example 3, except that Compound 202 was used instead of Compound 100 in forming an emission layer. Then, the manufactured light-emitting device was sealed, thereby completing the manufacture of an organic light-emitting device.

Comparative Device Example 1

[0561] A light-emitting device was manufactured in the same manner as in Device Example 1, except that Compound R1 was used instead of Compound 100 in forming an emission layer. Then, the manufactured light-emitting device was sealed, thereby completing the manufacture of an organic light-emitting device.

Evaluation Example 4: Evaluation of Organic Light-Emitting Device

[0562] To evaluate the characteristics of the organic light-emitting devices manufactured according to Device Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Device Example 1, brightness, external quantum efficiency, and device lifetime of the organic light-emitting device were measured. Light was emitted while changing the voltage of the organic light-emitting device using a direct current constant voltage power supply (source meter 2400 manufactured by KEITHLEY), and the brightness, emission spectrum, and the amount of light emitted were measured using a luminance measuring device (SR-3 manufactured by Topcon). Here, the external quantum efficiency was calculated from the amount of light emitted in the emission spectrum and the current value at the time of measurement.

[0563] LT.sub.95 shows the evaluation result of the device lifetime, and represents the time measured until the emission luminance, which decreases with the lapse of continuous operation time at a current value of 1,000 cd/m.sup.2, becomes 95% of the initial luminance. LT.sub.95 was expressed as a relative value with respect to LT.sub.95 [hr] of Comparative Example 1 being 1. The evaluation results for the characteristics of the organic light-emitting devices are shown in Table 11 below.

TABLE-US-00011 TABLE 11 EQE (External Fluorescence Quantum wavelength FWHM Efficiency) (nm) (nm) (%) LT.sub.95 Device 468 23 9.1 4.6 example 1 Device 463 25 6.9 2.2 example 2 Device 468 24 17.0 20.1 example 3 Device 464 25 16.8 16.6 example 4 Device 460 27 4.9 1 comparative example 1

[0564] Referring to the results of Table 11, it was confirmed that the condensed cyclic compounds of the present disclosure, Compounds 100 and 202, exhibited blue fluorescence with a very narrow spectrum width and high color purity in the emission of the light-emitting device, and that Compounds 100 and 202 of the present disclosure had excellent external quantum efficiency and excellent device lifetime with excellent luminescence efficiency. In addition, it was confirmed that, compared to the devices of Device Examples 1 and 2 including the condensed cyclic compounds of the present disclosure only, the devices of Device Examples 3 and 4 including Compounds 100 and 202 which are the condensed cyclic compounds of the present disclosure together with Compound Pt1 which is a sensitizer showed the equivalent emission peak wavelength and the equivalent emission spectrum width (FWHM) to those of the devices of Device Examples 1 and 2 and exhibited the significantly improved external quantum efficiency and better LT.sub.95. Therefore, it was confirmed that, when the condensed cyclic compounds of the present disclosure and the sensitizer were used together, the luminescence efficiency and device lifespan of the organic light-emitting device were remarkably improved.

[0565] In addition, regarding the simulation evaluation results above, it was confirmed that the results were consistent with the tendency that the reorganization energy of the condensed cyclic compound of the present disclosure was smaller than the known condensed cyclic compounds R1 to R3 and that the FWHM of the condensed cyclic compound of the present disclosure was smaller than the known condensed cyclic compounds R1 to R3 (see FIG. 5).

[0566] Accordingly, compared to the light-emitting device of Comparative Examples including Compounds C1 to C5 that are groups other than the condensed cyclic compound of the present disclosure, i.e., the group represented by Formula 2-1 or 2-2, the organic light-emitting device using the condensed cyclic compound of the present disclosure exhibited fluorescence having a narrow spectrum width and high color purity, in particular, blue fluorescence having high color purity.

[0567] In the above experiments, Compounds 100, 202, and 301 were used as exemplary embodiments of the condensed cyclic compound of the present disclosure. However, as represented by the above simulation evaluations, it is understood that other condensed cyclic compounds of the present disclosure also have similar properties. For this reason, other condensed cyclic compounds of the present disclosure and organic light-emitting devices using the same may also exhibit similar fluorescence emission with high color purity, particularly blue fluorescence emission with high color purity, and exhibit excellent luminous efficiency and excellent device lifetime.

[0568] According to the one or more embodiments, the inclusion of the condensed cyclic compound represented by Formula 1-1 or 1-2 provides high color purity.

[0569] It should be understood that embodiments described herein should be considered in a descriptive sense only and not for purposes of limitation. Descriptions of features or aspects within each embodiment should typically be considered as available for other similar features or aspects in other embodiments. While one or more embodiments have been described with reference to the figures, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope as defined by the following claims.
