##STR00006##

respectively; or, when Y is O or S, X is N, and this structure is denoted as

##STR00007##

[0037] In the present application, the terms optional and optionally mean that the event or circumstance described later may or may not occur. For example, optionally, any two adjacent substituents form a ring means that these two substituents may or may not form a ring, including scenarios both where two adjacent substituents form a ring and where two adjacent substituents do not form a ring. For another example, optionally, any two adjacent substituents form a ring refers to that any two adjacent substituents are interconnected to form a ring, or any two adjacent substituents may exist independently of each other. Any two adjacent may include that two substituents are present on the same atom, and may also include that one substituent is present on each of adjacent atoms; among them, where two substituents are present on the same atom, the two substituents may form a saturated or unsaturated spiro-ring with the atom to which they are jointly attached; where a substituent is present on each of two adjacent atoms, these two substituents may be fused into a ring.

They may both refer to specific options expressed by the same symbol in separate groups are mutually non-influential, and to specific options expressed by the same symbols within the same group are mutually non-influential. For example,

##STR00008##

wherein each q is independently 0, 1, 2, or 3, and each R is independently selected from hydrogen, deuterium, fluorine, or chlorine, means that Formula Q-1 represents that there are q substituents R on the benzene ring, and each R may be the same or different, with mutual non-influence between the options for each R; Formula Q-2 represents that there are q substituents R on each benzene ring of biphenyl, and the number q of R substituents on the two benzene rings may be the same or different, and each R may be the same or different, with mutual non-influence between the options for each R.

[0136] The embodiments of the present application also provide an organic electroluminescent device, comprising an anode, a cathode, and a functional layer disposed between the anode and the cathode, and the functional layer comprises the above organic compound. In the following, the organic electroluminescent device of the present application is described in detail by means of examples. However, the following examples are merely exemplary of, and not limiting, the present application.

Example 1: Red Organic Electroluminescent Device

[0137] The anode was first pretreated by the following process: On ITO/Ag/ITO substrates with sequential thicknesses of 100 /1000 /100 , UV-ozone and O.sub.2:N.sub.2 plasma were employed for surface treatment to increase the anode work function. Alternatively, organic solvent may be used to clean the ITO substrate to remove impurities and oil contaminants from the ITO substrate surface.

[0138] On the experimental substrate (anode), PD and HT-5 were co-evaporated at an evaporation rate ratio of 2%:98% to form a hole injection layer (HIL) with a thickness of 100 . Then HT-5 was vacuum evaporated on the hole injection layer to form a hole transport layer with a thickness of 1065 .

[0139] The compound HT-23 was vacuum-evaporated on the hole transport layer to form a hole adjustment layer with a thickness of 890 .

[0140] On the hole adjustment layer, the Compound 6, RHN, and RD were co-evaporated in the ratio of 49%:49%:2% to form an organic light-emitting layer (EML) with a thickness of 400 .

[0141] On the light-emitting layer, the compounds ET-1 and LiQ were co-evaporated in an evaporation rate ratio of 1:1 to form an electron transport layer (ETL) with a thickness of 350 . Yb is evaporated on the electron transport layer to form an electron injection layer (EIL) with a thickness of 10 . Then, magnesium (Mg) and silver (Ag) were mixed at an evaporation rate of 1:9 and vacuum-evaporated on the electron injection layer to form a cathode with a thickness of 130 .

[0142] In addition, Compound CP-1 was vacuum evaporated on the top of cathode to form an organic capping layer (CPL) with a thickness of 800 , thereby completing the fabrication of red organic electroluminescent device.

[0147] As can be seen from Table 8 above, compared with Comparative Examples 1-3, when the compounds of the present application were employed as host materials in red organic electroluminescent devices, the efficiency was increased by at least 11.4%, and the lifetime was increased by at least 12.9%. The reason lies in that the compounds of the present application comprise a phenanthrobenzoxazole/thiazole core structure in their structures, which is connected to aromatic amine compounds, and the compounds respectively serve as hole-transport red-light host materials. Among them, the phenanthrobenzoxazole/thiazole has a large conjugation system, which can enhance the intermolecular interactions and improve the carrier mobility of the compounds after connecting with arylamines. When the compounds of the present application are used as the hole transport materials in the mixed host materials, they can improve the carrier balance in the light-emitting layer, broaden the carrier recombination zone, enhance the efficiency of exciton generation and utilization, and improve the luminescence efficiency and lifetime of the device.
