  • Patent number: 8846213
    Abstract: An amine compound represented by Formula 1 below and an organic light-emitting device including an organic layer containing the same: the compound of Formula 1 may be suitable as a hole injecting material, a hole transporting material, or a light-emitting material of an organic light-emitting device. Like the compound of Formula 1, a compound having a hetero ring in its molecular structure has a high glass transition temperature (Tg) or a high melting point due to the inclusion of the hetero ring. Accordingly, when light emission occurs, such a compound has high resistance against Joules' heat generated in an organic layer, between organic layers, and between an organic layer and a metallic electrode, and has high durability in high-temperature environments.
