Abstract

A light emitting polymer includes a phosphorescence unit and a fluorescence unit. An organic light emitting device includes the light emitting polymer. The light emitting polymer can emit light of two or more colors according to a phosphorescent and fluorescent mechanisms, and thus the organic light emitting device including the light emitting polymer can have long lifetime, high brightness and excellent efficiency, and emit white light.
