Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an organic electroluminescent compound represented by formula 2-1, a plurality of host materials comprising a first host material comprising a compound represented by formula 1, and a second host material comprising a compound represented by formula 2, and an organic electroluminescent device comprising the same. By comprising the organic electroluminescent compound according to the present disclosure as a single host material, or the specific combination of compounds according to the present disclosure as a plurality of host materials, it is possible to provide an organic electroluminescent device having lower driving voltage, higher luminous efficiency, and/or improved lifetime properties, compared to conventional organic electroluminescent devices.
