wherein,

A 1 is a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic hydrocarbon ring of 6 to 50 carbon atoms,

A 2 , E, and F may be the same or different, and are each independently a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic hydrocarbon ring of 6 carbon atoms,

wherein two adjacent carbon atoms of the aromatic ring A 1 and two adjacent carbon atoms of the aromatic ring A 2 form a 5-membered fused ring together with the carbon atom having substituents R 1 and R 2 linked thereto;

linkers L 1 to L 4 may be the same or different, and are each independently selected from among a direct bond and a substituted or unsubstituted arylene of 6 to 60 carbon atoms;

M in Chemical Formula A is S;

M in Chemical Formula B is any one selected from among O, and S;

R 1 and R 2 may be the same or different, and are each independently any one selected from among a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl of 1 to 30 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl of 6 to 50 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl of 3 to 30 carbon atoms,

Ar 1 , Ar 3 , and Ar 4 may be the same or different, and are each independently any one selected from among, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl of 6 to 50 carbon atoms, substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl of 2 to 50 carbon atoms,
