Abstract

Provided are a heterocyclic compound and an organic electroluminescent device comprising the same, which relate to the field of organic electroluminescent technologies. The heterocyclic compound has advantages of good film-forming property, good thermal stability, and relatively high glass-transition temperature, and the service life of the device can be prolonged when the heterocyclic compound is applied to an organic layer of the organic electroluminescent device; meanwhile, the structure has a deep HOMO energy level so that holes can be effectively prevented from diffusing from the emissive layer to the electron transport layer and the recombination probability of the holes and electrons in the emissive layer can be effectively improved; and when the heterocyclic compound is applied to the electron transport layer or hole blocking layer, the luminous efficiency of the device can be effectively improved.
