Abstract

Disclosed is an organic electroluminescence device. The device includes an anode; a cathode; and a first light-emission layer disposed between the anode and the cathode and configured for emitting blue light. The first light-emission layer comprises a host composition and a blue dopant. The blue dopant includes at least one compound represented by Chemical Formula D. The host composition contains a first host compound and a second host compound. The first host compound has a triplet energy level higher than a triplet energy level of the blue dopant, while the second host compound has a triplet energy level lower than the triplet energy level of the blue dopant. In Chemical Formula D, each of R a , R b , R c , R d and R e independently is the same as defined in the present specification.
