Abstract
A light emission material includes a first compound satisfying Equation 1: K2≥0.1K1. Equation 1 In Equation 1, K1 is a sum of radiationless transition rate due to internal conversion from a certain specific n-th triplet excitation state to a lower order triplet excitation state including the lowest triplet excitation state, K2 is a reverse intersystem crossing transition rate from the certain specific n-th triplet excitation state to a singlet excitation state which is adjacent to the n-th triplet excitation state, and n is an integer of 2 or more. An organic electroluminescence device including the light emission material may simultaneously attain high emission efficiency and roll-off reduction.
