Light-emitting element and aromatic compound for the same

A light-emitting element comprising:

• a first electrode;
• a second electrode on the first electrode;
• and
• at least one functional layer between the first electrode and the second electrode and including an aromatic compound represented by Formula 1:
• wherein in Formula 1,
• X0 is Si or Ge,
• n1 to n4 are each independently 1 or 2,
• L1 to L4 are each independently a substituted or unsubstituted divalent hydrocarbon ring group having 6 to 30 ring-forming carbon atoms, or a substituted or unsubstituted divalent heterocyclic group having 3 to 30 ring-forming carbon atoms,
• two selected groups from among Ar1 to Ar4 are nitrogen-containing heterocyclic groups and the other two groups are each a hydrogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group having 6 to 30 ring-forming carbon atoms, or a substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl group having 2 to 30 ring-forming carbon atoms,
• n1 and n2 are 1, and L1 and L2 are each independently a substituted or unsubstituted divalent hydrocarbon ring group having 7 to 30 ring-forming carbon atoms if Ar1 and Ar2 are heterocyclic groups containing at least one nitrogen atom as a ring-forming atom, and
• wherein the two nitrogen-containing heterocyclic groups are each independently a substituted pyridine group, a substituted pyrimidine group, a substituted triazine group, or a substituted quinazoline group, wherein the substituted pyridine group, the substituted pyrimidine group, or the substituted quinazoline group comprises, as a substituent, a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted naphthyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted biphenyl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted pyridine group.
