Organometallic compound and organic light-emitting diode including the same

Abstract

Disclosed is an organometallic compound represented by a following Chemical Formula 1. The organometallic compound acts as a dopant of a light-emitting layer of an organic light-emitting diode. Thus, operation voltage of the diode is lowered, and luminous efficiency and lifespan thereof are improved: where in the Chemical Formula 1, LA represents a main ligand having an imidazole or benzimidazole group, and includes one selected from a group consisting of following Chemical Formula 2-1, Chemical Formula 2-2, Chemical Formula 2-3, Chemical Formula 2-4, Chemical Formula 2-5, Chemical Formula 2-6, Chemical Formula 2-7 and Chemical Formula 2-8, LB denotes an ancillary ligand represented by a following Chemical Formula 3, each of m and n denotes a number of the ligands bound to Ir (iridium), and m is 1, 2 or 3, and n is 0, 1 or 2, and a sum of m and n is 3.
