CN-Modified Host Materials for Improved Efficiency and Lifetime in Blue Phosphorescent and Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescent Organic Light-Emitting Diodes
Sung Yong Byeon, Ji Han Kim, Jun Yeob Lee
CN-modified host materials, 9-(2-(9-phenyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)phenyl)-9H-carbazole-3-carbonitrile (o-CzCN) and 9-(3-(9-phenyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)phenyl)-9H-carbazole-3-carbonitrile (m-CzCN), which can improve the external quantum efficiency and lifetime of both blue phosphorescent and thermally activated delayed fluorescent (TADF) emitters were developed. A molecular design approach to stabilize the molecular structure and reduce the energy gap produced two high triplet energy host materials of o-CzCN and m-CzCN compatible with the phosphorescent and TADF emitters. The new host materials lowered operation voltage, increased quantum efficiency, and elongated lifetime of both phosphorescent and TADF devices.
The MS analysis was carried out using Advion Expression® CMS.
