Abstract

Abstract A new class of hole-transporting vinyl polymers, poly{4-vinyl-4 ′ -[bis(4 ′ - tert -butylbiphenyl-4-yl)amino]biphenyl} (PVBAB) and poly{4-vinyl-4 ′ -[ N , N -bis(9,9-dimethylfluoren-2-yl)amino]biphenyl} (PVFAB), and a new emitting vinyl polymer, poly(2-{4-[4-vinylphenyl(4-methylphenyl)amino]phenyl}-5-dimesitylborylthiophene) (PVPhAMB-1T), were designed and synthesized. These new vinyl polymers form smooth amorphous films with high glass-transition temperatures of ca. 200 °C. PVBAB and PVFAB possess electron-donating properties, and PVPhAMB-1T possesses bipolar character with both electron-donating and accepting properties, exhibiting strong fluorescence in solution and as films. Organic electroluminescent devices using PVBAB or PVFAB as a hole-transport layer and N , N ′ -dimethylquinacridone-doped tris(8-quinolinolato)aluminum as an emitting layer were thermally stable and exhibited very high performance. The use of PVPhAMB-1T as an emitting material also permitted the fabrication of a high-performance, green-emitting organic EL device.
