Molecular Engineering of Blue Fluorescent Molecules Based on Silicon End‐Capped Diphenylaminofluorene Derivatives for Efficient Organic Light‐Emitting Materials

Abstract

AbstractBlue fluorescent materials based on silicone end‐capped 2‐diphenylaminofluorene derivatives are synthesized and characterized. These materials are doped into a 2‐methyl‐9,10‐di‐[2‐naphthyl]anthracene host as blue dopant materials in the emitting layer of organic light‐emitting diode devices bearing a structure of ITO/DNTPD (60 nm)/NPB (30 nm)/emitting layer (30 nm)/Alq3 (20 nm)/LiF (1.0 nm)/Al (200 nm). All devices exhibit highly efficient blue electroluminescence with high external quantum efficiencies (3.47%–7.34% at 20 mA cm−2). The best luminous efficiency of 11.2 cd A−1 and highest quantum efficiency of 7.34% at 20 mA cm−2 are obtained in a device with CIE coordinates (0.15, 0.25). A deep‐blue OLED with CIE coordinates (0.15, 0.14) exhibits a luminous efficiency of 3.70 cd A−1 and quantum efficiency of 3.47% at 20 mA cm−2.
