Abstract
Two TADF emitters 2,7-di(9H-carbazole)-1,8-naphthyridine (Cz-ND) and 2,7-di(3,6-di-tert-butyl-9H-carbazole)-1,8-naphthyridine (tBuCz-ND) were designed and synthesized. Both of the emitters showed high thermal stabilities and strong blue emissions with high photoluminescence quantum yields, and also exhibited excellent TADF properties with small ΔEST values. Consequently, blue organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on Cz-ND and tBuCz-ND were fabricated, which could achieve maximum external quantum efficiencies (EQEmax) of 15.3 and 20.9%, respectively. Moreover, the devices also exhibited relatively narrow band gaps at 79 and 75 nm with the CIE coordinates of (0.15, 0.17) and (0.15, 0.22), respectively.
