Abstract
A novel self-host blue-emitting iridium dendrimer, namely, B-CzPO, has been designed and synthesized via a postdendronization route, where a bipolar carbazole/triphenylphosphine oxide hybrid is selected as the peripheral dendron instead of the p-type oligocarbazole used in unipolar analogue B-CzG2. This structural modification can render B-CzPO with more balanced charge transportation relative to that of B-CzG2. As a result of the significantly reduced efficiency roll-off, the nondoped phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (PhOLEDs) of B-CzPO show a superior high-brightness performance, revealing a luminous efficiency of 21.2, 16.1, and 10.5 cd/A at 1000, 5000, and 10 000 cd/m2, respectively. Compared with that of B-CzG2 (i.e., 7.8 cd/A @5000 cd/m2), more than doubled high-brightness performance is achieved for B-CzPO. The results indicate that the design of self-host phosphorescent dendrimers with a bipolar feature will be a promising strategy to develop efficient nondoped PhOLEDs suitable for high-brightness applications including general illumination and micro displays.
