Synthesis and Electroluminescence Property of Green Fluorescent Dopant Including Anthracene and Diphenylamine Moiety.

Abstract

We have synthesized green fluorescent emitters of N9,N9,N10,N10-tetraphenylanthracene-9,10-diamine (TAD) and N9,N9,N10,N10-tetra-o-tolylanthracene-9,10-diamine (oMe-TAD) including anthracene and diphenylamine moiety and evaluated properties of compounds. The methyl groups were introduced to the diphenylamine to prevent molecular aggregation of the dopant and reduce self-quenching through steric hindrance of molecular structure. In solution state, photoluminescence (PL) maximum wavelength is 508 nm for TAD and 519 nm for oMe-TAD. In film state, PL maximum wavelength is 518 nm for TAD and 527 nm for oMe-TAD. In electroluminescence (EL) spectra, EL maximum wavelength of TAD is 508 nm and EL maximum wavelength of oMe-TAD is 522 nm. The doped device using TAD as green fluorescent dopant exhibited CE of 17.7 cd/A, PE of 7.74 lm/W, and EQE of 6.11%. The doped device using oMe-TAD as dopant exhibited CE of 19.8 cd/A, PE of 7.23 lm/W, and EQE of 5.97%.
