Abstract
A α-carboline based high triplet energy material, 9,9′-(5′-(carbazol-9-yl)-[1,1′:3′,1″-terphenyl]-3,3″-diyl)di-α-carboline (2CbCzT), was designed and synthesized as the thermally stable host material for blue phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (PHOLEDs). The 2CbCzT host showed high glass transition temperature of 149°C and high decomposition temperature of 518°C at 5% weight loss. In addition, the 2CbCzT exhibited bipolar charge transport properties due to hole transport type carbazole and electron transport type α-carboline units. Blue PHOLEDs were developed using the high triplet energy 2CbCzT host material and a high quantum efficiency of 22.1% was obtained.
