Efficient blue organic light-emitting devices based on novel anthracence derivatives with pronounced thermal stability and excellent film-forming property

New anthracene derivatives for blue electroluminescent devices was synthesized and characterized with respect to their film-forming properties, thermal properties, photoluminescence and electroluminescence. A series of anthracene based blue host materials was synthesized and characterized with respect to their chemical, luminescence, film-forming and thermal properties. Organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) fabricated using these three compounds as blue host emitter and using 0.5-wt% tetra (t-butyl) perylene (TBPe) dopant in the emitting layer exhibit good light emitting performance with bright blue emission.
