Stable styrylamine-doped blue organic electroluminescent device based on 2-methyl-9,10-<i>di</i>(2-naphthyl)anthracene

Abstract

We have developed a highly efficient and stable blue organic electroluminescent (EL) device based on a blue fluorescent styrylamine dopant, p-bis(p-N,N-diphenyl-aminostyryl)benzene, in a morphologically stable high band-gap host material, 2-methyl-9,10-di(2-naphthyl)anthracene, which achieved an EL efficiency of 9.7cd∕A and 5.5lm∕W at 20mA∕cm2 and 5.7 V, with Commission Internationale d’Eclairage coordinates of (x=0.16,y=0.32). The blue-doped device achieved a half-decay lifetime (t1∕2) of 46 000 h at an initial brightness of 100cd∕m2.
