Highly Efficient Organic Blue Electrophosphorescent Devices Based on 3,6‐Bis(triphenylsilyl)carbazole as the Host Material

Abstract

Blue electrophosphorescence in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) is enhanced by the use of 3,6-bis(triphenylsilyl)carbazole (see figure). This carbazole derivative with sterically bulky and large-gap triphenylsilyl groups is an electrochemically and morphologically stable efficient host material for blue electrophosphorescence. When utilized in OLEDs, high efficiencies of up to 16 %, 30.6 cd A–1, and 26.7 lm W–1 are achieved.
