Abstract

Recently bipolar phosphorescent host materials have attracted wide attention since they can achieve better charge balance and hence better device performance. In this work, we report the synthesis and physical properties of a novel bipolar host material containing the dimesityl borane/carbazole hybrid, CMesB. With a high triplet energy, CMesB is considered a promising universal host material and has been applied to phosphorescent OLEDs of various colors. Red/green/blue/white (RGBW) OLEDs based on CMesB all show high external quantum efficiencies (20.7% for red, 20.0% for green, 16.5% for blue, and 15.7% for white) at practical brightnesses. The results indicate that the bipolar host CMesB with high triplet energy has high potential in manufacturing RGBW OLEDs for display or lighting applications.
