New bifunctional materials namely BTTF, TPTF and BPTF having 9,9-bis(4-diphenylaminophenyl) fluorene as a molecular platform were synthesized and characterized. These molecules showed strong blue emission in both solution and solid state with a solution fluorescence quantum efficiency of up to 74% and were thermally stable amorphous materials with glass transition temperature well above 170 C. The abilities of these materials as blue light-emitting materials for blue OLEDs and holetransporting materials for green OLEDs in terms of device performance and thermal property were superior to a commonly used N,N 0 -diphenyl-N,N 0 -bis(1-naphthyl)-(1,1 0 -biphenyl)-4,4 0 -diamine (NPB). Efficient non-doped blue and Alq3-based green OLEDs with maximum luminance efficiencies and CIE coordinates of 2.06 cd A À1 and (0.15, 0.13), and 4.94 cd A À1 and (0.29, 0.52) were achieved, respectively, with BPTF having two pyrene substituents as the emitting layer and the hole-transporting layer, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
