Four compounds 4‐[3,6‐di(carbazol‐9‐yl)carbazol‐9‐yl]isoquinoline (TCIQ), 3‐[3,6‐di(carbazol‐9‐yl)carbazol‐9‐yl]pyridine (TCPy), 4‐(carbazol‐9‐yl)isoquinoline (4CIQ), and 3‐(carbazol‐9‐yl)pyridine (CPy) containing pyridyl or isoquinolyl were designed and synthesized to co‐deposition with copper iodide (CuI) to form luminescent Cu(I) complex doped film in situ, which could be utilized as the emissive layer in organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs). It is found that simple tri‐layered yellow and white OLEDs can be achieved by co‐depositing CuI and TCIQ with tuning ratios. The compound TCIQ serves a dual role as both a ligand for forming the emissive Cu(I) complex and as a host matrix for the formed emitter in yellow OLEDs, and a third role as a blue emitter in white OLEDs.
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.
