Highly Efficient Blue Organic Light Emitting Diodes Based on Cyclohexane-Fused Quinoxaline Acceptor.

Exploring blue organic light emitting diodes (OLED) is an important but challenging issue. Herein, to achieve blue-shifted emission, cyclohexane is fused to quinoxaline to weaken the electron-withdrawing ability and conjugation degree of the acceptor. As a result, blue to cyan fluorescent emitters of Me-DPA-TTPZ, tBu-DPA-TTPZ, and TPA-TTPZ were designed and synthesized with donors of diphenylamine and triphenylamine, which exhibit high photoluminescence quantum yields and good thermal stability. In OLEDs with emitters of TPA-TTPZ, the sensitized and nonsensitized devices demonstrate deep-blue (449 nm) and blue (468 nm) emission with maximum external quantum efficiency and CIE coordinates of 6.1%, (0.15, 0.10) and 5.1%, (0.17, 0.22), respectively, validating their potential as blue emitters in OLEDs.
