Efficient Blue Light Emitting Diode by Using Anthracene Derivative with 3,5-Diphenylphenyl Wings at 9- and 10-Position

The novel blue light emitting material, 9,10-bis(3',5'-diphenylphenyl)anthracene (BDA) was synthesized by Suzuki coupling reaction and characterized by the measurements of 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR and FT-IR. The new anthracene derivative, which contains anthracene as a main core unit and 3',5'-diphenylphenyl group derivative as wings, has high fluorescence yield, good thermal stability, and high glass transition temperature at 188 °C. With the newly non-doped blue emitting material in the multilayer device structure, it was possible to achieve the current efficiency of 3.0 cd/A. The EL spectrum of the ITO/CuPc/α-NPD/BDA/Alq3/LiF/Al device showed a maximum wavelength (λ max ) at 440 nm. The emitting color of device showed the blue emission (x,y) = (0.18, 0.19) at 10 mA/cm 2 in CIE (Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage) chromaticity coordinates.
