J Nanosci Nanotechnol. 2012 Apr;12(4):3451-4. doi: 10.1166/jnn.2012.5654.

Abstract

Efficient deep-blue organic light-emitting diodes were demonstrated using 1,4-tetranaphthalene doped in double-emitting layers (D-EMLs) consisting of 2-methyl-9,10-di(2-naphthyl)anthracene and 4'-(dinaphthalen-2-yl)-1,1'-binaphthyl as blue hosts. The device with D-EML exhibits good confinement of holes and electrons, as well as a broad recombination zone. The optimized device showed a peak current efficiency of 3.67 cd/A, a peak external quantum efficiency of 3.97%, and Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage coordinates of (0.16, 0.10).
