Abstract

In this study, we designed and synthesized two blue fluorescence materials using 7,7-dimethyl-9-(10-phenylanthracen-9-yl)-7H-benzo[b]fluoreno[3,4-d]thiophene substituted anthracene derivatives. To characterize their electroluminescent properties, we fabricated the OLED devices using these two emitting materials. Particularly, a device using 7,7-dimethyl-9-(10-phenylanthracen-9-yl)-7Hbenzo[ b]fluoreno[3,4-d]thiophene showed maximum values of luminous efficiency, power efficiency, and external quantum efficiency of 2.42 cd/A, 1.48 lm/W, 3.08% at 20 mA/cm2, respectively with CIE (x, y) coordinates of (0.15, 0.09) at 8.0 V.
