Abstract

We have developed a highly efficient and stable blue organic electroluminescent device (OLED) based on the blue fluorescent p-bis(p-N,N-diphenyl-aminostyryl)benzene (DSA-Ph) dopant in a morphologically stable high-bandgap host material, 2-methyl-9,10-di(2-naphthyl)anthracene (MADN), which achieved an EL efficiency of 9.7 cd/A and 5.5 lm/W at 20 mA/$cm^2$ and 5.7 V with a Commission Internationale d'Eclairage coordinates of(x = 0.16, y = 0.32). This sky blue device which could also alleviate the problematic current induced quenching at high current achieved a half-decay lifetime ($t_{1\;2}$) of 46,000 h at an initial brightness of 100 cd/$m^2$.
