Abstract

In this study, a mono-chelated compound as novel blue light emitting material, $BPh_2$(pbi) (pbi = 2-(2-Pyridyl)benzimidazole) was synthesized Organic light emitting Diodes (OLEDs), which has a ITO/NPB(40 nm)/Boron(30 nm)/$Alq_3$(1 nm)/Liq(3 nm)/Al(150 nm) structure, has been fabricated. The maximum brightness of the device is up to about 900 cd/$m^2$ and 0.54 cd/A at 11.5 V. The EL peaks and CIE coordinates of our OLEDs is 457 nm and (0.26, 0.29), respectively.
