Abstract

A host material containing tetraphenylsilane, 9-(4-triphenylsilanyl-(1,1'4,1")-terphenyl-4"-yl)-9H-cabazole (TSTC), was synthesized for green phosphorescent organic emitting diodes. $Ir(ppy)_3$ based OLEDs using TSTC host and DTBT (2,4-diphenyl-6-(4'yl)-1,3,5-triazine) hole blocking layer (HBL) showed the maximum external quantum efficiency of 19.8 %, the power efficiency of 59.4 lm and high operational stability with a half lifetime of 160,000 h at an initial luminance of $100\;cd/m^2$.
