Ultrahigh Efficiency from Novel Blue Emitters Using a Rational Molecular Design

We investigated new deep blue emitting materials including a novel side group such as CB-203. CB-203 shows relatively 40% increased PL quantum efficiency and higher Tg of $30^{\circ}C$ compared to MADN. It exhibits high External Quantum Efficiency (EQE) of 7.18% that is two times bigger than MADN's, which is the best efficiency in case of non-doped blue fluorescence OLED device to our knowledge. And deep blue emitting materials with a new core structure (CB-301) have been synthesized. CB-301 exhibit excellent blue fluorescence properties. Undoped OLED devices using CB-301 as blue emitters was found to deep blue CIE value (0.154, 0.078) and exhibit high luminance efficiencies of 2.01cd/A at $10\;mA/cm^2$.
