Abstract

High efficiency yellow phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes were developed using spiro[fluorene-9,8′-indolo[3,2,1-de]acridine]-2,7- dicarbonitrile (ACDCN) as the host material for yellow emitting iridium(III) bis(4-phenylthieno[3,2-c]pyridinato-N,C2′)acetylacetonate (PO-01). The ACDCN host showed bipolar charge transport properties and efficient energy transfer to PO-01 dopant. Maximum external quantum efficiency of 25.7% and external quantum efficiency of 21.9% at 1000 cd/m2 were obtained using ACDCN as the host material. In addition, high external quantum efficiency of 20.9% was achieved in the two color white phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes with the PO-01 and iridium(III) bis[(4,6-difluorophenyl)- pyridinato-N,C2]picolinate doped ACDCN emitting layer.
