Highly Efficient Multifluorenyl Host Materials with Unsymmetrical Molecular Configurations and Localized Triplet States for Green and Red Phosphorescent Devices

Highly efficient green and red electro-phosphorescence is achieved in devices with the host material DPESPODEF3. The multiple fluorenyl moieties of the host material are arranged such that it has an unsymmetrical molecular configuration, and its triplet-state location is tuned such that it has independent energy (ET) and charge transfer (CT) channels. As a result, DPESPODEF3 can suppress triplet-triplet annihilation and triplet-polaron quenching. In the resulting green and red phosphorescent devices, impressive external quantum efficiencies of ca. 20% and 16% and power efficiencies of ca. 75 and 20 lm W(-1) , respectively, are observed.
