Abstract

The present study reports synthesis of phenathroimidazole derivatives structures following donor-acceptor relation for high performance deep-blue light emitting diodes. Herein, methyl substituted benzodioxin-6-amine phenanthroimidazoles Cz-SBDPI and TPA-SBDPI derivatives that provide the blue light were designed and synthesized. These Cz-SBDPI and TPA-SBDPI show higher glass transition (T<sub>g</sub>) temperatures of 199 and 194 °C and demonstrate enhanced thermal properties. Apart from enhanced thermal stability these compounds also exhibit superior photophysical, electrochemical and electroluminescent properties. The non-doped carbazole based device display improved electroluminescent performances than those of TPA-based devices. The strong orbital-coupling due to decreased energy barrier between Cz-SBDPI transitions result in deep blue emission with CIE-0.15, 0.06. For non-doped Cz-SBDPI device; high L (brightness):12,984 cd/m<sup>2</sup>; η<sub>c</sub> (current efficiency): 5.9 cd/A; η<sub>p</sub> (power efficiency): 5.7 lm/W and η<sub>ex</sub> (external quantum efficiency): 6.2% was observed. The results show that the D-A emitters can serve as simple but also as an effective approach to devise cheap electroluminescent materials that has high efficiency and can serve as OLED devices.
