In recent years, owing to the demand for highefficiency phosphorescent organic light-emitting devices (PhOLEDs), many studies have been conducted on the development of bipolar host materials. A series of imidazolylphenylcarbazole-based host materials, i. e., im-CzP, im-CzPCz, im-CzPtBu, and im-OCzP, were synthesized to obtain highefficiency green and red-emitting PhOLEDs. With im-OCzP as the host, satisfactory peak efficiencies of 22.2 (77.0 cd A À 1 and 93.1 lm W À 1 ) and 14.1 % (9.0 cd A À 1 and 10.1 lm W À 1 ) could be obtained, respectively. To further improve the performance of the devices, an electron transport material, bis-4,6-(3,5-di-3pyridylphenyl)-2-methylpyrimidine (B3PyMPM) was selected to construct a co-hosted system. The efficiency of im-OCzP combined with B3PyMPM forming co-hosts could also achieve high values of 23.0 (80.0 cd A À 1 and 98.8 lm W À 1 ) and 16.5 % (10.2 cd A À 1 and 13.4 lm W À 1 ) for green and red PhOLEDs, respectively. These results exhibited that the proposed bipolar hosts have great flexibility in adjusting the carrier balance of EML in OLEDs, demonstrating their ingenious design and high potential.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
