Bifunctional anthracene derivatives as non-doped blue emitters and hole-transporters for electroluminescent devices

Abstract
New highly fluorescent bifunctional anthracenes showed high thermal and electrochemical stability, and great potential as both blue emitters and hole-transporters for OLEDs. Deep-blue and Alq3-based green devices with maximum efficiencies and CIE coordinates of 1.65 and 6.25 cd A−1, and (0.15, 0.16) and (0.26, 0.49) were achieved, respectively.
