Blue Dopant Material with Boron-based triarylamines

High purity sublimed narrowband multi-resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescent (MR-TADF) emitter for highly efficient OLEDs


t-DABNA (CAS number 1802003-07-1), namely 2,12-di-tert-butyl-5,9-bis(4-(tert-butyl)phenyl)-5,9-dihydro-5,9-diaza-13b-boranaphtho[3,2,1-de]anthracene, is a DABNA derivative having four bulky tert-butyl side groups. Multiresonance MR-TADF emitter t-DABNA shows a high EQE of 25% and maintains the high efficiency even at high doping concentrations, owing to the intermolecular interaction being suppressed by the bulky tert-butyl group. t-DABNA has a suitable emission spectrum for application as pure blue OLEDs, showing a narrow FWHM of less than 50 nm, a high PLQY of around 90% and a CIEy of 0.07.

Developing longer life-time OLEDs 1802003-07-1

Developing longer life-time OLEDs

high external quantum efficiency of 7.6% and longer life time than conventional pyrene blue emitter

Narrow band emission 1802003-07-1

Narrow band emission

full-width half-maximum < 50nm

t-DABNA emitter, together with 9,10-bis(1-naphtyl)anthracene (α-ADN) host to harvest only singlet excitons, showed high external quantum efficiency of 7.6% as fluorescent emitters and lifetime longer than that of a conventional pyrene derived blue emitter.

Boron-based multiresonance MR-TADF emitters show great application potential in great color purity with narrowband emission and superior photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) coupled with the small singlet–triplet energy splitting.

A planar structure, v-DABNA, is also available in sublimed grade purity.
