Abstract

We report a novel class of emitting materials for use in the organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs): multifunctional phosphorescent dendrimers that have a phosphorescent core and have charge transporting dendrons. We have synthesized first-generation and second-generation dendrimers consisting of a fac-tris(2-phenylpyridine)iridium [Ir(ppy)3] core and hole transporting phenylcarbazole-based dendrons. Smooth amorphous films of these dendrimers were formed by spin-coating them from solutions. The OLEDs using the dendrimer exhibited bright green or yellowish-green emission from the Ir(ppy)3 core. The external quantum efficiency of the OLED using the mixture film of the first-generation dendrimer and an electron-transporting material was as high as 7.6%.
