High-efficiency blue electroluminescence based on coumarin derivative 3-(4-(anthracen-10-yl)phenyl)-benzo[5,6]coumarin.
The electroluminescent (EL) properties of a new coumarin derivative, 3-(4-(anthracen-10-yl)phenyl)-benzo[5,6]coumarin (APBC), were investigated. The results show that the EL devices comprised of vacuum vapor-deposited films using the derivative as dopant exhibited blue emission that is identical to the photoluminescence of the thin film. The electroluminescence device of ITO/2-TNATA (5 nm)/NPB (40 nm)/CBP : APBC (1.0 wt%, 30 nm)/PBD (30 nm)/LiF (1 nm)/Al (100 nm) gives a maximum luminous efficiency of 2.3 cd/A at the current density of 20 mA/cm(2), and maximum luminance of 5169 cd/m(2) at 16 V. The external quantum efficiency of the device is 1.85 %.
