title: A New-Anthracene Derivative Containing t-Butyl Group for Solution Process Organic Light-Emitting Diodes.
abstract: 4-(10-(3',5'-diphenylbiphenyl-4-yl)anthracen-9-yl)-N,N-diphenylaniline [TATa] and a new anthracene derivative of 4-(2 or 3-tert-butyl-10-(3',5'-diphenylbiphenyl-4-yl)anthracen-9-yl)-N,N-diphenylaniline [T-TATa] isomer by introduced t-butyl group were synthesized. OLED devices of TATa and T-TATa were fabricated by solution process. Its physical properties such as optical, electrochemical, and electroluminescent properties were also investigated. Two compounds were used as emitting layer (EML) in OLED device: ITO/PEDOT (40 nm)/synthesized materials (60 nm)/TPBi (20 nm)/LiF (1 nm)/Al (200 nm). The luminance efficiency of the synthesized compounds at 10 mA/cm2 were measured 0.85 cd/A for TATa and 1.49 cd/A for T-TATa, respectively. Moreover, the power efficiency of T-TATa is 1.08 lm/W. Its value is almost two times higher than 0.56 lm/W of TATa. As a result, more improved efficiency was shown with the device in a compound including t-butyl group to TATa core part, when the deivces were prepared by solution process.
