Compounds are [10'-(4,6-Diphenyl-[1,3,5]triazin-2-yl)-[9,9']bianthracenyl-10-yl]-diphenyl-amine (DPA-AA-DPT), {4-[10'-(4,6-Diphenyl-[1,3,5]triazin-2-yl)-[9,9']bianthracenyl-10-yl]-phenyl}-diphenyl- amine (TPA-AA-DPT), and 9-(4-(10'-(4,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-[9,9′-bianthracen]-10-yl)phenyl)- 9H-carbazole (PCA-AA-DPT), respectively. The optical, thermal, and electroluminescence (EL) properties of the synthesized materials were measured. Newly bipolar materials were found to have blue emission in the solution state and to acquire high PLQY values. A device doped with PCA-AA- DPT showed a very high efficiency of 6.86 cd/A and EQE of 5.53% at a high current density without roll-off phenomenon. ER -
