Novel benzimidazole/carbazole hybrid ambipolar molecules and application in PhOLEDs

The two novel benzimidazole/carbazole hybrid ambipolar molecules, o-CbzDiBz and m-CbzDiBz, were synthesized as hosts for blue PHOLEDs. Bis[2-(4,6-diiluorophenyl)pyridinato-C2,N](picolinato)iridium(III) (FIrpic)-based devices can achieve 41.86 and 49.31 cd/A of current efficiency in o-CbzDiBz and m-CbzDiBz matrix, respectively.
