The new materials exhibit high electron mobilities of around 10 (4) cm(2) V (1) s (1), and OLEDs comprising the materials operate at lower voltage than the OLEDs with tris(8-hydroxyquinolinato) aluminum (Alq) as an ET material. The new materials are also useful for phosphorescent OLEDs in blue-, green-, and red-light-emitting devices, where they function as both electron-transporting and hole-blocking materials. Phosphorescent OLEDs with the new materials operate at lower voltage (while maintaining comparable external quantum efficiencies of electroluminescence) than does the corresponding reference device with bathocuproine/Alq as electron-transporting and hole-blocking layers., Article, ORGANIC ELECTRONICS. 11(12):1966-1973 (2010)}, pages = {1966--1973}, title = {Bi- or ter-pyridine tris-substituted benzenes as electron-transporting materials for organic light-emitting devices}, volume = {11}, year = {2010} }
