Abstract
Abstract Novel 2,4-difluorophenyl-functionalized triphenylamine and its dimer, namely tris(2′,4′-difluorobiphenyl-4-yl)-amine (3FT) and N 4 , N 4 , N 4 ′, N 4 ′-tetrakis-(2′,4′-difluorobiphenyl-4-yl)-biphenyl-4,4′-diamine (4FDT), have been synthesized and characterized. The device with the configuration of ITO/4FDT/Alq 3 /LiF/Al yields maximum current efficiency of 4.3 cd/A. Moreover, with 4FDT as the hole-injecting layer, the maximum efficiency and luminance of the device was further improved to be 5.0 cd/A and 19 880 cd/m 2 , respectively. The good performance of devices with 4FDT as HTL or HIL was attributed to the incorporation of the strong electron-withdrawing fluorinated substituents into the arylamine moiety, which reduced holes mobility of HTL and HIL and then balanced the injected carriers in devices.
