The review is mainly focused on benzimidazole-based Ir(III) complexes as phosphors for application in OLEDs. Benzimidazole-based Ir(III) complexes investigated as emissive phosphors in OLEDs are presented. Emissions of benzimidazole-based Ir(III) complexes can be moderately tuned from greenly-blue to red. Benzimidazole-based Ir(III) dendrimers exhibit excellent EL performances in non-doped OLEDs. Benzimidazole-based Ir(III) complexes are promising candidates in OLEDs.
