An aluminum complex, tri-(2-(2-hydroxyphenyl) benzoxazole) aluminum (AlLO3), has been synthesized and applied as an electron-transporting hole-blocker in organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs). Electron-transporting and hole-blocking properties of the compound have been investigated in detail. Performance of the blue OLEDs based on AlLO3 is considerably better than that of the devices based on tris-(8-quinolinolato) aluminum (Alq3), 2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (BCP), and 2,2′,2′′-(Benzene-1,3,5-triyl)-tris(1-phenyl-1H-benzimidazole) (TPBI) with a similar device structure.
