Blue phosphorescent organic light-emitting diode (PhOLED) with a high maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 26.6% was achieved using a new material, 2,8-bis(9,9-dimethylacridin-10(9H)-yl)dibenzo[b,d]furan (DBF-DMS) with a small bandgap, as the host. The device with DBF-DMS showed improved performance compared with that with 1,3-di-9-carbazolylbenzene, which is ascribed to the enhancement in carrier injection and transporting abilities and material stability of DBF-DMS. A lifetime of more than 100 h (time to 50% of the initial luminance, 1000 cd/m² with an EQE of 19.6%) in the other DBF-DMS-based device is obtained by further utilizing better device structure. This is a report indicating that host material with a small bandgap like DBF-DMS can be successfully utilized toward blue PhOLEDs with high performance.
