| Abstract: | We synthesized low molecular weight triphenyldiamines (TPDs), novel 1,3,5-tris(diarylamino)benzenes (TDABs), polymeric triphenyldiamines and insoluble triphenylamine networks based on tris(4-ethynylphenyl)amine as hole transport materials for electroluminescent displays. The HOMO energy values as determined from cyclic voltammetry measurements for TPDs and TDABs are between −4.97 and −5.16 eV. By using a polymeric TPD as hole transport layer and tris(8-quinolinolato) aluminium as emitter, LEDs with an onset voltage of 3V and a luminance up to 900 cd/m2 were obtained under ambient conditions. |
