New high triplet-energy host materials, which are symmetrically or asymmetrically designed by using phenylcarbazole and thiophene moieties, were synthesized by Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions and their device performances of blue phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes were also investigated. The synthesized compounds showed a high triplet energy (>2.84 eV) and good thermal stability. Highly efficient blue PHOLEDs were obtained when employing the symmetric compounds having C2 symmetry as the host material and bis[2-(4,6-difluorophenyl) pyridinato-C-2, N](picolinato)iridium(III)(FIrpic) as the guest material. Their maximum external quantum efficiency of the device reached as high as 18.9% with blue color coordinate of (0.15, 0.35). (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
