DPAVBi, HTL material in organic electronic devices

Sky-blue fluorescent emitter in OLED devices


DPAVBi, 4,4′ -Bis[4-(di-p-tolylamino)styryl]biphenyl is widely used as a sky-blue fluorescent emitter in OLED devices. It is also used as a blue dopant for white TADF-OLED devices.

Bearing two triarylamine end units, DPAVBi is electron-rich in nature. It has applications as a hole-transporting material in organic electronic devices.
