Abstract: Benzothiazolate derivative (BT) with high fluorescence quantum yield was synthesized and firstly used as dopant in blue organic electroluminescent devices. The devices structure ITO/TPD/DPBI:2% BT/DPBI/Mg:Ag was employed, in which TPD is N,N’-bis(3methylphenyl)N,N’-diphenyl1, 1’-biphenyl-4, 4’-diamine and used as a hole transport layer (HTL);DPBI is a dimer of Narylbenzimidazoles and functioned as host and electron transporter. In the device with BT as dopant, blue emission peak around 475 nm and a luminance of 1260 cd/m2 was achieved at a current density of about 400 mA/cm2. The current efficiency of this device is about 0.50 cd/A at 5 V.

Key words: benzothiazolate derivative, electroluminescent, photoluminescent
