A new anthracene derivative 9,10-bis[3,5-di(4-tert-butylphenyl)phenyl]anthracene (BPPA) was synthesized via Suzuki coupling reaction and characterized by 1H NMR spectrum,mass spectrum,and elemental analysis.BPPA exhibits deep-blue emission both in solution and in solid thin film.This compound has a non-planar structure that results in high thermal stability and the phenomenon of polymorphism.The non-doped device based on this material shows stable deep-blue emission with the 1931 Commission international de I'Eclairage (CIE) coordinate of (0.15,0.05) under different applied voltages.The device exhibits the maximum external quantum efficiency of 2.2% at 14.9 mA/cm2 with luminance of 105 cd/m2.
