Abstract

Organic light emitting diode (OLED) is a device that uses organic semiconductor materials to emit light under the action of an electric field. Compared with traditional luminescent materials, they have the advantages of good softness, low-temperature resistance, wider field of vision and low energy consumption, and have been widely used in the field of display and lighting in recent years. In addition, compared with red and green light-emitting materials, the maximum external quantum efficiency of blue-light materials-based devices is high, but the CIE coordinate performance is poor and the blue emission is difficult to achieve high efficiency and high color purity at the same time. Researchers continue to design new molecular structures in order to synthesize new high-efficiency blue light materials. It is found that different molecular structures have different effects on the performance of OLED devices. In the design and synthesis of blue-light materials, various light-emitting groups are often used to regulate the stability, singlet-third-line state of the target molecule energy level difference, excited state lifetime, aggregation state structure, electricity luminescent color and its OLED performance, etc. The introduction of different lightemitting groups into the blue light material greatly improves the performance of the material. This paper mainly reviews the research status of blue organic electroluminescent materials in the past five years from different molecular structures, further discusses the photoelectric properties of each compound and the properties of devices based on this material, and briefly analyzes the advantages of molecular design and device production. And finally discusses the improvement methods of blue OLED light-emitting materials in order to provide a reference for future research.

Keywords: OLED, molecular structures, light-emitting groups, blue organic luminescent material, device performance, molecular design.
