4,4′-Bis(N-carbazolyl)-1,1′-biphenyl (CBP), is one of the most widely-used host materials for efficient fluorescent and phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes with high hole mobility. This is due to its electron-rich property from two carbazolyl units.
It has been demonstrated that CBP can efficiently host green, yellow and red phosphorescent emitters with triplet energies smaller than that of CBP (ET = 2.6 eV) [1].
