Abstract Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have great potential applications in display and solid-state lighting. Stability, cost, and blue emission are key issues governing the future of OLEDs. The synthesis and photoelectronics of a series of three kinds of binaphthyl (BN) derivatives are reported. BN 1–3 are “melting-point-less” and highly stable materials, forming very good, amorphous, glass-like films. They decompose at temperatures as high ...
