In this paper, we report two new phenanthroline-based compounds, 1,4-bis(2-phenyl-1,10-phenanthrolin-4-yl)benzene (p-bPPhenB) and 1,3-bis (2-pheny1-1,10-phenanthrolin-4-yl)benzene (m-bPPhenB), for the charge generation unit of tandem organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). These two compounds exhibited high electron mobility of (5.8-4.4) X 10(-3) cm(2)/(V s), a very small injection barrier at the p-n junction interface, a high glass transition temperature of 123.9-182.1 degrees C, and exceptionally good operational stability. Because of such excellent characteristics, a single-stack red phosphorescent OLED (PhOLED) with p-bPPhenB showed a low driving voltage (2.7 V) and significantly improved maximum power efficiency (56.8 lm/W), external quantum efficiency (30.8%), and device lifetime (LT95, 130 h) compared to those of the control device using bathophenanthroline (Bphen) (3.7 V, 39 lm/W, 27.1%, and 13 h). Furthermore, a two-stack (tandem) red PhOLED using p-bPPhenB in the charge generation unit exhibited superior charge generation as well as electron transport properties and excellent device performances (5.0 V, 54.0 lm/W, 56.1%) compared to those of the tandem device using Bphen (6.2 V, 45.2 lm/W, 53.3%).
