© 2020 The Korean Society of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry. Three bipolar materials, 4-(4,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-N,N-diphenylaniline (DPAT-Ph), 4-(4,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-N,N-diphenylnaphthalen-1-amine (DPAT-Na), and 10-(4,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-N,N-diphenylanthracen-9-amine (DPAT-An), were designed and synthesized. To achieve a bipolar character, diphenylamine (DPA) moiety and 2,4-diphenyl-1,3,5-triazine (DPT) moiety were introduced as electron donating and electron accepting groups, respectively. The three compounds exhibited UV maximum wavelengths (UVmax) at 395–454 nm and photoluminescence maximum wavelengths (PLmax) at 472–546 nm. 10-(4,6-Diphenyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-N,N-diphenylanthracen-9-amine (DPAT-An) shows AIE phenomenon even though DPAT-An does not have tetraphenylethylene (TPE) moiety which is representative AIE structure. DPAT-An exhibits over EQE value of 5% and long device lifetime of 1310 h without sublimation process
