We report blue organic light-emitting devices with iridium (III) bis[(4,6-difluorophenyl)-pyridinato-N,C2’]picolinate (FIrpic) as an emitter doped into a series of phosphine oxide-based host materials that have significantly different charge transport properties: 4-(diphenylphosphoryl)-N,N-diphenylaniline (HM-A1), N-(4-diphenylphosphoryl phenyl) carbazole (PO12), 9-(6-(diphenylphosphoryl)pyridin-3-yl)-9H-carbazole (HM-A5), and 6-(diphenylphosphoryl)-N,N-diphenylpyridin-3-amine (HM-A6). Depending on the nature of the host material, the location of the emission zone can be moved within the emissive layer from the hole transport layer interface to the electron-transport layer interface. The charge transport properties of the materials were evaluated using single carrier devices.
