Bis(2,4-difluorophenylpyridinato)-tetrakis(1-pyrazolyl)borate iridium(III), FIr6, is commonly used as a blue emitter material for OLED devices.
In terms of colour, purity and quality, FIr6 is more practical for use in full-colour display devices and lighting applications compared to the more widely-used blue phosphorescent emitter, FIrPic . FIr6 shows deeper blue emissions with major vibronic peaks at 458 and 489 nm, while FIrPic has major vibronic emission peaks at 475 and 500 nm.
