Abstract: | A new hyperbranched polymer ( HB‐car ), constructed fully by carbazole moieties, is successfully synthesized through a one‐pot Suzuki coupling reaction. The resultant polymer is well‐characterized, and its hole‐transporting ability is studied carefully. The device, in which HB‐car is utilized as a hole‐transporting layer and tris‐(8‐hydroxyquinoline) aluminum as an electron‐emitting layer as well as electron‐transporting layer, gives a much higher efficiency (3.05 cd A–1), than that of a poly(N‐vinylcarbazole) based device (2.19 cd A–1) under similar experimental conditions. The remarkable performance is attributed to its low energy barrier and enhanced hole‐drifting ability in the HB‐car based device. In addition, for the first time, a field‐effect transistor (FET) based on the hyperbranched polymer is fabricated, and the organic FET device shows that HB‐car is a typical p‐type FET material with a saturation mobility of 1 × 10–5 cm2 V–1 s–1, a threshold voltage of –47.1 V, and an on‐to‐off current ratio of 103. |
