Abstract
By doping 2,7‐bis[4‐(N‐carbazole)phenylvinyl]‐9,9′‐spirobifluorene (spiro‐SBCz) into a wide energy gap 4,4′‐bis(9‐carbazole)‐2,2′‐biphenyl (CBP) host, we demonstrate an extremely low ASE threshold of Eth = (0.11 ± 0.05) μJ cm–2 (220 W cm–2) which is the lowest ASE threshold ever reported. In addition, we confirmed that the spiro‐SBCz thin film functions as an active light emitting layer in organic light‐emitting diode (OLED) and a field‐effect transistor (FET). In particular, we succeeded to obtain linear electroluminescence in the FET structure which will be useful for future organic laser diodes.Keywords
