Based on a p-type scaffold, a novel solution-processable phosphonate functionalized deep-blue fluorescent emitter has been designed and synthesized. The corresponding non-doped single-layer SMOLED shows a peak current efficiency of 0.76 cd A^-1 with CIE coordinates of (0.15, 0.09), which is about three orders of magnitude higher than that of the prototype with tert-butyl substituents.
