Summary: | In this work, a new luminescent material of a small-molecule stilbene derivative (BABCz) containing anthracene was designed and synthesized by three simple reactions. The material was characterized by <sup>1</sup>H-NMR, FTMS, and X-ray and tested using TGA, DSC, UV/Vis, fluorescence spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy. The results demonstrate that BABCz has luminescence properties with good thermal stability and can be doped with 4,4′-bis(N-carbazolyl)-1,1′-biphenyl (CBP) to prepare highly uniform films, which allows the fabrication of OLED devices with ITO/Cs<sub>2</sub>CO<sub>3</sub>:BABCz/CBP:BABCz/MoO<sub>3</sub>/Al configuration. This simplest device in the sandwich structure emits green light at 6.6–12 V and has a brightness of 2300 cd/m<sup>2</sup>, indicating the potential of this material in OLED manufacturing.
