Blue organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) continue to face significant challenges due to the scarcity of stable and efficient blue‐emitting materials. This study presents four fluorescent blue emitters based on a pyrene core with high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) and longevity. By incorporating these emitters as dopants in anthracene‐based hosts with highly efficient triplet–triplet annihilation, we achieved blue OLEDs with a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 8.9% and a champion LT 70 lifetime (decay to 70% of an initial luminance at 1000 cd/m 2 ) of 111.6 h. Furthermore, we combined the blue emitters with yellow, green, and red phosphorescent emitters to obtain white OLEDs with a maximum EQE of 17.2% and a color rendering index of 88. Our results highlight the potential of these blue emitters in boosting the performance of both blue and white OLEDs.
