N-Benzoimidazole/Oxadiazole Hybrid Universal Electron Acceptors for Highly Efficient Exciplex-Type Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence OLEDs.

ABSTRACT: Recently, donor/acceptor type exciplex have attracted considerable interests due to the low driving voltages and small singlet-triplet bandgaps for efficient reverse intersystem crossing to achieve 100% excitons for high efficiency thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) OLEDs. Herein, two N-linked benzoimidazole/oxadiazole hybrid electron acceptors were designed and synthesized through simple catalyst-free C-N coupling reaction. 24iPBIOXD and iTPBIOXD exhibited deep-blue emission with peak at 421 and 459 nm in solution, 397 and 419 nm at film state, respectively. The HOMO/LUMO energy levels were -6.14/-2.80 for 24iPBIOXD and -6.17/-2.95 eV for iTPBIOXD. Both compounds could form exciplex with conventional electron donors such as TAPC, TCTA, and mCP. It is found that the electroluminescent performance for exciplex-type OLEDs as well as the delayed lifetime was dependent with the driving force of both HOMO and LUMO energy offsets on exciplex formation. The delayed lifetime from 579 to 2,045 ns was achieved at driving forces close to or larger than 1 eV. Two TAPC based devices possessing large HOMO/LUMO offsets of 1.09-1.34 eV exhibited the best EL performance, with maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 9.3% for 24iPBIOXD and 7.0% for iTPBIOXD acceptor. The TCTA containing exciplex demonstrated moderate energy offsets (0.88-1.03 eV) and EL efficiency (~4%), while mCP systems showed the poorest EL performance (EQE <1%) and shortest delayed lifetime of <100 ns due to inadequate driving force of 0.47-0.75 eV for efficient exciplex formation.

Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence in Commercially Available Materials for Solution-Process Exciplex OLEDs.

Project description:Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have developed rapidly in recent years. Thermally activated delayed fluorescent (TADF) molecules open a path to increase exciton collection efficiency from 25% to 100%, and the solution process provides an alternative technology to achieve lower cost OLEDs more easily. To develop commercial materials as exciplex hosts for high-performance and solution-processed OLEDs, we attempted to use 4,4'-cyclohexylidenebis[N,N-bis(4-methylphenyl)benzenamine (TAPC), poly(9-vinylcarbazole) (PVK), N,N'-Di(1-naphthyl)-N,N'-diphenyl-(1,1'-biphenyl)-4,4'-diamine (NPB), and poly(N,N'-bis-4-butylphenyl-N,N'-bisphenyl)benzidine (Poly-TPD) as the donors and 2,4,6-tris[3-(diphenylphosphinyl)phenyl]-1,3,5-triazine (POT2T) as the acceptor to obtain the TADF effect. All donors and the acceptor were purchased from chemical suppliers. Our work shows that excellent TADF properties and high-efficiency exciplex OLEDs with low turn-on voltage and high luminance can be achieved with a simple combination of commercial materials.

Probe exciplex structure of highly efficient thermally activated delayed fluorescence organic light emitting diodes.

Project description:The lack of structural information impeded the access of efficient luminescence for the exciplex type thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF). We report here the pump-probe Step-Scan Fourier transform infrared spectra of exciplex composed of a carbazole-based electron donor (CN-Cz2) and 1,3,5-triazine-based electron acceptor (PO-T2T) codeposited as the solid film that gives intermolecular charge transfer (CT), TADF, and record-high exciplex type cyan organic light emitting diodes (external quantum efficiency: 16%). The transient infrared spectral assignment to the CT state is unambiguous due to its distinction from the local excited state of either the donor or the acceptor chromophore. Importantly, a broad absorption band centered at ~2060 cm-1 was observed and assigned to a polaron-pair absorption. Time-resolved kinetics lead us to conclude that CT excited states relax to a ground-state intermediate with a time constant of ~3 µs, followed by a structural relaxation to the original CN-Cz2:PO-T2T configuration within ~14 µs.

Enhancing operational stability of OLEDs based on subatomic modified thermally activated delayed fluorescence compounds.

Project description:The realization of operationally stable blue organic light-emitting diodes is a challenging issue across the field. While device optimization has been a focus to effectively prolong device lifetime, strategies based on molecular engineering of chemical structures, particularly at the subatomic level, remains little. Herein, we explore the effect of targeted deuteration on donor and/or acceptor units of thermally activated delayed fluorescence emitters and investigate the structure-property relationship between intrinsic molecular stability, based on isotopic effect, and device operational stability. We show that the deuteration of the acceptor unit is critical to enhance the photostability of thermally activated delayed fluorescence compounds and hence device lifetime in addition to that of the donor units, which is commonly neglected due to the limited availability and synthetic complexity of deuterated acceptors. Based on these isotopic analogues, we observe a gradual increase in the device operational stability and achieve the long-lifetime time to 90% of the initial luminance of 23.4 h at the luminance of 1000 cd m-2 for thermally activated delayed fluorescence-sensitized organic light-emitting diodes. We anticipate our strategic deuteration approach provides insights and demonstrates the importance on structural modification materials at a subatomic level towards prolonging the device operational stability.

Organoboron Complexes as Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence (TADF) Materials for Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLEDs): A Computational Study.

Project description:We report on organoboron complexes characterized by very small energy gaps (ΔEST) between their singlet and triplet states, which allow for highly efficient harvesting of triplet excitons into singlet states for working as thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) devices. Energy gaps ranging between 0.01 and 0.06 eV with dihedral angles of ca. 90° were registered. The spin-orbit couplings between the lowest excited S1 and T1 states yielded reversed intersystem crossing rate constants (KRISC) of an average of 105 s-1. This setup accomplished radiative decay rates of ca. 106 s-1, indicating highly potent electroluminescent devices, and hence, being suitable for application as organic light-emitting diodes.

Solution-Processed OLEDs Based on Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Copper(I) Complexes with Intraligand Charge-Transfer Excited State.

Project description:A new series of tetrahedral heteroleptic copper(I) complexes exhibiting efficient thermally-activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) in green to orange electromagnetic spectral regions has been developed by using D-A type N^N ligand and P^P ligands. Their structures, electrochemical, photophysical, and electroluminescence properties have been characterized. The complexes exhibit high photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs) of up to 0.71 at room temperature in doped film and the lifetimes are in a wide range of 4.3-24.1 μs. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations on the complexes reveal the lowest-lying intraligand charge-transfer excited states that are localized on the N^N ligands. Solution-processed organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on one of the new emitters show a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 7.96%.

Thermally activated delayed fluorescence emitters showing wide-range near-infrared piezochromism and their use in deep-red OLEDs.

Project description:Organic small molecules exhibiting both thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) and wide-ranging piezochromism (Δλ > 150 nm) in the near-infrared region have rarely been reported in the literature. We present three emitters MeTPA-BQ, tBuTPA-BQ and TPPA-BQ based on a hybrid acceptor, benzo[g]quinoxaline-5,10-dione, that emit via TADF, having photoluminescence quantum yields, ΦPL, of 39-42% at photoluminescence (PL) maxima, λPL, of 625-670 nm in 2 wt% doped films in 4,4'-bis(N-carbazolyl)-1,1'-biphenyl (CBP). Despite their similar chemical structures, the PL properties in the crystalline states of MeTPA-BQ (λem = 735 nm, ΦPL = 2%) and tBuTPA-BQ (λem = 657 nm, ΦPL = 11%) are significantly different. Further, compounds tBuTPA-BQ and TPPA-BQ showed a significant PL shift of ∼98 and ∼165 nm upon grinding of the crystalline samples, respectively. Deep-red organic light-emitting diodes with MeTPA-BQ and tBuTPA-BQ were also fabricated, which showed maximum external quantum efficiencies, EQEmax, of 10.1% (λEL = 650 nm) and 8.5% (λEL = 670 nm), respectively.

A thermally activated delayed fluorescence exciplex to achieve highly efficient and stable blue and green phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes.

Project description:The development of a thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) exciplex with high energy is of great significance in achieving highly efficient blue, green, and red organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) for use in full-color displays and white lighting. Highly efficient and stable blue and green phosphorescent OLEDs were demonstrated by employing a TADF exciplex (energy: 2.9 eV) based on 4-substituted aza-9,9'-spirobifluorenes (aza-SBFs). Blue PhOLEDs demonstrated a maximum current efficiency (CE) of 47.9 cd A-1 and an external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 22.5% at 1300 cd m-2 (2.5 times the values of aza-SBF-based systems), with the best blue PhOLED demonstrating a CE, power efficiency (PE) and EQE of 60.3 cd A-1, 52.7 lm W-1, and 26.2%, respectively. Green PhOLEDs exhibited a CE of 78.1 cd A-1 and EQE of 22.5% at 9360 cd m-2, with the best green PhOLED exhibiting a maximum CE, PE, and EQE of 87.4 cd A-1, 101.6 lm W-1, and 24.5%, respectively. The device operational lifetime was improved over 17-fold compared to reference devices because of the high thermal stability of the materials and full utilization of the TADF exciplex energy, indicating their potential for application in commercial OLEDs.

Carbazole/Benzimidazole-Based Bipolar Molecules as the Hosts for Phosphorescent and Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Emitters for Efficient OLEDs.

Project description:A series of carbazole/benzimidazole-based molecules, namely, o-CbzBiz, m-CbzBiz, and p-CbzBiz, were readily synthesized in three steps by integrating carbazole with benzimidazole via the ortho-, meta-, and para-positions of phenyl linked to N-phenyl carbazole. These bipolar molecules exhibited a maximum UV absorption band ranging from 310 to 327 nm and a maximum emission band ranging from 380 to 400 nm. Density functional theory calculations showed that the twist angles between the donor and acceptor moieties of these molecules were from 54.9 to 67.1°. Such a twisted structure hampered the π-electron conjugation within the molecule and resulted in high-lying LUMO levels and triplet energies, which make them suitable to be applied as host materials in OLED devices. Our results showed that a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of OLED reached 21.8% when p-CbzBiz was applied as the host of a green phosphorescent emitter, i.e., Ir(ppy)2(acac). In addition, a maximum EQE of OLED reached 16.7% when o-CbzBiz with the host of a green TADF emitter, i.e., 4CzIPN. Moreover, these devices exhibited lower efficiency roll-off than the CBP-hosted device using the same emitters, which demonstrated the bipolar charge carrier property of carbazole/benzimidazole-based molecules.

High-Efficiency Solution-Processable OLEDs by Employing Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Emitters with Multiple Conversion Channels of Triplet Excitons.

Project description:The state-of-the-art luminescent materials are gained widely by utilizing thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) mechanism. However, the feasible molecular designing strategy of fully exploiting triplet excitons to enhance TADF properties is still in demand. Herein, TADF emitters with multiple conversion channels of triplet excitons are designed by concisely halogenating the electron acceptors containing carbonyl moiety. Compared with the chlorinated and brominated analogues, the fluorinated emitter exhibits distinguishing molecular stacking structures, participating in the formation of trimers through integrating CH···F and C═O···H hydrogen bonds together. It is also demonstrated that the multiple channels can be involved synergistically to accelerate the spin-flip of triplet excitons, and to take charge of the relatively superior reverse intersystem crossing constant rate of 6.20 × 105 s-1 , and thus excellent photoluminescence quantum yields over 90% can easily be achieved. Then the solution-processable organic light emitting diode based on fluorinated emitter can achieve a record-high external quantum efficiency value of 27.13% and relatively low efficiency roll-off with remaining 24.74% at 1000 cd m-2 . This result manifests the significance of enhancing photophysical properties through constructing multiple conversion channels of triplets excitons for high-efficiency TADF emitters and provides a guideline for the future study.
