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

ABSTRACT: 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.

Imidazole Acceptor for Both Vacuum-Processable and Solution-Processable Efficient Blue Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence.

Project description:The members of the imidazole family have been widely used for electron transporting, host, conventional fluorescent, and phosphorescent materials. Although the imidazole core also has great potential as an acceptor segment of deep-blue thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) owing to its high triplet energy, the emission color of imidazole-based TADF organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) has so far been limited to blue to green. In this work, four acridan-imidazole systems are theoretically designed aiming for deep- or pure-blue emitters. All four emitters exhibit deep-blue to blue emission owing to the high energy levels of the lowest excited singlet states, exhibiting y coordinates of Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage coordinates between 0.06 and 0.26. The molecule composed of a trifluoromethyl-substituted benzimidazole acceptor in combination with a tetramethyl-9,10-dihydroacridine donor (named MAc-FBI) achieves a high maximum external quantum efficiency (EQEMAX) of 13.7% in its application to vacuum-processed OLEDs. The emitter has high solubility even in ecofriendly nonhalogenated solvents, which motivates us to fabricate solution-processed MAc-FBI-based OLEDs, resulting in an even higher EQEMAX of 16.1%.

Triplet dynamics reveal loss pathways in multi-resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence emitters.

Project description:Multi-resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF) materials are of interest for light-emitting applications due to their narrow emission bandwidths and high photoluminescence quantum yields. Whilst there have been numerous examples of multi-resonance molecules exhibiting efficient TADF, the photophysics and mechanism of TADF in multi-resonance emitters have not been investigated to the same extent as the more conventional spatially separated donor-acceptor TADF materials, limiting the development of MR-TADF devices. Here we study the photophysics of a multi-resonance TADF material, OQAO(mes)2, using transient absorption spectroscopy to spectrally resolve the triplet population(s). We identify multiple triplet populations with distinct spectral contributions, and resolve the dynamics between them. Unlike conventional donor-acceptor TADF materials that have previously been studied, we find these triplet states are not formed in equilibrium, instead exhibiting a slow evolution from a high-energy triplet to a low-energy triplet. Delayed fluorescence predominantly reflects the lifetime of the high-energy triplet state, indicating that the formation of the low-energy triplet is a loss pathway for TADF. We also find that greater amounts of the low-energy triplet are formed in a higher dielectric environment, which leads to less delayed fluorescence. These triplet dynamics have significant implications for TADF in devices, as depending on the identity of the triplet formed by electrical excitation, there will either be a significant barrier to TADF, or a competing nonradiative decay pathway.

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.

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.

Molecular design of thermally activated delayed fluorescent emitters for narrowband orange-red OLEDs boosted by a cyano-functionalization strategy.

Project description:The establishment of a simple molecular design strategy to realize red-shifted emission while maintaining good color purity for multi-resonance induced thermally activated delayed fluorescent (MR-TADF) materials remains an appealing yet challenging task. Herein, we demonstrate that the attachment of a cyano (CN) functionality at the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital location of the MR-TADF skeleton can promote attractive red-shifted emission due to the exceptional electron-withdrawing capacity of the CN group, which represents the first example of orange-red MR-TADF emitters. Meanwhile, the linear CN group adopts a coplanar conformation with the MR-framework to restrict structure relaxation associated with rotation, which is beneficial to maintain a small full-width at half-maximum and thus a good color purity. The CNCz-BNCz-based OLED device, which utilizes a TADF sensitized mechanism to accelerate the up-conversion process of triplet excitons in the emitting layer, exhibits an outstanding external quantum efficiency (EQE) as high as 33.7%, representing the state-of-the-art performance for orange-red TADF-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.

Highly efficient blue thermally activated delayed fluorescent OLEDs with record-low driving voltages utilizing high triplet energy hosts with small singlet-triplet splittings.

Project description:The high driving voltage of blue organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on emitters with thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) remains a constraint for their portable application. A major reason for this is that the high triplet (T1) of the host required to match the blue TADF emitters would always lead to inferiority in terms of carrier injection. Therefore, a suitable host should possess not only a high T1 but also a relatively low singlet (S1) for improved carrier injection, indicating that small singlet-triplet splittings (ΔESTs) are highly desired. Here, four carbazolyl benzonitrile derivatives are facilely prepared in a one-step approach with restrained conjugate lengths to maintain high triplet energies while their highly twisted structures spatially separate the frontier orbital distribution to achieve relatively low ΔESTs. Meanwhile, the charge transporting mobilities of these hosts are effectively tuned by the different linker types of the host moieties. Consequently, high-triplet-energy hosts with favorable carrier injection/transporting abilities are realized, endowing blue TADF devices with a maximum external quantum efficiency of 21.5%, a maximum power efficiency of 42.0 lm W-1 and an ultra-low onset voltage of 2.8 V. It is noteworthy that a driving voltage of 4.9 V is achieved at a practical luminance of 1000 cd m-2, which is the lowest among the doped blue TADF OLEDs reported until now. This work suggests that manipulation of the molecular topologies not only leads to the flexible and feasible design of novel bipolar host materials, but also affords a promising method for fine-tuning physical properties and thus obtaining state-of-the-art device performances.

Highly Efficient Green and Red Narrowband Emissive Organic Light-Emitting Diodes Employing Multi-Resonant Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Emitters.

Project description:Herein, we demonstrate how judicious selection of the donor decorating a central multi-resonant thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF) core based on DiKTa can lead to very high-performance OLEDs. By decorating the DiKTa core with triphenylamine (TPA) and diphenylamine (DPA), 3TPA-DiKTa and 3DPA-DiKTa exhibit bright, narrowband green and red emission in doped films, respectively. The OLEDs based on these emitters showed record-high performance for this family of emitters with maximum external quantum efficiencies (EQEmax ) of 30.8 % for 3TPA-DiKTa at λEL of 551 nm and 16.7 % for 3DPA-DiKTa at λEL =613 nm. The efficiency roll-off in the OLEDs was improved significantly by using 4CzIPN as an assistant dopant in hyperfluorescence (HF) devices. The outstanding device performance has been attributed to preferential horizontal orientation of the transition dipole moments of 3TPA-DiKTa and 3DPA-DiKTa.

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%.

A Novel Class of Cyclometalated Platinum(II) Complexes for Solution-Processable OLEDs.

Project description:Substitution of the chlorido ligand of cyclometalated [Pt (5-R-1,3-di(2-pyridyl) benzene)Cl] (R = methyl, mesityl, 2-thienyl, or 4-diphenylamino-phenyl) by 4-phenylthiazole-2-thiolate leads to related thiolato complexes, which were fully characterized. Their photophysical properties were determined in degassed dichloromethane solution. The emission color of the novel complexes can be easily tuned by the nature of the substituents on the terdentate ligand, as is the case for the parent chlorido complexes. Their luminescence Quantum Yield is high, with that of the compounds with the 2-thienyl or 4-diphenylamino-phenyl substituents being much higher than that of the related chloride complexes. The platinum complex with the cyclometalated 5-(2-thienyl)-1,3-di(2-pyridyl) benzene was used as the emitter for the fabrication of a yellow solution-processable OLED.
