Regiochemistry of Donor Dendrons Controls the Performance of Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Dendrimer Emitters for High Efficiency Solution-Processed Organic Light-Emitting Diodes.

ABSTRACT: The potential of dendrimers exhibiting thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) as emitters in solution-processed organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) has to date not yet been realized. This in part is due to a poor understanding of the structure-property relationship in dendrimers where reports of detailed photophysical characterization and mechanism studies are lacking. In this report, using absorption and solvatochromic photoluminescence studies in solution, the origin and character of the lowest excited electronic states in dendrimers with multiple dendritic electron-donating moieties connected to a central electron-withdrawing core via a para- or a meta-phenylene bridge is probed. Characterization of host-free OLEDs reveals the superiority of meta-linked dendrimers as compared to the already reported para-analogue. Comparative temperature-dependent time-resolved solid-state photoluminescence measurements and quantum chemical studies explore the effect of the substitution mode on the TADF properties and the reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) mechanism, respectively. For TADF dendrimers with similarly small ∆E_ST , it is observed that RISC can be enhanced by the regiochemistry of the donor dendrons due to control of the reorganization energies, which is a heretofore unexploited strategy that is distinct from the involvement of intermediate triplet states through a nonadiabatic (vibronic) coupling with the lowest singlet charge transfer state.

Blue organic light-emitting diodes realizing external quantum efficiency over 25% using thermally activated delayed fluorescence emitters.

Project description:Improving the performance of blue organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) is needed for full-colour flat-panel displays and solid-state lighting sources. The use of thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) is a promising approach to efficient blue electroluminescence. However, the difficulty of developing efficient blue TADF emitters lies in finding a molecular structure that simultaneously incorporates (i) a small energy difference between the lowest excited singlet state (S1) and the lowest triplet state (T1), ΔE ST, (ii) a large oscillator strength, f, between S1 and the ground state (S0), and (iii) S1 energy sufficiently high for blue emission. In this study, we develop TADF emitters named CCX-I and CCX-II satisfying the above requirements. They show blue photoluminescence and high triplet-to-singlet up-conversion yield. In addition, their transition dipole moments are horizontally oriented, resulting in further increase of their electroluminescence efficiency. Using CCX-II as an emitting dopant, we achieve a blue OLED showing a high external quantum efficiency of 25.9%, which is one of the highest EQEs in blue OLEDs reported previously.

Design of efficient thermally activated delayed fluorescence blue host for high performance solution-processed hybrid white organic light emitting diodes.

Project description:Developing a solution-processible blue thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitter for hybrid white organic light emitting diodes (WOLEDs) is still a challenge. In this work, two TADF blue emitters are designed and synthesized to explore a common strategy to qualify the small molecular TADF material as a solution-processible blue host. Systematic studies find that the molecular encapsulation by introducing unconjugated carbazoles as steric shields not only keeps the intrinsic TADF feature unchanged, but also effectively suppress the intermolecular interaction induced exciton quenching, which makes the material more efficient for solution-processing. The optimized solution-processed hybrid WOLEDs based on the encapsulated TADF blue host realized a highly efficient device performance with a maximum current efficiency (CE), power efficiency (PE) and external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 45.6 cd A-1, 40.9 lm W-1 and 17.0%, respectively, which are three times higher in device efficiency and twenty times higher in device lifetime than the corresponding device with an unencapsulated TADF blue host. Furthermore, the obtained device exhibits a high electroluminescence (EL) above 20?000 cd m-2 and a stable EL spectrum with nearly unchanged Commission International de L'Eclairage (CIE) coordinate at a wide range of applied voltages. These results clearly demonstrate that the molecular encapsulation of the TADF blue host is a superior and promising strategy to achieve high performance and color stable solution-processed hybrid WOLEDs.

Mulifunctional Dendritic Emitter: Aggregation-Induced Emission Enhanced, Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescent Material for Solution-Processed Multilayered Organic Light-Emitting Diodes.

Project description:Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials emerged as promising light sources in third generation organic light-emitting diodes (OLED). Much effort has been invested for the development of small molecular TADF materials and vacuum process-based efficient TADF-OLEDs. In contrast, a limited number of solution processable high-molecular weight TADF materials toward low cost, large area, and scalable manufacturing of solution processed TADF-OLEDs have been reported so far. In this context, we report benzophenone-core carbazole dendrimers (GnB, n?=?generation) showing TADF and aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) properties along with alcohol resistance enabling further solution-based lamination of organic materials. The dendritic structure was found to play an important role for both TADF and AIEE activities in the neat films. By using these multifunctional dendritic emitters as non-doped emissive layers, OLED devices with fully solution processed organic multilayers were successfully fabricated and achieved maximum external quantum efficiency of 5.7%.

High-Efficiency Diphenylpyrimidine Derivatives Blue Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Organic Light-Emitting Diodes.

Project description:Organic light-emitting diodes with thermally activated delayed fluorescence emitter have been developed with highly twisted donor-acceptor configurations and color-pure blue emitters. Synthesized 4-(4-(4,6-diphenylpyrimidin-2-yl)phenyl)-10H-spiro[acridine-9,9'-fluorene] (4,6-PhPMAF) doped device with spiroacridine as a donor unit and diphenylpyrimidine as acceptor exhibits the device characteristics such as the luminescence, external quantum efficiencies, current efficiencies, and power efficiencies corresponding to 213 cd/m2, 2.95%, 3.27 cd/A, and 2.94 lm/W with Commission International de l'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.15, 0.11) in 4,6-PhPMAF-doped DPEPO emitter. The reported 10-(4-(2,6-diphenylpyrimidin-4-yl)phenyl)-10H-spiro[acridine-9,9'-fluorene] (2,6-PhPMAF) doped device exhibit high device performance with 1,445 cd/m2, 12.38%, 19.6 cd/A, and 15.4 lm/W, which might be originated from increased internal quantum efficiency by up-converted triplet excitons to the singlet state with relatively smaller ?E ST of 0.17 eV and higher reverse intersystem crossing rate (k RISC) of 1.0 ×108/s in 2,6-PhPMAF than 0.27 eV and 3.9 ×107/s in 4,6-PhPMAF. Despite low performance of 4,6-PhPMAF doped device, synthesized 4,6-PhPMAF has better color purity as a deep-blue emission with y axis (0.11) than reported 2,6-PhPMAF with y axis (0.19) in CIE coordinate. The synthesized 4,6-PhPMAF has higher thermal stability of any transition up to 300°C and decomposition temperature with only 5% weight loss in 400°C than reported 2,6-PhPMAF. The maximum photoluminescence emission of 4,6-PhPMAF in various solvents appeared at 438 nm, which has blue shift about 20 nm than that of 2,6-PhPMAF, which contributes deep-blue emission in synthesized 4,6-PhPMAF.

Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Host for High Performance Organic Light-Emitting Diodes.

Project description:Thermally activated delayed florescence (TADF) materials can be an efficient host in organic LED (OLED). It is because it is possible to couple energetically the emission energy level of a dopant to the energy levels in the TADF material. In this work fluorescent emitters 2,3,6,7-tetrahydro-1,1,7,7,-tetramethyl-1H,5?H,11H-10-(2-benzothiazolyl)quinolizino-9,9a,1gh coumarin (c545t) and 5,6,11,12-tetraphenyltetracene (rubrene) were used as dopants in a blended TADF host; tris(4-carbazoyl-9-ylphenyl)amine (TCTA) with 2,4,6-tris(3'-(pyridin-3-yl)biphenyl-3-yl)-1,3,5-triazine (Tm3PyBPZ). The blended TADF host has an energy difference between the singlet and triplet excited states (?EST) around 27?meV with the yield of reverse intersystem crossing (?RISC) nearly 100%. This high ?RISC yield enhances the OLED performance with the c545t doped OLED having 11.9% external quantum efficiency and 10% for the rubrene doped OLED.

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.

Double boron-embedded multiresonant thermally activated delayed fluorescent materials for organic light-emitting diodes.

Project description:The subclass of multi resonant thermally activated delayed fluorescent emitters (MR-TADF) containing boron atoms has garnered significant attention in the field of organic light emitting diode (OLED) research. Among boron-based MR-TADF emitters, double boron-embedded MR-TADF (DB-MR-TADF) emitters show excellent electroluminescence performances with high photoluminescence quantum yields, narrow band emission, and beneficially small singlet-triplet energy levels in all the full-color gamut regions. This article reviews recent progress in DB-MR-TADF emitters, with particular attention to molecular design concepts, synthetic routes, optoelectronic properties, and OLED performance, giving future prospects for real-world applications.

All solution-processed stable white quantum dot light-emitting diodes with hybrid ZnO@TiO? as blue emitters.

Project description:White quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QD-LEDs) have been a promising candidate for high-efficiency and color-saturated displays. However, it is challenging to integrate various QD emitters into one device and also to obtain efficient blue QDs. Here, we report a simply solution-processed white QD-LED using a hybrid ZnO@TiO? as electron injection layer and ZnCdSeS QD emitters. The white emission is obtained by integrating the yellow emission from QD emitters and the blue emission generated from hybrid ZnO@TiO? layer. We show that the performance of white QD-LEDs can be adjusted by controlling the driving force for hole transport and electroluminescence recombination region via varying the thickness of hole transport layer. The device is demonstrated with a maximum luminance of 730 cd/m(2) and power efficiency of 1.7 lm/W, exhibiting the Commission Internationale de l'Enclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.33, 0.33). The unencapsulated white QD-LED has a long lifetime of 96 h at its initial luminance of 730 cd/m(2), primarily due to the fact that the device with hybrid ZnO@TiO? has low leakage current and is insensitive to the oxygen and the moisture. These results indicate that hybrid ZnO@TiO? provides an alternate and effective approach to achieve high-performance white QD-LEDs and also other optoelectronic devices.

Using fluorene to lock electronically active moieties in thermally activated delayed fluorescence emitters for high-performance non-doped organic light-emitting diodes with suppressed roll-off.

Project description:Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) features are hot candidates for non-doped organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), as they are highly emissive in solid states upon photoexcitation. Nevertheless, not every AIE-TADF emitter in the past had guaranteed decent efficiencies in non-doped devices, indicating that the AIE character alone does not necessarily afford ideal non-doped TADF emitters. As intermolecular electron-exchange interaction that involves long-lived triplet excitons plays a dominant role in the whole quenching process of TADF, we anticipate that it is the main reason for the different electroluminescence performances of AIE-TADF emitters. Therefore, in this work, we designed two TADF emitters SPBP-DPAC and SPBP-SPAC by modifying a reported less successful emitter BP-DPAC with extra fluorenes to increase intermolecular distances and attenuate this electron-exchange interaction. With the fluorene lock as steric hindrance, SPBP-DPAC and SPBP-SPAC exhibit significantly higher exciton utilization in non-doped films due to the suppressed concentration quenching. The non-doped OLEDs based on SPBP-DPAC and SPBP-SPAC show an excellent maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 22.8% and 21.3% respectively, and what's even more promising is that ignorable roll-offs at practical brightness (e.g., 1000 and 5000 cd m-2) were realized. These results reveal that locking the phenyl rings as steric hindrance can not only enhance the molecular rigidity, but also cause immediate relief of concentration quenching, and result in significant performance improvement under non-doped conditions. Our approach proposes a feasible molecular modification strategy for AIE-TADF emitters, potentially increasing their applicability in OLEDs.

Promising operational stability of high-efficiency organic light-emitting diodes based on thermally activated delayed fluorescence.

Project description:Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are attractive for next-generation displays and lighting applications because of their potential for high electroluminescence (EL) efficiency, flexibility and low-cost manufacture. Although phosphorescent emitters containing rare metals such as iridium or platinum produce devices with high EL efficiency, these metals are expensive and their blue emission remains unreliable for practical applications. Recently, a new route to high EL efficiency using materials that emit through thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) was demonstrated. However, it is unclear whether devices that emit through TADF, which originates from the contributions of triplet excitons, are reliable. Here we demonstrate highly efficient, stable OLEDs that emit via TADF by controlling the position of the carrier recombination zone, resulting in projected lifetimes comparable to those of tris(2-phenylpyridinato)iridium(III)-based reference OLEDs. Our results indicate that TADF is intrinsically stable under electrical excitation and optimization of the surrounding materials will enhance device reliability.
