Reducing operating voltage is the remaining frontier for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) because their quantum efficiency (QE) of electroluminescence has been already maximized. Herein, we report an efficient OLED in which a blight emission equivalent to a luminance of a display is achieved by only a 1.5 V battery. The OLED is based on upconversion (UC) emission utilizing triplet-triplet annihilation occurring near donor/acceptor (D/A) interface. We found that a character of a charge transfer state that is key intermediate for the UC emission could be controlled by D/A interfacial interaction. As a result, parasitic loss processes for UC were greatly suppressed from over 90% to about 10%, and two order of magnitude higher QE than the previous UC-OLED was achieved. Our result demonstrated that the efficient UC could be realized by the management of the energy transfer steps at the D/A interface and utilizing UC emission can be one of the possible candidate for efficient OLED with extremely low driving voltage.

Abstract Bacterial infection and the growth of antibiotic resistance is a serious problem that leads to patient suffering, death and increased costs of healthcare. To address this problem, we propose using flexible organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) as light sources for photodynamic therapy (PDT) to kill bacteria. PDT involves the use of light and a photosensitizer to generate reactive oxygen species that kill neighbouring cells. We have developed flexible top-emitting OLEDs with the ability to tune the emission peak from 669 to 737 nm to match the photosensitizer, together with high irradiance, low driving voltage, long operational lifetime and adequate shelf-life. These features enable OLEDs to be the ideal candidate for ambulatory PDT light sources. A detailed study of OLED–PDT for killing Staphylococcus aureus was performed. The results show that our OLEDs in combination with the photosensitizer methylene blue, can kill more than 99% of bacteria. This indicates a huge potential for using OLEDs to treat bacterial infections.
