Rapid reverse intersystem crossing and high color purity are vital characteristics of emitters with thermally activated delayed fluorescence in opto-electronic devices. We present a new approach, called “hot exciplexes” that enables access to both attributes at the same time. Hot exciplexes are produced by coupling facing donor and acceptor moieties to an anthracene bridge, yielding an exciplex with large T1 to T2 spacing. The hot exciplex model is investigated using optical spec-troscopy and quantum chemical simulations. Reverse intersystem crossing is found to occur preferentially from the T3 to the S1 state within only a few nanoseconds. Application and practi-cality of the model are shown by fabrication of organic light-emitting diodes with up to 32 % hot exciplex contribution and low efficiency roll-off.

AbstractFast emission and high color purity are essential characteristics of modern opto-electronic devices, such as organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). These properties are currently not met by the latest generation of thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters. Here, we present an approach, called “hot exciplexes” that enables access to both attributes at the same time. Hot exciplexes are produced by coupling facing donor and acceptor moieties to an anthracene bridge, yielding an exciplex with large T1 to T2 spacing. The hot exciplex model is investigated using optical spectroscopy and quantum chemical simulations. Reverse intersystem crossing is found to occur preferentially from the T3 to the S1 state within only a few nanoseconds. Application and practicality of the model are shown by fabrication of organic light-emitting diodes with up to 32 % hot exciplex contribution and low efficiency roll-off.

Purely organic thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitting materials for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) enable a facile method to modulate the emission color through judicious choice of donor and acceptor units. Amongst purely organic TADF emitters, the development of TADF molecules that emit at longer wavelengths and produce high-efficiency devices that show low efficiency roll-off remains a challenge. We report a modular synthesis route that delivers three structurally related fluorinated dibenzo[a,c]-phenazine-based TADF molecules, each bearing two donor moieties with different electron-donating strengths, namely 3,6-bis(3,6-di-tert-butyl-9H-carbazol-9-yl)-10-fluorodibenzo[a,c]phenazine (2DTCz-BP-F), 3,6-bis(9,9-dimethylacridin-10(9H)-yl)-10-fluorodibenzo[a,c]phenazine (2DMAC-BP-F) and 10,10'-(10-fluorodibenzo[a,c]phenazine-3,6-diyl)bis(10H-phenoxazine) (2PXZ-BP-F). They exhibit donor strength-controlled color-tuning over a wide color range from green to deep-red with photoluminescence maxima, PL, of 505 nm, 589 nm, and 674 nm in toluene solution. OLED devices using these TADF materials showed excellent to moderate performance with an EQEmax of 21.8% in the case of 2DMAC-BP-F, 12.4% for 2PXZ-BP-F and 2.1% with 2DTCZ-BP-F, and associated electroluminescence (EL) emission maxima, EL, of 585 nm, 605 nm and 518 nm in mCBP host, respectively.

High-efficiency thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) is leading the third-generation technology of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). TADF emitters are designed and synthesized using inexpensive organic donor and acceptor derivatives. TADF emitters are a potential candidate for next-generation display technology when compared with metal-complex-based phosphorescent dopants. Many studies are being conducted to enhance the external quantum efficiencies (EQEs) and photoluminescent quantum yield of green TADF devices. Blue TADF reached an EQE of over 35% with the support of suitable donor and acceptor moieties based on a suitable molecular design. The efficiencies of green TADF emitters can be improved when an appropriate molecular design is applied with an efficient device structure. The triazine acceptor has been identified as a worthy building block for green TADF emitters. Hence, we present here a review of triazine with various donor molecules and their device performances. This will help to design more suitable and efficient green TADF emitters for OLEDs.
