High-color-purity emissions with small af ull-width at half-maximum (FWHM) are an ongoing pursuit for highresolution displays.T hough the flourishment of narrow-band emissive materials with multi-resonance induced thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF) in the blue region, such materials have not validated their potential in other color regions.Byamplifying the influence of skeleton and peripheral units,as eries of highly efficient green-emitting MR-TADF materials are firstly reported. Peripheral units with electrondeficit properties can significantly narrowt he energy gap for bathochromic emission without compromising the color fidelity.MR-TADF emitters with photo-luminance quantum yields of above9 0% with FWHMs of 25 nm are developed. The corresponding organic light-emitting diodes showm aximum external quantum efficiency/ power efficiency of 22.02 %/ 69.82 lm W À1 with excellent long-term stability.Supportinginformation and the ORCID identification number(s) for the author(s) of this article can be found under: https://doi.
Efficient organic emitters in the deep‐red region are rare due to the “energy gap law”. Herein, multiple boron (B)‐ and nitrogen (N)‐atoms embedded polycyclic heteroaromatics featuring hybridized π‐bonding/ non‐bonding molecular orbitals are constructed, providing a way to overcome the above luminescent boundary. The introduction of B‐phenyl‐B and N‐phenyl‐N structures enhances the electronic coupling of those para‐positioned atoms, forming restricted π‐bonds on the phenyl‐core for delocalized excited states and thus a narrow energy gap. The mutually ortho‐positioned B‐ and N‐atoms also induce a multi‐resonance effect on the peripheral skeleton for the non‐bonding orbitals, creating shallow potential energy surfaces to eliminate the high‐frequency vibrational quenching. The corresponding deep‐red emitters with peaks at 662 and 692 nm exhibit narrow full‐width at half‐maximums of 38 nm, high radiative decay rates of ca. 108 s−1, ≈100 % photo‐luminescence quantum yields and record‐high maximum external quantum efficiencies of ca. 28 % in a normal planar organic light‐emitting diode structure, simultaneously.
The design and preparation of metal-free organic materials that exhibit room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) is a very attractive topic owing to potential applications in organic optoelectronic devices. Herein, we present a facile approach to efficient and long-lived organic RTP involving the doping of N-phenylnaphthalen-2-amine (PNA) or its derivatives into a crystalline 4,4'-dibromobiphenyl (DBBP) matrix. The resulting materials showed strong and persistent RTP emission with a quantum efficiency of approximately 20 % and a lifetime of a few to more than 100 milliseconds. Bright white dual emission containing blue fluorescence and yellowish-green RTP from the PNA-doped DBBP crystals was also confirmed by Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (x=0.29-0.31, y=0.38-0.41).
The design and synthesis of organic materials with a narrow emission band in the longer wavelength region beyond 510 nm remain a great challenge. For constructing narrowband green emitters, we propose a unique molecular design strategy based on frontier molecular orbital engineering (FMOE), which can integrate the advantages of a twisted donor–acceptor (D‐A) structure and a multiple resonance (MR) delayed fluorescence skeleton. Attaching an auxiliary donor to a MR skeleton leads to a novel molecule with twisted D‐A and MR structure characteristics. Importantly, a remarkable red‐shift of the emission maximum and a narrowband spectrum are achieved simultaneously. The target molecule has been employed as an emitter to fabricate green organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) with Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.23, 0.69) and a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 27.0 %.
