A new hybrid local and charge transfer (HLCT) molecule 2TPA-PPI is obtained for constructing the high-performance organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) in this work. 2TPA-PPI possesses the sufficient emission/charge-transporting properties, thus it is used as a neat emitter achieving an efficient deep-blue OLED with very high external quantum efficiency (EQE) up to 10.7%, as well as a multi-functional emitting host matrix constructing the high-performance phosphorescent OLEDs. More importantly, a high-efficiency candle lightstyle OLED adopting the HLCT/phosphor hybrid strategy is realized, where 2TPA-PPI acts as not only a blue emitter, but also a universal host sensitizing both yellow and red phosphors. This quasi-white OLED represents almost the highest EQE/PE level of 25.2%/49.7 lm W −1 at the practical luminance level of 1000 cd m −2 for the white OLEDs with the excellent color rendering index values of more than 80 reported.
