We demonstrate very high efficiency electrophosphorescence in organic light-emitting devices employing a phosphorescent molecule doped into a wide energy gap host. Using bis(2-phenylpyridine)iridium(III) acetylacetonate [(ppy)2Ir(acac)] doped into 3-phenyl-4(1′-naphthyl)-5-phenyl-1,2,4-triazole, a maximum external quantum efficiency of (19.0±1.0)% and luminous power efficiency of (60±5) lm/W are achieved. The calculated internal quantum efficiency of (87±7)% is supported by the observed absence

Intermolecular energy transfer processes typically involve an exothermic transfer of energy from a donor site to a molecule with a substantially lower-energy excited state (trap). Here, we demonstrate that an endothermic energy transfer from a molecular organic host (donor) to an organometallic phosphor (trap) can lead to highly efficient blue electroluminescence. This demonstration of endothermic transfer employs iridium(III)bis(4,6-di-fluorophenyl)-pyridinato-N,C2′)picolinate as the phosphor.

We demonstrate high-efficiency organic light-emitting devices employing the green electrophosphorescent molecule, fac tris(2-phenylpyridine)iridium [Ir(ppy)3], doped into various electron-transport layer (ETL) hosts. Using 3-phenyl-4-(1′-naphthyl)-5-phenyl-1,2,4-triazole as the host, a maximum external quantum efficiency (ηext) of 15.4±0.2% and a luminous power efficiency of 40±2 Im/W are achieved. We show that very high internal quantum efficiencies (approaching 100%) are achieved for organic p

Electroluminescence based on TADF, that is, thermally activated delayed fluorescence, is demonstrated in Sn4+–porphyrin complexes. On excitation by a short electrical pulse, prompt and delayed electroluminescence components were clearly observed. The delayed component was composed of both TADF and phosphorescence (see figure), and the TADF component significantly increased with increasing temperature.

Abstract Persistent emission with a long lifetime (>1 s) from organic materials can only be observed at a low temperature, because of the significant nonradiative deactivation pathway that occurs at room‐temperature (RT). If organic materials with persistent RT emission in air could be developed, they could potentially be utilized for a variety of applications. Here, organic host‐guest materials with efficient persistent RT phosphorescence (RTP) are developed by minimizing the nonradiative de

We demonstrate high-efficiency red electrophosphorescent organic light-emitting devices employing bis(2-(2′-benzo[4,5-a]thienyl)pyridinato-N,C3′) iridium(acetylacetonate) [Btp2Ir(acac)] as a red phosphor. A maximum external quantum efficiency of ηext=(7.0±0.5)% and power efficiency of ηp=(4.6±0.5) lm/W are achieved at a current density of J=0.01 mA/cm2. At a higher current density of J=100 mA/cm2, ηext=(2.5±0.3)% and ηp=(0.56±0.05) lm/W are obtained. The electroluminescent spectrum has a maximum

Organic electroluminescent (EL) devices with multilayered thin-film structures which emitted bright blue light were constructed. Two empirical guides for the selection of blue-emitting materials were established. The keys to obtain the EL cells with high EL efficiency were excellent film-forming capability of an emitter layer and the appropriate combinations of emitter and carrier transport materials for avoiding the formation of exciplexes. In one of our organic electroluminescent devices, blue

Efficient thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) was developed in a material based on a phenoxazine (PXZ) electron donor unit and a 2,4,6-triphenyl-1,3,5-triazine (TRZ) electron acceptor unit. An organic light-emitting diode containing this novel TADF emitter layer was fabricated and exhibited a maximum external quantum efficiency of 12.5% with green emission.

The design of efficient and concentration-insensitive metal-free thermally activateddelayed fluorescence (TADF) materials is reported. Blue and green organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) containing a hole-transport layer, an undoped TADF emissive layer, and an electron-transport layer achieve maximum external quantum efficiencies of 19%, which is comparable to the best doped OLEDs.

An afterglow organic light-emitting diode (OLED) that displays electroluminescence with long transient decay after it is turned off is demonstrated. This OLED exhibits blue and green dual emission originating from fluorescence and phosphorescence, respectively. A phosphorescence lifetime of 4.3 s is achieved.

We have succeeded in fabricating a novel thin-film electroluminescent device with a luminescent hole transport layer as an emitter. The cell structure is composed of an indium-tin-oxide substrate, a luminescent hole transport layer (emitter), an electron transport layer, and a MgAg electrode. The most essential feature of our device owes for adoption of an oxadiazole derivative as an electron transport layer. The emission intensity of 1000 cd/m2 was achieved at a current of 100 mA/cm2.

Currently, organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have reached the stage of commercialization, and there are intense efforts to use them in various applications from small- and medium-sized mobile devices to illumination equipment and large TV screens. In particular, phosphorescent materials have become core OLED materials as alternatives to the conventionally used fluorescent materials because devices made with phosphorescent materials exhibit excellent light-emitting performance. However, phosp

An orange-red organic light-emitting diode containing a heptazine derivative exhibits high performance with a maximum external quantum efficiency of 17.5 ± 1.3% and a peak luminance of 17000 ± 1600 cd m⁻² without any light out-coupling enhancement. The high electroluminescence performance can be ascribed to the presence of an efficient up-conversion channel from the lowest triplet state to the lowest singlet state.

The development of efficient metal-free organic emitters with thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) properties for deep-blue emission is still challenging. A new family of deep-blue TADF emitters based on a donor-acceptor architecture has been developed. The electronic interaction between donor and acceptor plays a key role in the TADF mechanism. Deep-blue OLEDs fabricated with these TADF emitters achieved high external quantum efficiencies over 19.2 % with CIE coordinates of (0.148, 0
