White Fluorescent Organic Light-Emitting Diodes with 100%Power Conversion

Energy-efficient lighting sources are desired to provide another solution of carbon emission reduction.White organic light-emitting diodes are promising,because of theoretical internal quantum efficiencies for 100%electric-to-light conversion.However,pure organic fluorescent materials still face a challenge in harvesting triplet excitons for radiation.Herein,we report a white fluorescent organic light-emitting diode having an external quantum efficiency of 30.7%and a power efficiency of 120.2 Im w^(-1).In the single emissive layers,we use blue thermally activated delayed fluorescent emitters to sensitize a yellow fluorescent emitter.Transient photoluminescence and electroluminescence analyses suggest that a blue thermally activated delayed fluorescent molecule with~100%reverse intersystem crossing efficiency and negligible triplet nonradiative rate constant completely converts triplet to singlet,suppressing triplet quenching by a yellow fluorescent emitter and ensuring 100%power conversion.

Carbazole-endcapped Spiro[fluorene-9,9＇-xanthene] with Large Steric Hindrance as Hole-transporting Host for Heavily-doped and High Performance OLEDs

In this work, we designed and synthesized a novel spirocyclic compound functionalized spiro[fluorene-9,9＇- xanthene] with carbazole group （2-carbazolyl-spiro[fluorene-9,9＇-xanthene], SFX-Cz） via Friedel-Crafts and Ullmann reaction, which is expected to own high thermal and morphological stability, and good carrier injection/ transporting properties due to the excellent hole transporting characteristics of carbazole and cruciform structure of spiro[fluorene-9,9＇-xanthene]. The carbazole end-capped spiro[fluorene-9,9＇-xanthene] SFX-Cz based PhOLEDs with Flrpic as phosphor emitter have been researched by varying dopant concentration, which exhibit the maximum EQEs of 8.9%, 7.4%, 9.1%, and 4.7% with the doping increasing from 10% to 50%. The higher performance PhOLEDs are independent on concentration variation from 10% to 30%, which suggests the bulky steric hindrance of SFX-Cz might be a potential canditate for high performance and inexpensive device with simplified process.

A Bulky Pyridinylfluorene/Triphenylamine Hybrid Used as Host Material for Heavily-Doped Blue Electrophosphorescent Devices

In this work, a novel molecule pyridinylfluorene/triphenylamine hybrid （TPyFTPA） with bulky steric hindrance effects has been synthesized successfully by substituting 9-（pyridine-2-yl）-fluoren-9-yl with triphenylamine （TPA） via Friedel-Crafts reaction, which possesses good thermal stability and triplet energy （ET） of 420 ℃ with 5% weight loss and 2.86 eV, respectively. Moreover, the bulky steric hindrance material shows high stable morphology by heating to 200 ℃ without finding melting phenomena and crystallization that is demonstrated by differential scanning calorimetry （DSC） curve. The bulky pyridinylfluorene end-capped TPA has been used as host material for blue phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes （PhOLEDs） with maximum external quantum efficiencies （EQEs） of 2.7%, 3.7%, and 3.5%, at the doping ratios of 10%, 30%, and 40%, respectively. The performances of TPyFTPA-based blue PhOLEDs own wide concentration ranging from 10% to 40%, which indicates the bulky TPyFTPA might be a potential candidate for inexpensive products with simplifying process for the applications in full-color display and solid state lighting.
