By using the new TADF material as organic host for another green TADF emitter, maximum external quantum efficiency （EQE） of 12.5% has been achieved in simple solution-processed OLED device. Besides, a maximum EQE of 8.9% and 5.7% was further obtained in TADF devices based on 5CzBP as dopant and non-doped emitter, respectively. The simultane- ously acting as efficient TADF host and non-doped TADF emitter provides the potential guidance of the future simple single-layer two-color white OLEDs based on low-cost pure organic TADF materials.展开更多
