The Three-region Method of Color Matching in the Presence of Fluorescent Whitening Agents

An expression of reflectance of fluorescent dyes in emission region was used in this article. Through the analysis of the spectral radiance factor of fluorescent whitening agents(FWA), the color matching of FWA was studied and the three-region method of color matching method was put forward. The method was proved to be reliable for the dyes used and was easy to apply for the color matching of FWAs.

Novel thioxanthone host material with thermally activated delayed fluorescence for reduced efficiency roll-off of phosphorescent OLEDs

2,7-Di（9,9-dimethyl-9H-fluoren-l-yl）-9H-thioxanthen-9-one （DMBFTX） with thermally activated delayed fluorescence （TADF） was well designed and synthesized. The phosphorescent organic lightemitting device （PHOLED） based on this novel TADF host material displays a stable red phosphorescence region, a peak external quantum efficiency （EQE） value of 12.9% and a low EQE roll-off of 38.8%at a luminance of 10000 cd/m2, which is benefited from the reverse intersystem crossing （RISC） of TADF host and less populated triplet exitons. Notably, the red device based on the TADF host DMBFrX exhibits superior electroluminescence performance and reduced efficiency roll-offcompared with the one hosted by commercially available host 1,3-bis（9-carbazolyl）benzene （mCP）, illustrating the high potential of employing the TADF host material with small energy gap to reduce efficiency roll-off in PHOLED.

Effect of Substitution Site on Two-Photon Absorption and Excited States Properties of Lipid Droplets Detection NAPBr Dyes:a Theoretical Perspective

Two-photon fluorescence dyes have shown promising applications in biomedical imaging.However,the substitution site effect on geometric structures and photophysical properties of fluorescence dyes is rarely illustrated in detail.In this work,a series of new lipid droplets detection dyes are designed and studied,molecular optical properties and non-radiative transitions are analyzed.The intramolecular weak interaction and electron-hole analysis reveal its inner mechanisms.All dyes are proven to possess excellent photophysical properties with high fluorescence quantum efficiency and large stokes shift as well as remarkable two-photon absorption cross section.Our work reasonably elucidates the experimental measurements and the effects of substitution site on two-photon absorption and excited states properties of lipid droplets detection NAPBr dyes are highlighted,which could provide a theoretical perspective for designing efficient organic dyes for lipid droplets detection in biology and medicine fields.

Triplet Exciton Transition Induced Highly Efficient Fluorescent Channel in Organic Electroluminescence

The in.jection of charge carriers from the electron/hole injection or transport layers in polymer light-emitting diodes potentially increases the device efficiency not by changing of charge intensity but by lattice distortion variation and quasi-particle interactions. From the low-dimensional condensed matter physics perspective, a valid mechanism is proposed to bring a type of novel channels that, under a proper external electric field, transition- forbidden triplet excitons are transformed and partially charged by charge carriers （polarons/bipolarons）, thus are able to emit light and to enhance fluorescence greatly.

Thermally activated delayed fluorescence carbazole-triazine dendrimer with bulky substituents

Carbazole-triazine dendrimers with a bulky terminal substituent were synthesized,and the thermally activated delayed fluorescence(TADF)property was investigated.Compared to unsubstituted carbazole dendrimers,dendrimers with bulky terminal substituents showed comparable to better photoluminescence quantum yields(PLQY)in neat films.Phenylfluorene(PF)-substituted dendrimers showed the highest PLQY of 81%,a smallΔEst of 0.06 eV,and the fastest reverse intersystem crossing(RISC)rate of∼1×10^(5 )s^(−1) compared to other dendrimers.Phosphorescence measurements of dendrimers and dendrons(fragments)indicate that the close proximity of the triplet energy of phenylfluorene-substituted carbazole dendrons(^(3)LE)to that of phenylfluorene-substituted dendrimers(^(1)CT,^(3)CT)contributes to RISC promotion and improves TADF efficiency.Terminal modification fine-tunes the energy level and suppresses intermolecular interactions,and this study provides a guideline for designing efficient solution-processable and non-doped TADF materials.

Highly Red Emissive Conjugated Homopolymers Based on Double B←N Bridged Bipyridine Unit

Conjugated homopolymers based on six-member rings,e.g.,polyfluorene,always exhibit blue emission and conjugated homopolymers based on five-member rings,e.g.,polythiophene,can give red emission with low efficiency.In this work,we report a series of new conjugated homopolymers based on six-member rings with high-efficiency deep-red emission.The repeating units of the red light emitting homopolymers are double B←N bridged bipyridine(BNBP)with the boron atoms functionalized with diphenyl,borafluorene,and 2,7-di-tert-butyl-borafluorene groups,respectively.The relationship between the chemical structures and the opto-electronic properties of the monomers and the homopolymers has been systematically studied.The three polymers emit pure red light(λ_(max)=656 nm)or deep red light(λ_(max)=693 nm)with fluorescence quantum efficiency in solution higher than 60%.The polymers can be used as the emitters in solution-processed organic light-emitting diodes with red emission and decent device performance.This work indicates a new strategy to design highly efficient light emitting conjugated polymers.

Aggregation structures of organic conjugated molecules on their optoelectronic properties

The intimate connection between stacking modes and optoelectronic properties of organic conjugated materials has been discussed from the viewpoints of developing microscopic models and further understanding of their functions and potential applications.In particular,three basal dimer configurations（cofacial configuration,staggered configuration,and crossed configuration） and their respective optical（including radiative and non-radiative） and electrical properties are expatiated in detail.Eventually,we put forward the perspective on achieving the promising laser material that features high fluorescence quantum yield and charge mobility.
