Multi-resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF) materials hold great promise for advanced high-resolution organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays. However, persistent challenges, such as severe aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) and slow spin-flip, hinder their optimal performance. We propose a synergetic steric-hindrance excited-state modulation strategy MR-TADF emitters, which is demonstrated by two blue IDAD-BNCz TIDAD-BNCz, bearing sterically demanding 8,8-diphenyl-8H-indolo[3,2,1-de]acridine (IDAD) 3,6-di-tert-butyl-8,8-diphenyl-8H-indolo[3,2,1-de]acridine (TIDAD), respectively. These rigid bulky IDAD/TIDAD moieties, with appropriate electron-donating capabilities, not only effectively mitigate ACQ, ensuring efficient luminescence across broad range of dopant concentrations, but also induce high-lying charge-transfer excited states that facilitate triplet-to-singlet spin-flip without causing undesired emission redshift or spectral broadening. Consequently, implementation high doping level resulted in highly narrowband electroluminescence, featuring remarkable full-width at half-maximum 34 nm record-setting external quantum efficiencies 34.3 % 31.8 maximum 100 cd m

Abstract B/N‐based multi‐resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR‐TADF) emitters and the corresponding narrow band emissive organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) exhibit great potential for next‐generation high‐resolution displays. Nonetheless, designing MR‐TADF with emission wavelength over 550 nm remains challenging. Herein, an effective approach toward yellow‐to‐orange by integrating a strong electron‐donating indolophenazine building block into B/N‐doped polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons is proposed. The investigation of photophysical properties reveals that difference between donor segments MR framework has dramatic influence on luminescent features, including full‐width at half‐maximum (FWHM). These TADF display excellent characteristics such as near‐unity photoluminescence quantum yields almost 100% horizontal dipole ratio. As result, yellow orange OLEDs employing these achieve state‐of‐the‐art device performances ultrahigh external efficiency up to nearly 40%, power 163 lm W −1 , luminance close 120 000 cd m −2 which set record among based peaks nm. More impressively, fabricated presents outstanding operational stability LT 99 110 h initial brightness 3000 .

Narrow-band emission is essential for applicable circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) active materials in ultrahigh-definition CP-OLEDs. One of the most promising classes CPL molecules, helicenes, however, typically exhibit broad with a large Stokes shift. We present, herein, design strategy capitalizing on intramolecular donor-acceptor interactions between nitrogen and boron atoms to address this issue. 1,4-B,N-embedded configurationally stable single- double helicenes were synthesized straightforwardly. Both show unprecedentedly narrow fluorescence bands (full width at half maximum 17-28 nm, 0.07-0.13 eV) along high quantum yields (72-85 %).
