Advanced Functional Materials, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Feb. 26, 2025

Abstract Embedding nitrogen/carbonyl (N/C═O) units into rigid heterocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons creates novel multi‐resonant thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR‐TADF) molecules. Nevertheless, the intrinsic short‐range charge transfer (SRCT) characteristics of N/C═O derivatives, as exemplified by quinolino[3,2,1‐ de ]acridine‐5,9‐dione (QAO), result in broad spectral bandwidths, posing challenging for achieving deep blue emission. Herein, a pentagonal cyclization and isomeric expansion strategy aimed is proposed at modulating SRCT characters molecular symmetry to further narrow bandwidths regulate excited‐state energy levels. By fusing two 8 H ‐indolo[3,2,1‐ ]acridin‐8‐one (IAO) skeletons via central phenyl segment that cyclizes nitrogen atoms, proof‐of‐concept emitters with reduced widths are developed. These achieved wide color tuning range from (439 nm) pure green (520 exhibited 17–24 nm (≈0.11 eV). The corresponding electroluminescence devices demonstrated bright deep‐blue, blue, emissions linewidths. Notably, sensitized deep‐blue/blue incorporating mTIAO pTIAO exceptional external quantum efficiencies 29.6% 34.4%, respectively, representing most efficient blue‐light derivatives reported date. Furthermore, index mTIAO, measured (0.147, 0.063), aligns perfectly National Television System Committee standard (0.15, 0.06).

Abstract Organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) exhibit significant advantages in the fields of ultra‐high‐definition (UHD) displays and wearable devices. However, developing low‐cost, high‐efficiency, high‐purity blue emission materials remains a challenge for academia industry. While thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) meet low‐cost manufacturing needs achieve 100% internal quantum efficiency, their charge‐transfer excited states lead to broad spectra that don't BT.2020 standard. Fortunately, multiple resonance (MR) strategy offers an effective solution creating TADF with high color purity. Through careful structural design precise tuning state energy levels, MR‐TADF can easily full‐width at half‐maximum (FWHM) less than 30 nm. Nevertheless, it still faces challenges, such as severe aggregation‐induced quenching efficiency roll‐off. Herein, this work overviews recent progress devices, introduce representative molecular strategies aimed suppressing concentration quenching, enhancing reverse intersystem crossing rates, achieving deep emission, which will aid future endeavors develop more efficient, stable devices suitable UHD display applications.
