Sensitized Fluorescence Organic Light-Emitting Diodes with Reduced Efficiency Roll-Off

Abstract Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF)-sensitized fluorescence is a promising strategy to maintain the advantage of TADF materials and fluorescent materials. Nevertheless, the delayed lifetime of the TADF sensitizer is still relatively long, which causes heavy efficiency...

description Abstract Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF)-sensitized fluorescence is a promising strategy to maintain the advantage of TADF materials and fluorescent materials. Nevertheless, the delayed lifetime of the TADF sensitizer is still relatively long, which causes heavy efficiency roll-off. Here we reported a valid tactic to construct fluorescent devices with low-efficiency roll-off by utilizing the TADF sensitizer with a reduced delayed lifetime. By the construction of the sensitization system, the energy transfer efficiency can reach up to 90%. The high-energy transfer efficiency and the TADFʼs short delayed lifetime result in high sensitization over 95% and the maximum external quantum efficiency of 16.2%. Meanwhile, the TADF-sensitized fluorescent devices exhibit reduced efficiency roll-off with an “onset” current density of 23 mA · cm−2. Our results provide an effective strategy to reduce the efficiency roll-off of the TADF sensitization system.
