The article describes three different ways of polymer light-emitting diode (PLED) degradation, caused by damage of the protective layer. The electroluminescence and charge-transport properties of a completely encapsulated diode, the diodes with a leaky protective layer and diodes without encapsulation were compared under long-time exploitation. The studied devices incorporated Super Yellow light-emitting poly-(1,4-phenylenevinylene) PPV copolymer as an electroluminescence component, and (poly-(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly-(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) as a charge-transport layer between the indium tin oxide (ITO) anode and aluminum-calcium cathode. To analyze the PLED degradation mechanism regarding charge transport, impedance spectroscopy was used. The values of resistance and capacitance of the internal layers revealed an effect of applied voltage on charge carrier injection and recombination. The factors responsible for the device degradation were analyzed on a macromolecular level by comparing the plots of voltage dependence of resistance and capacitance at different operation times elapsed.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated low-stress resin-based composites (RBCs) and their stress relaxation mechanisms, comparing them to an experimental low-stress thiourethane (TU) material.
- The experimental composites included a mix of different dimethacrylates and barium aluminosilicate filler, with tests on polymerization kinetics and stress relaxation conducted using advanced analytical techniques.
- Results indicated that TU-modified RBCs exhibited significantly higher polymerization conversion rates and stress reduction capabilities compared to traditional materials, with the TU composites and SDR Flow+ showing the most effective stress relaxation.

The exploration of circularly polarized luminescence is important for advancing display and lighting technologies. Herein, by utilizing isomeric molecular engineering, a novel series of chiral molecules are designed to exploit both thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) and room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) mechanisms for efficient luminescence. The cooperation of a small singlet-triplet energy gap, moderate spin-orbital coupling (SOC), and large oscillator strength enables efficient TADF emission, with photoluminescence quantum yields exceeding 90%.

The construction of single-component, white-light-emitting, conjugated polymers always utilizes fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) for efficient emission. However, the main challenges in developing such materials primarily come from the effects of aggregation states during solution processing and the precise structural control required for the synthesis of compounds. Both aspects can affect the FRET between different lumophores in white-light-emitting materials.

Blue perovskite light-emitting diodes (LEDs) lag behind green and red LEDs, which have made considerable strides in efficiency and stability. The main disadvantage is its unmodulated phase domains and low energy transfer efficiency, which impede the efficiency, optical purity, and operational stability of the devices. Herein, we show that using biomolecule-derived plasmonic nanostructures can significantly promote defect passivation, van der Waals gap reduction, and cascade energy transfer through synergistic small-molecule interactions and localized surface plasmonic contributions, thereby improving the electroluminescence (EL) properties and operational stability.

Magnetic field effects (MFEs) in thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials have been shown to influence the reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) and to impact on electroluminescence (EL) and conductivity. Here, we present a novel model combining Cole-Cole and Lorentzian functions to describe low and high magnetic field effects originating from hyperfine coupling, the Δg mechanism, and triplet processes. We applied this approach to organic light-emitting devices of third generation based on tris(4-carbazoyl-9-ylphenyl)amine (TCTA) and 2,2',2″-(1,3,5-benzinetriyl)-tris(1-phenyl-1-H-benzimidazole) (TPBi), exhibiting blue emission, to unravel their loss mechanisms.
