Herein, new deep-blue triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA) molecules, namely 4-(10-(4-(1,4,5-triphenyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)phenyl)anthracen-9-yl)benzonitrile (TPIAnCN) and 4-(12-(4-(1,4,5-triphenyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)phenyl)chrysen-6-yl)benzonitrile (TPIChCN), are designed, synthesized, and investigated as emitters for organic light-emitting diodes (OLED). TPIAnCN and TPIChCN are composed of polyaromatic hydrocarbons of anthracene (An) and chrysene (Ch) as the cores functionalized with tetraphenylimidazole (TPI) and benzonitrile (CN) moieties, respectively. The experimental and theoretical results verify their excellent thermal properties, photophysical properties, as well as electrochemical properties. Particularly, their emissions are in the deep blue region, with TTA emissions being observed in their thin films. By utilization of these molecules as emitters, deep blue TTA OLEDs with CIE coordinates of (0.15, 0.05), high external quantum efficiency of 6.84%, and high exciton utilization efficiency (η) of 48% were fabricated. This result manifests the potential use of chrysene as an alternate building block to formulate new TTA molecules for accomplishing high-performance TTA OLEDs.

The realization of highly operationally stable blue organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) is a challenge in both academia and industry. This paper describes the development of anthracene-dibenzofuran host materials, 2-(10-(naphthalen-1-yl)anthracen-9-yl)naphtho[2,3-b]benzofuran (Host 1) and 2-(10-([1,1'-biphenyl]-2-yl)anthracen-9-yl)naphtho[2,3-b]benzofuran (Host 2), namely for use in the emissive layer of an OLED stack. A multiple-resonance thermally activated delayed serves as the blue fluorescence emitter and exhibits an initial luminance of 1000 cd m and long operational stability (i.

Phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (PHOLEDs) feature high efficiency, brightness and colour tunability suitable for both display and lighting applications. However, overcoming the short operational lifetime of blue PHOLEDs remains one of the most challenging high-value problems in the field of organic electronics. Their short lifetimes originate from the annihilation of high-energy, long-lived blue triplets that leads to molecular dissociation.

As promising luminescent materials for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), thermally activated delayed fluorescence materials are booming vigorously in recent years, but robust blue ones still remain challenging. Herein, we report three highly efficient blue and deep-blue delayed fluorescence materials comprised of a weak electron acceptor chromeno[3,2-c]carbazol-8(5H)-one with a rigid polycyclic structure and a weak electron donor spiro[acridine-9,9'-xanthene]. They hold distinguished merits of excellent photoluminescence quantum yields (99%), ultrahigh horizontal transition dipole ratios (93.

Electroluminescence (EL) from the singlet-excited (S) state is the ideal choice for stable, high-performing deep-blue organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) owing to the advantages of an adequately short radiative lifetime, improved device durability, and low cost, which are the most important criteria for their commercialization. Herein, we present the design and synthesis of three donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D)-configured deep-blue fluorescent materials (denoted as , , and ) composed of a thioxanthone or diphenyl sulfonyl acceptor and phenyl carbazolyl donor. These systems exhibit strong deep-blue photoluminescence (422-432 nm) in solutions and redshifted emission (472-486 nm) in thin films.
