The transient electroluminescence (EL) technique is widely used to evaluate the carrier mobility in the field of organic light emitting diodes. The traditional analog detection strategy using oscilloscopes is generally limited since the background noise causes an underestimation of the mobility value. In this paper, we utilize time-correlated single-photon counting (TCSPC) to probe the transient EL for mobility calculation. The measurements on tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq) show that the electron mobilities obtained using the TCSPC technique are slightly higher than those obtained from the analog method at all the investigated voltages. Moreover, the TCSPC mobilities demonstrate weaker dependence on the root of electrical field compared to the oscilloscope mobilities. These improvements are attributed to the unique principle of TCSPC, which quantifies the EL intensity by counting the number of single-photon pulses, improving its single-photon sensitivity and eliminating the negative impacts of electrical noise. These advantages make TCSPC a powerful technique in the characterization of time-resolved electroluminescence.

The limited operational lifetime of quantum-dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) poses a critical obstacle that must be addressed before their practical application. Specifically, cadmium-free InP-based QLEDs, which are environmentally benign, experience significant operational degradation due to challenges in charge-carrier confinement stemming from the composition of InP quantum dots (QDs). This study investigates the operational degradation of InP QLEDs and provides direct evidence of the degradation process.

Carbene-metal-amide (CMA) complexes are appealing emitters for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). However, little is known about silver(i)-CMA complexes, particularly electroluminescent ones. Here we report a series of Ag(i)-CMA complexes prepared using benzothiophene-fused carbazole derivatives as amide ligands.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the electroluminescence of Cd-based quantum dot devices, noting their high efficiency and long operating life but highlighting a lack of understanding of charge carrier mechanisms.
- Researchers built and tested a simple device, discovering that both luminance-voltage and luminance-frequency characteristics fluctuated with changes in insulating layer thickness; they initially increased, then decreased with rising voltage or frequency.
- The findings revealed that increasing AC voltage advanced the peak luminance in the cycle, while higher AC frequencies delayed it, indicating complex interactions that could inform future developments in improving brightness and device longevity.

Parasitic emission or leakage emission caused by electron leakage to a hole transport layer in quantum-dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) critically impacts device efficiency and operational stability. The buildup dynamics of such emission channels, however, was insufficiently researched. Herein, we investigate transient electroluminescence dynamics of leakage emission in red/green/blue (R/G/B) QLEDs and reveal notable contrast for R and G.

A novel series of excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) emitters, namely, , , and , endowed with dual intramolecular hydrogen bonds, were designed and synthesized. In the condensed phase, exhibit unmatched absorption and emission spectral features, where the minor 0-0 absorption peak becomes a major one in the emission. Detailed spectroscopic and dynamic approaches conclude fast ground-state equilibrium among enol-enol (EE), enol-keto (EK), and keto-keto (KK) isomers.
