Mesophyll and bundle-sheath cells from maize (Zea mays) were examined for delayed light-emission. An enzymic procedure was used to isolate the mesophyll and bundle-sheath cells. A tunable dye laser was used at 695-720 nm to excite delayed light-emission. The mesophyll cells show a typical Photosystem-II dependence on excitation wavelength for delayed light-emission, and this emission was eliminated by hydroxylamine and 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea. The bundle-sheath cells show no delayed light-emission with these excitation wavelengths. Photosystem-I emission was not observed from either cell type, there being no effect of Methyl Viologen on the observed signals.

Organic long-persistent luminescence (OLPL), which relies on energy storage for delayed light emission by the charge separation state, has attracted intense attention in various optical applications. However, charge separation (CS) is efficient only under ultraviolet excitation in most OLPL systems because it requires a driving force from the large energy difference between the local excited (LE) and charge transfer (CT) states. In this study, a multiresonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF) molecule is incorporated into an exciplex system to achieve efficient OLPL in a composite material activated by visible light via a stepwise charge/energy transfer process.

Inkjet printing technology offers a unique approach to producing direct-patterned pixels without fine metal masks for active matrix displays. Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) consisting of thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters facilitate efficient light emission without heavy metals, such as platinum and iridium. Multi-resonance TADF molecules, characterized by their small full width at half maxima (FWHM), are highly suitable for the requirements of wide color-gamut displays.

Since the emergence of the first green light emission from a fluorescent thin-film organic light emitting diode (OLED) in the mid-1980s, a global consumer market for OLED displays has flourished over the past few decades. This growth can primarily be attributed to the development of noble metal phosphorescent emitters that facilitated remarkable gains in electrical conversion efficiency, a broadened color gamut, and vibrant image quality for OLED displays. Despite these achievements, the limited abundance of noble metals in the Earth's crust has spurred ongoing efforts to discover cost-effective electroluminescent materials.

White light emission (WLE) via dual thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) from a single-component-based organic system remains challenging as a result of the difficulty in design. Here, we introduce a conformational isomerization approach to achieve WLE from a twisted donor-acceptor (PTzQP1) that comprises two phenothiazines covalently attached to the 6,8-isomeric positions of 2,4-diphenyl quinoline via two C-N single bonds. Spectroscopic studies and quantum chemistry calculations revealed that PTzQP1 shows WLE via simultaneous blue TADF and orange TADF covering the visible range (420-800 nm) with a photoluminescence quantum yield of 45 ± 2% and Commission Internationale de l'Éclairage (CIE) coordinates of 0.
