Evaporation- and Solution-Process-Feasible Highly Efficient Thianthrene-9,9',10,10'-Tetraoxide-Based Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Emitters with Reduced Efficiency Roll-Off.

Abstract

Two novel evaporation- and solution-process-feasible thermally activated delayed fluorescence emitters, green-light-emission ACRDSO2 and yellow-light-emission PXZDSO2, based on a brand-new electron-acceptor moiety thianthrene-9,9',10,10'-tetraoxide, are developed for organic light-emitting diodes. The solution-processed devices, without any hole-transport layer, exhibit competitive performance and reduced efficiency roll-off compared with corresponding vacuum-deposited devices.
