Abstract

As a promising way to realize highly efficient organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) has been extensively investigated to find various types of host and dopant molecules that have small singlet-triplet exchange energy. In this study, we suggest the ideal combination of host and dopant systems showing enhanced external quantum efficiency characteristics as well as stabilized color behavior based on an ideal doping concentration concept which has been conventionally applied for the realization of highly efficient phosphorescent OLED. For a TADF mechanism, both Förster and Dexter energy transfer mechanisms are required simultaneously. We investigate the TADF mechanism by realizing red fluorescent OLED devices utilizing 4-(dicyanomethylene)-2-tert-butyl-6-(1,1,7,7-tetramethyljulolidin-4-yl-vinyl)-4H-pyran, and 2,3,5,6-tetrakis(3,6-diphenylcarbazol-9-yl)-1,4-dicyanobenzene as dopants.
