Recent Advances

The design of highly emissive and stable blue emitters for organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) is still a challenge, justifying the intense research activity of the scientific community in this field. Recently, a great deal of interest has been devoted to the elaboration of emitters exhibiting a thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF). By a specific molecular design consisting into a minimal overlap between the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) due to a spatial separation of the electron-donating and the electron-releasing parts, luminescent materials exhibiting small S1–T1 energy splitting could be obtained, enabling to thermally upconvert the electrons from the triplet to the singlet excited states by reverse intersystem crossing (RISC). By harvesting both singlet and triplet excitons for light emission, OLEDs competing and sometimes overcoming the performance of phosphorescence-based OLEDs could be fabricated, justifying the interest for this new family of materials massively popularized by Chihaya Adachi since 2012. In this review, we proposed to focus on the recent advances in the molecular design of blue TADF emitters for OLEDs during the last few years.

Four novel thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials with 9,10-dihydro-9,9- dimethylacridine (DMAC) and phenylindolo(2,3-a)carbazole (PIC) as electron donors and benzazole derivatives (BO, and BT) as electron acceptors (DMAC-BO, DMAC-BT, PIC-BO, and PIC-BT) were designed and theoretically investigated for use as a blue organic light emitting diode (OLED) emitter. Using density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations, we calculated the electron distribution of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO), and the energy of the lowest singlet (S1) and the lowest triplet (T1) excited states. All the dyes had a small spatial overlap between the HOMO and LUMO because of the relatively large dihedral angle between the phenyl ring and the acceptor moiety. In terms of the energy difference (ΔEST) between the S1 state and the T1 state, DMAC-BO and DMAC-BT showed the small ΔEST (0.18 eV and 0.21 eV, respectively). However, PIC-BO and PIC-BT showed the large ΔEST (0.62 eV and 0.61 eV, respectively). Among the TADF materials, we showed that DMAC-BO would have the best TADF properties in terms of small ΔEST and blue OLED emitters

We designed a novel thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) host molecules for blue elec-trophosphorescence by combining the electron acceptor benzimidazole (BI) unit and the electron donor acridine derivatives into a single molecular unit based on density functional theory (DFT). We obtained the energies of the first singlet (S1) and the first triplet (T1) excited states of the TADF materials by performing DFT and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) calculations on the ground state using dependence on charge transfer amounts for the optimal Hartree–Fock percentage in the exchange-correlation of TD-DFT. The DFT and TD-DFT calculations showed that the large separation between the highest occupied molecular orbital and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital caused a small difference in energy (ΔEST) between the S1 and T1 states. The host molecules retained a high triplet energy and demonstrated a great potential for use in blue phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes. The results showed that these molecules are promising host materials for TADF OLEDs because they have a low barrier to hole and electron injection, a balanced charge transport for both holes and electrons, and a small ΔEST.

Highly efficient, operationally stable, and pure-color organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are of considerable significance for developing practical wide-color-gamut displays. Further, we have demonstrated the feasibility of an efficient pure green phosphorescent OLED (PHOLED) by employing a narrow-band platinum complex and a top-emitting structure. The utilization of the thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) material as the phosphorescent host is expected to serve as a promising solution for obtaining operationally stable PHOLEDs with high color purity. However, the emission spectrum of the platinum complex in the TADF host exhibits a considerably broad emission spectrum. This study investigates the cause of the spectral change by evaluating the photoluminescence spectra of the platinum complex in various hosts exhibiting different molecular structures. The triazine unit in the host material was observed to result in exciplex formation between the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of the host and the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of the platinum complex. Therefore, the TADF material that sterically hinders the triazine unit is considered to be suitable to prevent both exciplex formation and spectral broadening.

We designed novel thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials by combining the electron donor 10,10-diphenyl-5,10-dihydrodibenzo[b,e][1,4]azasiline (DDA) with the electron acceptor triphenylphosphine oxide (PO) unit (mDDA-PO and o-mDDA-PO) and compared their characteristics with those of a reference material using 1,3-Bis(N-carbazolyl)benzene (mCP) as an electron donor (mCP-PO) for blue organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Using density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT calculations, we obtained the electron distributions of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) as well as the energies of the lowest singlet (S1) and lowest triplet (T1) excited states. The calculated energy difference (ΔEST) between the S1 and T1 states of mDDA-PO (0.16 eV) and o-mDDA-PO (0.07 eV) were smaller than that of mCP-PO (0.48 eV). The results showed that o-mDDA-PO is a suitable blue OLED emitter because it has sufficiently small ΔEST values, which is favorable in a reverse-intersystem process crossing from the T1 state to S1 states, as well as an emission wavelength of 446.7 nm.
