Abstract

The design of thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials both as emitters and as hosts is an exploding area of research. The replacement of phosphorescent metal complexes with inexpensive organic compounds in electroluminescent (EL) devices that demonstrate comparable performance metrics is paradigm shifting, as these new materials offer the possibility of developing low‐cost lighting and displays. Here, a comprehensive review of TADF materials is presented, with a focus on linking their optoelectronic behavior with the performance of the organic light‐emitting diode (OLED) and related EL devices. TADF emitters are cross‐compared within specific color ranges, with a focus on blue, green–yellow, orange–red, and white OLEDs. Organic small‐molecule, dendrimer, polymer, and exciplex emitters are all discussed within this review, as is their use as host materials. Correlations are provided between the structure of the TADF materials and their optoelectronic properties. The success of TADF materials has ushered in the next generation of OLEDs.

  41. It is noted that the involvement of RISC in OLED devices first appeared in 2006 in a patent filed by Kawai et al. However the operating principle proposed by the inventors is fundamentally different from the TADF emitters presented in this review which all undergo thermally actived uphill RISC. The inventors' proposed mechanism involves intentionally enlarging the T1–T2gap (e.g. >1.3 eV) so as to decrease the rate of radiationless transition from T2to T so that downhill RISC from T2to S1becomes much more kinetically favourable.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
