Abstract
Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials facilitate reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) by enhancing the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) process, thereby increasing exciton utilization and significantly improving the efficiency of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). However, the ICT process also results in considerable spectral broadening and diminished color purity in the devices. Here, a top-emission structure is employed to narrow the emission spectrum and improve the light extraction rate. The experimental results reveal that the full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) and color purity based on the first-order microcavity device are significantly optimized compared with the bottom-emitting organic light-emitting diodes (BE-OLEDs). The FWHM decreases from 93 to 33 nm with the external quantum efficiency (EQE) significantly increasing by 61%, indicating superior device efficiency. The FWHM of second-order microcavity devices is further reduced to 21 nm, achieving Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage coordinates of (0.164, 0.761), which is very close to the REC.2020 standard. Our strategy is simple and can significantly improve color purity of the prepared devices, which promotes the applications of OLEDs in high-gamut displays.
期刊介绍:
Dyes and Pigments covers the scientific and technical aspects of the chemistry and physics of dyes, pigments and their intermediates. Emphasis is placed on the properties of the colouring matters themselves rather than on their applications or the system in which they may be applied.
Thus the journal accepts research and review papers on the synthesis of dyes, pigments and intermediates, their physical or chemical properties, e.g. spectroscopic, surface, solution or solid state characteristics, the physical aspects of their preparation, e.g. precipitation, nucleation and growth, crystal formation, liquid crystalline characteristics, their photochemical, ecological or biological properties and the relationship between colour and chemical constitution. However, papers are considered which deal with the more fundamental aspects of colourant application and of the interactions of colourants with substrates or media.
The journal will interest a wide variety of workers in a range of disciplines whose work involves dyes, pigments and their intermediates, and provides a platform for investigators with common interests but diverse fields of activity such as cosmetics, reprographics, dye and pigment synthesis, medical research, polymers, etc.
