Abstract
Organic light-emitting
diodes (OLEDs) have emerged as
advanced
optoelectronic devices for next-generation display and lighting applications
due to their flexibility, efficiency, and lightweight nature. This
review highlights recent progress in OLED materials based on perylene,
porphyrin, pyrene, and pyrrole derivatives. These π-conjugated
systems exhibit tunable optical properties, efficient charge transport,
and strong luminescence across visible to near-infrared regions. Key
molecular design strategies, including donor–acceptor engineering,
aggregation control, and structural modification, are discussed. The
role of these materials as emitters, charge transport layers, and
interfacial components is critically analyzed. Device performance
metrics such as external quantum efficiency, luminance, and stability
are systematically compared. Challenges including aggregation-caused
quenching, efficiency roll-off, and blue emission stability are addressed.
Overall, this work provides insights into the design of high-performance,
sustainable OLED materials for future optoelectronic technologies.
