Ultrahighly-efficient and pure deep-blue thermally activated delayed fluorescence organic light-emitting devices based on dimethylacridine/thioxanthene-S,S-dioxide

초록

A novel deep-blue emissive dopant material, 2,7-bis(9,9-dimethylacridine-10(9H)-yl)-9,9-diphenyl-9H-thioxanthene 10-,10-dioxide (DMA-ThX), is synthesized for use in highly-efficient thermally activated delayed fluorescence organic light-emitting devices (TADF OLEDs). The molecular design of DMA-ThX retains the overlap between the lowest singlet excited state (S-1) and the lowest triplet excited state (T-1) because of its twisted molecular structure. From photoluminescence emission measurements at low temperature, the difference between the S-1 and the T-1 energy levels of DMA-ThX is found to be 0.07 eV. Furthermore, the external quantum efficiency of the deep-blue-emitting TADF OLEDs with DMA-ThX-doped bis[2-(diphenylphosphino) phenyl] ether oxide is 18.4%, which is significant, and the Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage coordinates are (0.14, 0.14), indicative of very pure deep-blue emission.
