Fabrication of highly efficient all thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) white organic light-emitting diodes (WOLEDs) through solution-process still remains a big challenge. Here, two encapsulated TADF molecules with a small singlet triplet energy gap (DEBT) and high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) were designed and synthesized as yellow emitters for solution-processed WOLEDs. The high current, power, and external quantum efficiencies of 41.6 cd A(-1), 30.4 lm W-1, and 17.3% were achieved for the solution-processed all-fluorescence WOLEDs with a single-emission layer. In contrast, even with the same REST and PLQY, the corresponding unencapsulated parent emitters will account for nearly 50% loss of the potential device efficiency. This is for the first time that the small molecular TADF blue host and TADF yellow guest are used to construct solution-processed all-fluorescence WOLEDs, which exhibit high efficiency comparable with most of the vacuum-deposited all-fluorescence white devices. These results not only demonstrate the great potential of TADF emitters in achieving highly efficient solution processed WOLEDs, but also testify the key role of molecular encapsulation in reducing polar-exciton quenching and enhancing electroluminescence performance.
