The synthesis of two isomeric orange-red TADF emitters with similar good PL properties and the demonstration of higher quantum efficiency in an orange-red OLED using oPDM as the emitter suggest the importance of balanced carrier-transporting properties in achieving improved device performance in TADF emitters.
Simultaneously realizing improved carrier mobility and good photoluminescence (PL) efficiency in red thermally activated delayed-fluorescence (TADF) emitters remains challenging but important. Herein, two isomeric orange-red TADF emitters, oPDM and pPDM, with the same basic donor-acceptor backbone but a pyrimidine (Pm) attachment at different positions are designed and synthesized. The two emitters show similarly good PL properties, including narrow singlet-triplet energy offsets (0.11 and 0.15 eV) and high photoluminescence quantum yields (ca. 100 and 88%) in doped films. An orange-red organic light-emitting diode (OLED) employing oPDM as an emitter achieves an almost twice as high maximum external quantum efficiency (28.2%) compared with that of a pPDM-based OLED. More balanced carrier-transporting properties are responsible for their contrasting device performances, and the position effect of the Pm substituent lends to significantly distinct molecular packing behaviors in the aggregate states and different carrier mobilities.
