High Performance Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Sensitized Organic Light-Emitting Diodes

Recently, organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) employing thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials have aroused huge attention in both academia and industry. Compared with fluorescent and phosphorescent materials, TADF materials can theoretically capture 100 % excitons without incorporating noble metals, making them effective emitters and hosts for OLEDs simultaneously. Here, in this review, our recent works on mechanisms and materials of high performance TADF-sensitized phosphorescent (TSP) OLEDs, TADF-sensitized fluorescent (TSF) OLEDs and TADF-sensitized TADF (TST) OLEDs are summarized. Finally, we propose the outlook for the further development and application of TADF-sensitized OLEDs.
