High Performances Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Organic Light-emitting Diodes with Wide Gap Phosphorescent Complex as Sensitizer

In this work, we demonstrated the high performances electroluminescent (EL) devices based on orange-yellow thermally activated delayed fluorescence emitter (TXO-TPA) by utilizing an iridium complex (FK306) as sensitizer. Compared with reference devices without FK306, these co-doped devices displayed significant enhancement of EL performances, which could be attributed to optimized carriers' distribution and efficient energy transfer. In addition, the presence of FK306 molecules helps to broaden the exciton formation zone in EML2, thus suppressing the quenching of triplet excitons. Finally, the optimized co-doped double-EMLs device obtained superior EL performances with maximum current efficiency, power efficiency and external quantum efficiency up to 58.94 cd/A, 61.69 lm/W and 16.5%, respectively. Even at the high brightness of 1000 cd/m2, EL efficiency as high as 12.67 cd/A can still be retained by the same device.
