Abstract Aromatic organic deep-blue emitters that exhibit thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) can harvest all excitons in electrically generated singlets and triplets as light emission. However, blue TADF generally have long exciton lifetimes, leading to severe efficiency decrease, i.e., rolloff, at high current density luminance by annihilations light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Here, we report a emitter employing simple molecular design, which an activation energy well spin–orbit...
