Abstract Metal-free organic phosphorescent materials are attractive alternatives to the predominantly used organometallic phosphors but generally dimmer and relatively rare, as, without heavy-metal atoms, spin–orbit coupling is less efficient phosphorescence usually cannot compete with radiationless relaxation processes. Here we present a general design rule method effectively reduce transitions hence greatly enhance efficiency of metal-free in variety amorphous polymer matrices, based on...

A series of six luminescent two-coordinate Cu(I) complexes were investigated bearing nonconventional N-heterocyclic carbene ligands, monoamido-aminocarbene (MAC*) and diamidocarbene (DAC*), along with carbazolyl (Cz) as well mono- dicyano-substituted Cz derivatives. The emission color can be systematically varied over 270 nm, from violet to red, through proper choice the acceptor (carbene) donor (carbazolyl) groups. compounds exhibit photoluminescent quantum efficiencies up 100% in fluid...

Abstract Since their introduction over 15 years ago, the operational lifetime of blue phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (PHOLEDs) has remained insufficient for practical use in displays and lighting. Their short results from annihilation between high-energy excited states, producing energetically hot states (>6.0 eV) that lead to molecular dissociation. Here we introduce a strategy avoid dissociative reactions by including state manager within device emission layer. Hot...

We demonstrate efficient light extraction from the active region of bottom-emitting organic emitting devices (OLEDs) using a high refractive index, nondiffractive hemispherical microlens array located between transparent anode and embedded in low index glass substrate (n = 1.5). The subelectrode (SEMLA) results maximum external quantum efficiency 70 ± 4% for green phosphorescent OLEDs (PHOLEDs). Furthermore, wavelength- viewing-angle-independent structure white PHOLED efficiencies 50 3%....

It has long been a challenge to develop highly efficient outcoupling method for organic light-emitting diodes that is independent of wavelength and viewing angle, as well being nonintrusive into the device structure. Here, we demonstrate transparent, top emitting structure integrated with high index refraction waveguide layer rough, dielectric diffuse reflector eliminates plasmonic, waveguide, substrate modes without introducing viewing-angle dependence.

High efficiency solid state lighting devices have the potential to significantly reduce energy usage while also offering good color rendering and longer lifetimes than conventional sources. While organic light emitting diodes are promising candidates for this application, their operational lifetime is limited by blue phosphorescent chromophore. We demonstrate stacked white (SWOLEDs) with (as determined from time it takes lose 30% of initial luminance 1000 cd/m2) up 80000 h. The correlated...

For 15 years, the rapid degradation of luminance over time has rendered blue phosphorescent light emitting diodes (PHOLEDs) too short-lived for many practical applications. To date, studies have concentrated on materials, yet not other parts these devices. The authors develop a method to measure charge and exciton leakage directly time, find that effects are $n\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}o\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}t$ responsible PHOLED degradation---an important revelation shifts our attention...

Charge coupled devices (CCDs), often used for scientific imaging and photography, conventionally comprise an active inorganic semiconductor such as silicon. Organic semiconductors, however, are typically unsuited application due to their low charge mobilities short carrier lifetimes. Here, we demonstrate a CCD using organic materials. It is based on unique channel geometry with relatively high electron very long lifetimes demonstrated by Burlingame et al. (Nature 2018, 554, 77). Repulsive...
