Aggregation-induced delayed fluorescence (AIDF) can be regarded as a special case of aggregation-induced emission (AIE). Luminogens with AIDF can simultaneously emit strongly in solid state and fully utilize the singlet and triplet excitons in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). In this work, two new AIDF luminogens, DMF-BP-DMAC and DPF-BP-DMAC, with an asymmetric D-A-D' structure, are designed and synthesized. The characteristics of both luminogens are systematically investigated, including single crystal structures, theoretical calculations, photophysical properties and thermal stabilities. Inspired by their AIDF nature, the green-emission non-doped OLEDs based on them are fabricated, which afford good electroluminescence performances, with low turn-on voltages of 2.8 V, high luminance of 52560 cd m , high efficiencies of up to 14.4 %, 42.3 cd A and 30.2 lm W , and very small efficiency roll-off. The results strongly indicate the bright future of non-doped OLEDs on the basis of robust AIDF luminogens.
聚集诱导延迟荧光(AIDF)可以被视为聚集诱导发射(AIE)的特殊情况。具有 AIDF 的发光体可以在固态中同时强烈发射,并充分利用有机发光二极管(OLED)中的单线态和三线态激子。在这项工作中,设计并合成了两种具有不对称 D-A-D'结构的新型 AIDF 发光体,DMF-BP-DMAC 和 DPF-BP-DMAC。对这两种发光体的特性进行了系统研究,包括单晶结构、理论计算、光物理性质和热稳定性。受其 AIDF 性质的启发,基于它们制备了绿色发射的无掺杂 OLED,其提供了良好的电致发光性能,具有低的开启电压 2.8 V、高亮度 52560 cd m 、高达 14.4%、42.3 cd A 和 30.2 lm W 的高效率以及非常小的效率滚降。结果强烈表明,基于稳健的 AIDF 发光体,无掺杂 OLED 的前景光明。
