- Abstract
- Boron-based compounds exhibiting a multiresonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence are regarded promising as a narrowband blue emitter desired for efficient displays with wide color gamut. However, their planar nature makes them prone to concentration-induced excimer formation that broadens the emission spec-trum, making it hard to increase the emitter concentration without raising CIE y coordinate. To overcome this bottleneck, we here propose o-Tol-nu-DABNA-Me, wherein sterically hindered peripheral phenyl groups are in-troduced to reduce intermolecular interactions, leading to excimer formation and thus making the pure narrow -band emission character far less sensitive to concentration. With this approach, we demonstrate deep-blue OLEDs with y of 0.12 and full width at half maximum of 18 nm, with maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of ca. 33%. Adopting a hyperfluorescent architecture, the OLED performance is further enhanced to EQE of 35.4%, with mitigated efficiency roll-off, illustrating the immense potential of the proposed method for energy-efficient deep-blue OLEDs.
