Integrating molecular rigidity and chirality into thermally activated delayed fluorescence emitters for highly efficient sky-blue and orange circularly polarized electroluminescence

Abstract

By integrating high molecular rigidity and stable chirality, two pairs of D*–A type circularly polarized thermally activated delayed fluorescence (CP-TADF) emitters with an almost absolute quasi-equatorial conformer geometry and excellent photoluminescence quantum efficiencies (PLQYs) are developed, achieving state-of-the-art electroluminescence performance among blue and orange circularly polarized organic light-emitting diodes (CP-OLEDs).
