Function Achieved in This Case
The use of the condensed cyclic compound leads to enhanced luminance and response speed, supporting the development of high-performance organic light-emitting devices suitable for advanced display applications.
Implementation Method 1
Holes provided from the first electrode move toward the emission layer through the hole transport region, and electrons provided from the second electrode move toward the emission layer through the electron transport region. Carriers, such as the holes and electrons, recombine in the emission layer to produce excitons. The excitons transition from an excited state to a ground state, thereby generating light.
Implementation Method 2
In an embodiment, the condensed cyclic compound in the emission layer may be a thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitter, and the emission layer may emit delayed fluorescence.
