Solution Overview

Problem

Fluorescent materials used in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) exhibit low emitting efficiency due to the involvement of only singlet excitons in light emission, limiting their performance.

Innovation Solution

A delayed fluorescent compound is introduced, featuring an electron acceptor moiety of triazine and an electron donor moiety of indole derivative fused with a fused hetero-ring, which allows both triplet and singlet excitons to participate in light emission, enhancing efficiency through a charge transfer mechanism that bypasses the Selection Rule.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the emission mechanism parameter from conventional fluorescence to delayed fluorescence by introducing a specific molecular structure with electron donor and electron acceptor moieties. This structural parameter change enables triplet excitons to be converted into singlet excitons through reverse intersystem crossing, allowing both singlet and triplet excitons to contribute to light emission and achieving theoretical quantum efficiency of 100%
