[PMID: 31293740 PMCID: PMC6553033 DOI: 10.1039/c9sc01240k] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2019] [Accepted: 04/25/2019] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
The photophysical optimization of donor (D)-acceptor (A) molecules is a real challenge because of the intrinsic limitation of their charger transfer (CT) excited states. Herein, two D-A-D molecules featuring blue thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) are developed, in which a homoconjugated acceptor 5,10-diphenyl-5,10-dihydrophosphanthrene oxide (DPDPO2A) is incorporated to bridge four carbazolyl or 3,6-di-t-butyl-carbazolyl groups for D-A interaction optimization without immoderate conjugation extension. It is shown that the through-space conjugation effect of DPDPO2A can efficiently enhance intramolecular CT (ICT) and simultaneously facilitate the uniform dispersion of the frontier molecular orbitals (FMO), which remarkably reduces the singlet-triplet splitting energy (ΔE ST) and increases FMO overlaps for radiation facilitation, resulting in the 4-6 fold increased rate constants of reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) and singlet radiation. The maximum external quantum efficiency beyond 20% and the state-of-the-art efficiency stability from sky-blue TADF OLEDs demonstrate the effectiveness of the "conjugation modulation" strategy for developing high-performance optoelectronic D-A systems.

Abstract
Throwing light upon the structure-property relationship of the excited state properties for next-generation fluorescent materials is crucial for the organic light emitting diode (OLED) field. Herein, we designed and synthesized three donor-acceptor (D-A) structure compounds based on a strong spin orbit coupling (SOC) acceptor benzo[a, c]phenazine (DPPZ) to research on the three typical types of excited states, namely, the locally-excited (LE) dominated excited state (CZP-DPPZ), the hybridized local and charge-transfer (HLCT) state (TPA-DPPZ), and the charge-transfer (CT) dominated state with TADF characteristics (PXZ-DPPZ). A theoretical combined experimental research was adopted for the excited state properties and their regulation methods of the three compounds. Benefiting from the HLCT character, TPA-DPPZ achieves the best non-doped device performance with maximum brightness of 61,951 cd m−2 and maximum external quantum efficiency of 3.42%, with both high photoluminescence quantum efficiency of 40.2% and high exciton utilization of 42.8%. Additionally, for the doped OLED, PXZ-DPPZ can achieve a max EQE of 9.35%, due to a suppressed triplet quenching and an enhanced SOC.

Abstract
We propose a strategy to construct deep blue emission molecules based on the concept of nonsymmetrical connection of two identical π-conjugated groups. It was demonstrated that the nonsymmetrical connection strategy indeed resulted in the separation of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) and the formation of a donor-acceptor (D-A) structure. For D-A molecules constructed by two identical groups, the degree of charge transfer is weaker and deep blue emission is easily achieved. Two D-A molecules (PIpPI and PImPI) were synthesized by employing diphenyl-phenanthroimidazole (PI) as a building block. The nonsymmetric connection of PI groups endows these molecules with a D-A feature that can result in a bipolar transport property. The nondoped organic light-emitting diodes with PIpPI and PImPI as emitter exhibit deep-blue emission and maximum external quantum efficiencies of 8.84% and 6.83%, respectively.

Abstract
Deep blue emitters with excellent stability, high quantum yield and multifunctionality are the major issues for full-color displays. In line with this, new multifunctional, thermally stable blue emitters viz., N-(4-(10-(1-(2,3-dihydrobenzo[b][1,4]dioxin-6-yl)-1H-phenanthro[9,10-d]imidazol-2-yl)anthracen-9-yl)phenyl)-N-phenylbenzenamine (DPIAPPB) and 2-(10-(9H-carbazol-9-yl)anthracen-9-yl)-1-(2,3-dihydrobenzo[b][1,4]dioxin-6-yl)-1H-phenanthro[9,10-d]imidazole (CADPPI) with hybridized local charge transfer state (HLCT) and hot exciton properties have been synthesized. These molecules show high photoluminescence quantum yield (Φs/f): (DPIAPPB – 0.82/0.70 and CADPPI – 0.91/0.83). The CADPPI based device (EL – 467 nm) shows high efficiencies [ηc – 9.85 cd A−1; ηp – 10.84 lm W−1; ηex – 4.78% at 2.8 V; CIE (0.15, 0.10)] compared to the DPIAPPB device (EL − 472 nm) [ηc – 6.56 cd A−1; ηp – 6.16 lm W−1; ηex – 4.15% at 2.8 V with CIE (0.15, 0.12)].

Abstract
A series of efficient blue-emitting materials, namely, Cz-DPVI, Cz-DMPVI, Cz-DEPVI and TPA-DEPVI, possessing a donor–acceptor architecture with dual carrier transport properties and small singlet–triplet splitting is reported. These compounds exhibit excellent thermal properties with a very high glass-transition temperature (Tg), and thus, a stable uniform thin film was formed during device fabrication. Among the weak donor compounds, specifically, Cz-DPVI, Cz-DMPVI and Cz-DEPVI, the Cz-DEPVI-based device showed the maximum efficiencies (L: 13 955 cd m−2, ηex: 4.90%, ηc: 6.0 cd A−1, and ηp: 5.4 lm W−1) with CIE coordinates of (0.15, 0.06) at 2.8 V. The electroluminescent efficiencies of Cz-DEPVI were higher than that of the strong donor TPA-DEPVI-based device (L: 13 856 cd m−2, ηex: 4.70%, ηc: 5.7 cd A−1, and ηp: 5.2 lm W−1). Furthermore, these blue emissive materials were used as hosts to construct efficient green and red phosphorescent OLEDs. The green device based on Cz-DEPVI:Ir(ppy)3 exhibited the maximum L of 8891 cd m−2, ηex of 19.3%, ηc of 27.9 cd A−1 and ηp of 33.4 lm W−1 with CIE coordinates of (0.31, 0.60) and the red device based on Cz-DEPVI:Ir(MQ)2(acac) exhibited the maximum L of 40 565 cd m−2, ηex of 19.9%, ηc of 26.0 cd A−1 and ηp of 27.0 lm W−1 with CIE coordinates of (0.64, 0.37). The Cz-DEPVI device showed high efficiencies of L: 13955 cd m−2, ηex: 4.90%, ηc: 6.0 cd A−1, ηp: 5.4 lm W−1 and CIE coordinates of (0.15, 0.06) at 2.8 V.![]()

Abstract
A series of carbazole-based dyes functionalized with different auxochromes via vinyl linker have been synthesized and characterized. A progressive shift in the absorption maximum is observed as the conjugation and electron-donating nature of chromophore increases. Dyes containing electron-releasing terminal groups such as triphenylamine and carbazole exhibited positive emission solvatochromism attributable to an induced intramolecular charge transfer from triphenylamine/carbazole donor to cyano acceptor. The superior electroluminescence performance of disubstituted dyes demonstrates the role of an additional cyanocarbazole in achieving balanced charge transport compared to monosubstituted analogues. In addition, the electroluminescence performance of the dyes exhibited trends attributable to the electron richness of the linker/terminal chromophore. Thus, the carbazole-based derivatives displayed better electroluminescence efficiency than the analogous fluorene derivatives. Similarly, 2,7-substituted carbazole derivative exhibited better performance than the 3,6-substituted carbazole derivative. A doped electroluminescent device containing 3 wt % tricarbazole derivative showed blue emission with a high external quantum efficiency of 5.3% at a practical brightness of 1000 cd/m2.

Abstract
The E/Z isomerization reaction of the multi-cyanostilbene molecule is still not clear. Herein, we have designed and synthesized three star-shaped molecular isomers with a triphenylamine core linked to two cyanostilbene groups with E/Z isomerization, Z,Z-TPDCF, Z,E-TPDCF and E,E-TPDCF, possessing three different isomeric molecular configurations, to investigate the specific E/Z isomerization reaction of the cyanostilbene groups in the two molecular arms. The in situ UV, 1H NMR and HPLC spectra under UV-irradiation clearly showed that the E/Z isomerization reactions of both E,E-TPDCF and Z,Z-TPDCF firstly turned them into Z,E-TPDCF, and the Z,E-TPDCF was almost simultaneously turned into more E,E-TPDCF and less Z,Z-TPDCF due to the calculated lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals of Z,E-TPDCF on the cyanostilbene arm with the Z-configuration. In general, Z,E-TPDCF exhibited a relatively better configurational stability than Z,Z-TPDCF or E,E-TPDCF under the photo-irradiation conditions. Further research demonstrated that all three isomers exhibited excellent aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties.

Abstract
The photophysical, electrochemical and electroluminescent properties of newly synthesized blue emitters with donor-π-acceptor geometry, namely, 4'-(1-(naphthalen-1-yl)-1H-phenanthro[9,10-d]imidazol-2-yl)-N,N-diphenyl-(2-[1,1'-biphenyl]vinyl)-4-amine (NSPI-TPA), 4'-(1-(2-methylnaphthalen-1-yl)-1H-phenanthro[9,10-d]imidazol-2-yl)-N,N-diphenyl-(2-[1,1'-biphenyl]vinyl)-4-amine (MNSPI-TPA), 4-(2-(4'-(diphenylamino)-(2-[1,1'-biphenyl]vinyl)-4-yl)-1H-phenanthro[9,10-d]imidazol-1-yl)-1-naphthalene-1-carbonitrile (SPNCN-TPA) and 4-(2-(4-(9H-carbazol-9-yl)styryl)-1H-phenanthro[9,10-d]imidazol-1-yl)naphthalene-1-carbonitrile (SPNCN-Cz) were analyzed. The conjugation length in the emitters is not conducive to pure emission and hence, a molecular twisting strategy was adopted in NSPI-TPA, MNSPI-TPA, SPNCN-TPA and SPNCN-Cz to enhance pure emission. The emissive state (HLCT) of twisted D-π-A molecules containing both LE and CT (HLCT) states was tuned for high PL (η PL) (LE) and high exciton utilization (η s) (CT) efficiencies by replacing triphenylamine (strong donor) with carbazole (weak donor). Among strong donor compounds, namely, NSPI-TPA, MNSPI-TPA and SPNCN-TPA, the SPNCN-TPA-based device exhibited blue emission (451 nm) with CIE coordinates (0.15, 0.08), maximum current efficiency (η c) of 2.32 cd A-1, power efficiency (η p) of 2.01 lm W-1 and external quantum efficiency (η ex) of 3.02%. The device with SPNCN-Cz emitter exhibited higher electroluminescence efficiencies than the SPNCN-TPA-based device, with pure blue emission (443 nm, CIE: 0.15,0.07), η ex of 3.15%, η c of 2.56 cd A-1 and η p of 2.45 lm W-1.

Abstract
In vivo visualization of cell migration and engraftment in small animals provide crucial information in biomedical studies. Semiconducting polymer dots (Pdots) are emerging as superior probes for biological imaging. However, in vivo whole-body fluorescence imaging is largely constrained by the limited brightness of Pdots in near-infrared (NIR) region. Here, we describe the brightness enhancement of NIR fluorescent Pdots for in vivo whole-body cell tracking in deep organs. We first synthesize semiconducting polymers with strong absorption in orange and far-red regions. By molecular doping, the weak broad-band fluorescence of the Pdots was significantly narrowed and enhanced by 1 order of magnitude enhancement, yielding bright narrow-band NIR emission with a quantum yield of ∼0.21. Under an excitation of far-red light (676 nm), a trace amount of Pdots (∼2 μg) in the stomach can be clearly detected in whole-body fluorescence imaging of live mice. The Pdots coated with a cell-penetrating peptide are able to brightly label cancer cells with minimal cytotoxicity. In vivo cell tracking in live mice indicated that the entrapment and migration of the tail-vein-administered cells (∼400 000) were clearly visualized in real time. These Pdots with deep-red excitation and bright NIR emission are promising for in vivo whole-body fluorescence imaging.

Abstract
Interfaces between donor and acceptor in a polymer solar cell play a crucial role in exciton dissociation and charge photogeneration. While the importance of charge transfer (CT) excitons for free carrier generation is intensively studied, the effect of blending on the nature of the polymer excitons in relation to the blend nanomorphology remains largely unexplored. In this work, electroabsorption (EA) spectroscopy is used to study the excited-state polarizability of polymer excitons in several polymer:fullerene blend systems, and it is found that excited-state polarizability of polymer excitons in the blends is a strong function of blend nanomorphology. The increase in excited-state polarizability with decreased domain size indicates that intermixing of states at the interface between the donor polymers and fullerene increases the exciton delocalization, resulting in an increase in exciton dissociation efficiency. This conclusion is further supported by transient absorption spectroscopy and time-resolved photoluminescence measurements, along with the results from time-dependent density functional theory calculations. These findings indicate that polymer excited-state polarizability is a key parameter for efficient free carrier generation and should be considered in the design and development of high-performance polymer solar cells.

Abstract
A novel donor-π-acceptor structure stimuli-responsive fluorescent material of (Z)-2-(4'-(diphenylamino)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)-3-(pyridin-2-yl)acrylonitrile (oN-TPA) was designed and synthesized, with the cyano-group and pyridine as the acceptors (A) and triphenylamine as the donor (D). oN-TPA exhibits an obvious solvatochromic effect and the excited state is confirmed to be a hybridized local and charge-transfer (HLCT) state that simultaneously possesses the locally-excited (LE) state and charge transfer (CT) state characters. The LE state ensures relatively high fluorescence efficiency while the CT state provides multi-stimuli responsive fluorescence behaviors because it is easily tuned by the surrounding environment. Firstly, oN-TPA exhibits "on-off-on" fluorescence properties in the mixture of water/tetrahydrofuran (THF) with the increasing water content. For the "on-off" part, a good linear relationship between fluorescence intensity and water fraction is achieved, which is ascribed to the synergistic effect of protons in water and intramolecular charge-transfer (ICT) effect depending on solvent polarity. The "off-on" part demonstrates the aggregation-induced enhanced emission (AIEE) character of oN-TPA. Secondly, oN-TPA can be used as a protonic acid sensor to detect trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in solvent and HCl vapour in the solid state due to the binding of the proton to the pyridine group. Finally, oN-TPA presents remarkable and reversible mechanochromic fluorescence switching between 552 nm and 642 nm (90 nm red-shift) during the pressurizing-depressurizing process. This work not only comprehensively demonstrates the stimuli-responsive fluorescence behaviors of oN-TPA, but also provides a D-π-A structure fluorescent material possessing potential applications in detection and sensing with remarkable fluorescence changes.

Abstract
Bacteria such as Acinetobacter baumannii (AB) can cause serious infections, resulting in high mortality if not diagnosed early and treated properly; there is consequently a need for rapid and accurate detection of this bacterial species. Therefore, we developed a new, nitrocellulose-based microfluidic system featuring AB-specific aptamers capable of automating the bacterial detection process via the activity of microfluidic devices composed of magnetic-composite membranes. Electromagnets were used to actuate these microfluidic devices such that the entire diagnostic process could be conducted in the integrated microfluidic system within 40 minutes with a limit of detection as low as 450 CFU per reaction for AB. Aptamers were used to capture AB in complex samples on nitrocellulose membranes, and a simple colorimetric assay was used to estimate bacterial loads. Given the ease of use, portability, and sensitivity of this aptamer-based microfluidic system, it may hold great promise for point-of-care diagnostics.

Abstract
A series of blue-emissive 7-(diphenylamino)-4-phenoxycoumarin derivatives bearing -CF3 , -OMe, or -N(Me)2 substituents on the phenoxy subunit were synthesized. Although both the -CF3 and -N(Me)2 modifications were found to trigger redshifted fluorescence, the -OMe substitution was demonstrated to exert an unexpected blueshift color-tuning effect toward the deep-blue region. The reason is that the moderate electron-donating -OMe group can endow coumarins with unaltered HOMO but elevated LUMO energy levels. Moreover, the -OMe substitution was found to be beneficial to the thermal stability of these coumarins. Therefore, the trimethoxy-substituted objective compound can act as a high-performance deep-blue organic light-emitting diode (OLED) emitter, and OLED based on it emits deep-blue light with CIE coordinates of (0.148, 0.084), maximum luminance of 7800 cd m-2 , and maximum external quantum efficiency of 5.1 %. These results not only shed light on the molecular design strategy for high-performance deep-blue OLED emitters through color-tuning, but also show the perspective of coumarin derivatives as deep-blue OLED emitters.

Abstract
Herein, density functional theory (DFT) computations were performed to investigate the discrete dimer of a mono-substituted anthracene derivative (2-TA-AN), which exhibited highly efficient pure excimer fluorescence in its crystal form. As a more practical model, its geometry, potential energy curve and excited state property were systematically calculated to better understand the excimer formation process and photophysical properties. The compressed excimer geometry is responsible for the highly efficient excimer emission, arising from the enhanced rigidity that greatly suppresses its non-radiative vibrations. Potential energy curves along three directions reveal the non-uniqueness of excimer formation along the long axis of anthracene, which is in a good agreement with the experimental findings. Upon decreasing the displacement, the intermonomer charge-transfer (CT) component gradually increased towards an approximately equivalent hybridization with the locally-emissive (LE) state of the monomer during the formation of the excimer. The excimer emission wavelength versus intermonomer CT content shows a similar trend along the three directions, revealing a turning point related to the essential transition of the excited state properties from the LE of the monomer to the HLCT of the excimer. The present results will contribute to the better understanding of the structure-property relationships in excimer formation and photophysical properties.

Abstract
Dual-emission of the enol-forms and keto-forms of 2-(2′-hydroxyphenyl)oxazoles and their application in OLEDs are investigated.
The photoluminescence (PL) and electroluminescence (EL) properties of two highly efficient excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) molecules, 2-(2′-hydroxyphenyl)oxazoles containing one triphenylamine (TPA) (1) and two TPAs (2) respectively, are studied systematically. The enol-forms of both 1 and 2 possess highly hybridized local and charge transfer (HLCT) excited state character, while their excited-state keto-forms are not of obvious HLCT character. A 1-based device exhibits green-white electroluminescence with Commission Internationale d’Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.25, 0.41) and a high external quantum efficiency (EQE) up to 5.3%, which is the highest EQE value recorded for single molecular white light-emitting materials. A 2-based device shows sky-blue emission with CIE coordinates of (0.18, 0.16) and an EQE of 8.0%, which is the highest EQE in the reported HLCT materials. The fluorescence intensities of the enol-forms of 1 and 2 in EL spectra are increased remarkably relative to their PL spectra. Experimental data and theoretical calculations reveal a new ESIPT equilibrium with a reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) process arising from the HLCT character. In EL, the RISC of the enol-form excitons from the triplet state to the singlet state triggers an increase in the number of enol-form singlet excitons, which further leads to a shift of the ESIPT equilibrium towards an enhanced enol-form emission. Thus, the difference between the ESIPT equilibria in PL and EL may be ascribed to the HLCT character of the enol-form excited state.

Abstract
Naphthyl-linked donor–π–acceptor fluorophores were utilized to achieve high performance and good color purity violet-blue emission in organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs).
In this work, we revealed a new approach for the development of efficient violet-blue emitting materials featuring a hybrid local and charge transfer (HLCT) excited state through the incorporation of naphthyl group(s) as a weak n-type π spacer in a donor–π–acceptor (D–π–A) system. The resulting materials (TPINCz and TPIBNCz) show improved intramolecular charge transfer properties and highly efficient violet-blue fluorescence. It is demonstrated that the pattern of the π spacers has significant influence on the photophysical properties. The incorporation of a naphthyl/binaphthyl spacer between the donor and acceptor moieties can alleviate the common dilemma that enhancing device performance by increasing the charge transfer excited properties often leads to red-shifted emissions. A device using TPINCz as an emissive dopant shows a violet-blue emission with CIE coordinates of (0.153, 0.059) and a record high EQE of 6.56 ± 0.11% at a brightness of 1000 cd m–2. To the best of our knowledge, this performance is the highest among the reported devices with CIEy ≤0.08. Our study provides a new pathway for the design of high-performance violet-blue emitters with a D–π–A architecture in organic electroluminescence applications.

Abstract
A deep-blue-emitting sultam-based hetero[5]helicene was synthesized in four steps, and its crystal structure and physical properties were characterized. The helicene displays more than two-fold crystallization-induced emission enhancement as well as atypical blue-shifting of its solid-state emission relative to the solution phase. This rapid synthesis of an unusual sulfonamide-based helicene fluorophore is expected to generate new molecular design options that will help address the ongoing challenges associated with designing pure-blue emitters for organic optoelectronic and sensing applications.

Abstract
In this work, we report the synthesis of a family of donor-acceptor (D-A) π-conjugated aggregation-induced red emission materials (TPABT, DTPABT, TPEBT and DTPEBT) with the same core 2,2-(2,2-diphenylethene-1,1-diyl)dithiophene (DPDT) and different amounts and different strengths of electron-donating terminal moieties. Interestingly, TPABT and TPEBT, which have asymmetric structures, give obviously higher solid fluorescence quantum efficiencies in comparison with those of the corresponding symmetric structures, DTPABT and DTPEBT, respectively. In particular, the thin film of TPEBT exhibited the highest fluorescence quantum efficiency of ca. 38% with the highest αAIE. Moreover, TPEBT and DTPEBT with TPE groups showed two-photon absorption cross-sections of (δ) 1.75 × 103 GM and 1.94 × 103 GM at 780 nm, respectively, which are obviously higher than the other two red fluorescent materials with triphenylamine groups. Then, the one-photon and two-photon fluorescence imaging of MCF-7 breast cancer cells and Hela cells, and cytotoxicity experiments, were carried out with these red fluorescent materials. Intense intracellular red fluorescence was observed for all the molecules using one-photon excitation and for TPABT using two-photon excitation in the cell cytoplasm. Finally, TPEBT is biocompatible and functions well in mouse brain blood vascular visualization. It is indicated that these materials can be used as a specific stain fluorescent probe for live cell imaging.

Abstract
The high driving voltage of blue organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on emitters with thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) remains a constraint for their portable application. A major reason for this is that the high triplet (T1) of the host required to match the blue TADF emitters would always lead to inferiority in terms of carrier injection. Therefore, a suitable host should possess not only a high T1 but also a relatively low singlet (S1) for improved carrier injection, indicating that small singlet-triplet splittings (ΔESTs) are highly desired. Here, four carbazolyl benzonitrile derivatives are facilely prepared in a one-step approach with restrained conjugate lengths to maintain high triplet energies while their highly twisted structures spatially separate the frontier orbital distribution to achieve relatively low ΔESTs. Meanwhile, the charge transporting mobilities of these hosts are effectively tuned by the different linker types of the host moieties. Consequently, high-triplet-energy hosts with favorable carrier injection/transporting abilities are realized, endowing blue TADF devices with a maximum external quantum efficiency of 21.5%, a maximum power efficiency of 42.0 lm W-1 and an ultra-low onset voltage of 2.8 V. It is noteworthy that a driving voltage of 4.9 V is achieved at a practical luminance of 1000 cd m-2, which is the lowest among the doped blue TADF OLEDs reported until now. This work suggests that manipulation of the molecular topologies not only leads to the flexible and feasible design of novel bipolar host materials, but also affords a promising method for fine-tuning physical properties and thus obtaining state-of-the-art device performances.

Abstract
Highly efficient deep-blue electroluminescent devices are realized via an efficient triplet–triplet annihilation process of styrylpyrene-based emitters.
In this study, we revealed a new approach for the development of new triplet–triplet annihilation (TTA) materials with highly efficient deep-blue fluorescence via the incorporation of a styrylpyrene core and an electron-donating group. The resulting deep-blue emitters (PCzSP, DFASP, and DPASP) exhibit intramolecular charge transfer emissions with remarkably high emission quantum yields. The electroluminescent devices based on these three fluorophores as dopants using CBP as a host exhibit very high device efficiencies; in particular, the DPASP-doped device reveals an extremely high EQE of 12%, reaching the limit of a TTA-based device. The EL characteristics of DPASP-doped CBP-based devices at various doping concentrations (0–5%) suggest that the dopant DPASP is responsible for the TTA-type delayed fluorescence in the device; no delayed fluorescence was observed for the device using CBP as the host emitter. Moreover, when using DMPPP with ambipolar characteristics as the host, the deep-blue DPASP-doped device also gives outstanding performance with an EQE of nearly 11% with an extremely small efficiency roll-off, which was ascribed to the excellent charge balance in the emitting layer of the EL device. The TTA process of the SP-based dopants accounts significantly for the superior efficiencies of the EL devices.
