Efficient Regulation of Emission Color from Green to Deep-red:Dibenzo[f,h]pyrido[3,4-b]Quinoxaline Acceptor Based TADF Emitters
Efficient thermally activated delayed fluorescence(TADF)emitters have an important application for organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs).However,due to the limitations of the energy gap law,the development of efficient red TADF emitters with wavelengthsover 600 nm is chal-lenging.Herein,a novel rigid larger conjugated planar acceptor dibenzo[f,h]pyrido[3,4-b]quinoxaline(DBPQ)had been designed,and three TADF materials,namely DBPQtCz,DBPQDMAC and DBPQPXZ,were synthesized by connecting with different donors(tCz,DMAC and PXZ)to DBPQ.With the enhancement of electron-donating ability of the corresponding donors,the emission wavelengths of DBPQtCz,DBPQDMAC and DBPQPXZ were significantly red-shifted and turned from green,red to deep-red.The OLED based on DBPQDMAC obtained maximum exter-nal quantum efficiency(EQEmax)up to 16.0%,and the peak electroluminescent(EL)of 612 nm,while the EQEmax of DBPQPXZ is 3.2%,and the peak EL is 658 nm.Meanwhile,the OLEDs based on DBPQtCz,DBPQDMAC and DBPQPXZ achieved extremely low turn-on voltages of 2.4,2.5 and 2.8 V,respectively.
