ABSTRACT
Ultra-flexible stretchable organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are emerging as a basic component of flexible electronics and human-machine interfaces. However, the brightness and efficiency of stretchable OLEDs remain still far inferior to their rigid counterparts, owing to the scarcity of satisfactory stretchable electroluminescent materials. Herein, we explore a general concept based on the self-confinement effect to dramatically improve the stretchability of elastomers, without affecting electroluminescent properties. The balanced rigid/flexible chain dynamics under self-confinement significantly reduces the modulus of the elastomers, resulting in the maximum strain reaching 806 %. Ultra-flexible stretchable OLEDs have been constructed based on the resulting ISEEs, achieving unprecedented high-performance non-blended stretchable OLEDs. The results suggest an effective molecular design strategy for highly deformable stretchable displays and flexible electronics.
