ABSTRACT
Chromophores with hybridized local and charge-transfer (HLCT) excited state are promising for the realization of high performance blue organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). The rational manipulation of HLCT excited state for efficient emitters remains challenging. Herein, we present three donor-π-acceptor (D-π-A) molecules (mPAN, mPANPH, and mPNAPH) with phenanthro[9,10-d]imidazole (PI) and pyridinyl as donor and π-bridge respectively. Changes in various kinds of polycyclic aromatic derivative acceptors (anthracene, 9-phenylanthracene, and 1-phenylnaphthalene) could manipulate the excited states and optoelectronic properties. Theoretical calculations reveal that the S1 state of mPNAPH exhibits HLCT nature while the other two molecules show local excited (LE) state dominated feature. The photophysical properties also demonstrate this characteristic. Therefore, compared with mPAN and mPANPH, mPNAPH has higher photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) whether in solutions or neat films. Ultimately, the non-doped devices based on these emitters show high luminance larger than 35000â
cd m-2 , and high maximum external quantum efficiencies (EQEmax s) larger than 5 % with low efficiency roll-off. In particular, the mPNAPH-based device displays an excellent performance of pure blue emission at 456â
nm with Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage coordinate of (0.15, 0.16) and EQEmax of 6.13 % that benefited from the HLCT state and high-lying reverse intersystem crossing process.
