Achieving Pure Green Electroluminescence with CIEy of 0.69 and EQE of 28.2% from an Aza-Fused Multi-Resonance Emitter.

Abstract

Pure green emitters are essential for realizing an ultrawide color gamut in next-generation displays. Herein, by fusing the difficult-to-access aza-aromatics onto B (boron)-N (nitrogen) skeleton, a hybridized multi-resonance and charge transfer (HMCT) molecule AZA-BN was successfully synthesized through an effective one-shot multiple cyclization method. AZA-BN shows pure green fluorescence with photoluminance quantum yield of 99.7 %. The corresponding green device exhibits a maximum external quantum efficiency and power efficiency of 28.2 % and 121.7 lm W-1 , respectively, with a full width half maximum (FWHM) of merely 30 nm and Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE) coordinate y of 0.69, representing the purest green bottom-emitting organic light-emitting diode.
