Abstract

AbstractOrganic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) fabricated using organic thermally activated delayed fluorescence materials as sensitizers have recently achieved significant advancements, but the serious efficiency roll‐offs are still troublesome in most cases. Herein, a tailor‐made multifunctional luminogen SBF‐BP‐SFAC containing 9,9′‐spirobifluorene (SBF) and spiro[acridine‐9,9‐fluorene] (SFAC) as electron donors and carbonyl as an electron acceptor is synthesized and characterized. SBF‐BP‐SFAC has the advantages of high thermal stability, aggregation‐enhanced delayed fluorescence, and balanced carrier transport ability, and prefers horizontal dipole orientation. Highly efficient OLEDs employing SBF‐BP‐SFAC as an emitter radiate intense cyan light with outstanding external quantum efficiencies (ηexts) of up to 30.6%. SBF‐BP‐SFAC can also serve as an excellent sensitizer for orange fluorescence, phosphorescence, and delayed fluorescence materials, providing excellent ηexts of up to 30.3% with very small efficiency roll‐offs due to the fast Förster energy transfer as well as exciton annihilation suppression by bulky spiro donors. These outstanding performances demonstrate the great potential of SBF‐BP‐SFAC as an emitter and sensitizer for OLEDs.
