Abstract
Boron-based compounds exhibiting a multiresonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence are regarded promising as a narrowband blue emitter desired for efficient displays with wide color gamut. However, their planar nature makes them prone to concentration-induced excimer formation that broadens the emission spectrum, making it hard to increase the emitter concentration without raising CIE y coordinate. To overcome this bottleneck, we here propose o-Tol-ν-DABNA-Me, wherein sterically hindered peripheral phenyl groups are introduced to reduce intermolecular interactions, leading to excimer formation and thus making the pure narrowband emission character far less sensitive to concentration. With this approach, we demonstrate deep-blue OLEDs with y of 0.12 and full width at half maximum of 18 nm, with maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of ca. 33%. Adopting a hyperfluorescent architecture, the OLED performance is further enhanced to EQE of 35.4%, with mitigated efficiency roll-off, illustrating the immense potential of the proposed method for energy-efficient deep-blue OLEDs.
