Abstract
The external quantum efficiency (EQE) of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) has been dramatically improved by developing highly efficient organic emitters such as phosphorescent emitters and thermally activated delayed fluorescent (TADF) emitters. However, high-EQE OLED technologies suffer from relatively poor device lifetimes in spite of their high EQEs. In particular, the short lifetimes of blue phosphorescent and TADF OLEDs remain a big hurdle to overcome. Therefore, the high-EQE approach harvesting singlet excitons of fluorescent emitters by energy transfer processes from the host or sensitizer has been explored as an alternative for high-EQE OLED strategies. Recently, there has been a big jump in the EQE and device lifetime of singlet-exciton-harvesting fluorescent OLEDs. Recent progress on the materials and device structure is discussed herein.
