Abstract
Efficient organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) commonly comprise a multilayer stack including charge-transport and charge- and exciton-blocking layers, to confine charge recombination to the emissive layer. Here, a highly simplified single-layer blue-emitting OLED is demonstrated based on thermally activated delayed fluorescence with the emitting layer simply sandwiched between ohmic contacts consisting of a polymeric conducting anode and a metal cathode. The single-layer OLED exhibits an external quantum efficiency of 27.7% with minor roll-off at high brightness. The internal quantum efficiency approaches unity, demonstrating that highly simplified single-layer OLEDs without confinement layers can achieve state-of-the-art performance, while greatly reducing the complexity of the design, fabrication, and device analysis.
