Abstract
Highly efficient and stable blue organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) cannot be easily obtained simultaneously. In particular, the efficiency roll-off as a reference index to evaluate the lifetime of deep-blue OLED at high luminescence is still severe. A novel molecule (<b>CzSiTrz</b>) connected with carbazole and triazine fragments by a nonconjugated silicon atom is designed. An intramolecular charge transfer emission and intermolecular exciplex luminescence in the aggregated state are obtained, resulting in a dual-channel intra/intermolecular exciplex (<b>DCIE</b>) emission with fast and efficient reverse intersystem crossing (RISC). Deep-blue OLED with Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.157, 0.076) and a record-high external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 20.35% at high luminance (5000 cd m<sup>-2</sup>) is accomplished. Simple molecular synthesis and device fabrication of this strategy give a unique approach to realizing high-performance deep-blue electroluminescence.
