研究目的
Investigating the non-radiative decay mechanism in heteroleptic Ir-based triplet emitters for OLED devices and formulating a strategy to improve electroluminescence efficiency by designing ancillary ligands.
研究成果
Functionalizing the ancillary ligand in a heteroleptic triplet emitter is a viable strategy for controlling the photophysical property without impacting the photoluminescent behavior of the molecule. The improved performance is sustained in a prototype device, showing an increased outcoupling efficiency of 24%.
研究不足
The model captures only the non-radiative decay based on the internal conversion of the dopant molecule to the non-radiative T2 state, ignoring likely significant contributions from other components of the device. The accuracy of DFT-based energies may be questioned, and the model considers only one alternative triplet state.
