Publication number: 20240124494Abstract: Described are multi-resonance-thermally-activated delay-fluorescence compounds containing (i) a polycyclic aromatic/heteroaromatic ligand in which a plurality aromatic/heteroaromatic rings are linked by boron and nitrogen atoms and (ii) an N-heterocyclic carbene ligand, with both ligands coordinated to a metal atom/ion that has a high spin-orbit coupling. The use of the high spin-orbit coupling of metals and/or metal ions facilitates the intersystem crossing and/or reversed intersystem crossing processes of MR-TADF emitters, thereby largely accelerating the rate of TADF and substantially shortening the lifetime of deleterious triplet excitons. The MR-TADF emitters can be used to fabricate blue to green emitting OLEDs.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Chi-Ming Che, Siyuan Cai, Tsz-Lung Lam, Gang Cheng
