Abstract: An emissive zone for electroluminescent devices is provided, comprising of an emissive host with small singlet-triplet energy splitting and a triplet assistant dopant with HOMO and/or LUMO energy levels within the bandgap of the host material and triplet energy greater than that of the host. The purpose of the non-emissive dopant is two-fold; charge trapping and energy transfer to the host. With careful material selection, exciton formation on the dopant and subsequent energy transfer to the host allows for excitons to be funneled to the singlet-state of the host. Reduction of long-lived excitons consequently reduces undesirable excited state annihilation processes that lead to organic degradation.
