Abstract: Disclosed is a persistent luminescence emitter containing at least 70 mol % of an electron donor molecule and less than 30 mol % of an electron acceptor molecule wherein an electron transfer occurs from the electron donor molecule to the electron acceptor molecule by photo-irradiation of the persistent luminescence emitter, and after photo-irradiation of the persistent luminescence emitter stops, emission intensity decays non-exponentially.

Abstract: Disclosed is a persistent luminescence emitter containing an electron donor molecule and an electron acceptor molecule having a LUMO level of lower than ?3.5 eV, wherein emission intensity increases by temperature rise after photo-irradiation of the persistent luminescence emitter stops.

Abstract: Photostimulated luminescence, which allows energy or data to be stored and released using electromagnetic waves as both the input and output, has attracted considerable interest in the fields of biomedical and informatics technologies, but this phenomenon is mostly limited to solid inorganic materials. Here, we report photostimulated luminescence from purely organic blend films composed of electron donor, acceptor, and trap/emitter molecules. In the films, charges are accumulated as radical ions by ultraviolet light irradiation and then extracted by near infrared light irradiation to produce visible light. Films are capable of multiple cycles (>10 times) of organic photostimulated luminescence, which was still observable from films left in the dark at room temperature for one week after excitation, and emission color could be varied by changing the trap/emitter molecules. These findings will broadly impact existing applications and provide new prospects for innovative flexible devices.
