Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (TADF-OLEDs)
Woodhead Publishing Series in Electronic and Optical Materials Series

Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (TADF-OLEDs) comprehensively introduces the history of TADF, along with a review of fundamental concepts. Then, TADF emitters with different colors, such as blue, green, red and NIR as well as white OLEDs are discussed in detail. Other sections cover exciplex-type TADF materials, emerging application of TADF emitters as a host in OLEDs, and applications of TADF materials in organic lasers and biosensing.

Lian Duan received his B.Sc. from the Department of Chemistry, Tsinghua University, China in 1998 and his Ph.D from the Department of Chemistry, Tsinghua University, in 2003. He is now with the Department of Chemistry, Tsinghua University. His research interests focus on organic light-emitting materials and devices. He proposed a new excitonic strategy to harvest triplet excitons by using materials with thermally activated delayed fluorescence as hosts for conventional fluorescent or phosphorescent dopants, leading to ideal OLEDs with low voltage, high efficiency, long lifetime and low efficiency roll-off.
