Design of thermally activated delayed fluorescent sensitizers for high efficiency over 20% and long lifetime in yellow fluorescent organic light-emitting diodes

Article abstract of DOI:10.1039/d0tc00178c

Yellow thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials were synthesized using 2,4,6-triphenylpyrimidine-5-carbonitrile and 4-(3-cyanophenyl)-2,6-diphenylpyrimidine-5-carbonitrile acceptors combined with a very strong donor moiety of 5,10-dipheny
