High-efficiency, thermally activated delayed-fluorescence organic light-emitting diodes based on exciplex emitters are demonstrated. The best device, based on a TAPC:DPTPCz emitter, shows a high external quantum efficiency of 15.4%. Strategies for predicting and designing efficient exciplex emitters are also provided. This approach allow prediction and design of efficient exciplex emitters for achieving high-efficiency organic light-emitting diodes, for future use in displays and lighting applications.

A high-efficiency single-emission-layer (EML) hybrid white organic light emitting device is fabricated based on an ideal sky-blue fluorophor, DADBT, using a novel doping concentration regulation strategy, which effectively separates and respectively utilizes the singlet and triplet excitons in the single-EML. The white device shows excellent electroluminescence performance with maximum total efficiencies of 26.6%, 53.5 cd A(-1) and 67.2 lm W(-1) .
