Multi-resonance induced by boron and nitrogen atoms in opposite resonance positions endows a thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF) emitter with a strikingly small full width at half maximum of only 26 nm and excellent photoluminescence quantum yield of up to 97.48 %. The introduction of a carbazole unit in the para position of the B-substituted phenyl-ring can significantly boost up the resonance effect without compromising the color fidelity, subsequently enhancing the performances of the corresponding pure blue TADF-OLED, with an outstanding external quantum efficiency (EQE) up to 32.1 % and low efficiency roll-off, making it one of the best TADF-OLEDs in the blue region to date. Furthermore, utilizing this material as host for a yellow phosphorescent emitter, the device also shows a significantly reduced turn-on voltage of 3.2 V and an EQE of 22.2 %.

Circularly polarized organic light‐emitting diodes (CP‐OLEDs) are particularly favorable for the direct generation of CP light, and they demonstrate a promising application in 3D display. However, up to now, such CP devices have suffered from low brightness, insufficient efficiency, and serious efficiency roll‐off. In this study, a pair of octahydro‐binaphthol (OBN)‐based chiral emitting enantiomers, (R/S)‐OBN‐Cz, are developed by ingeniously merging a chiral source and a luminophore skeleton. These chirality–acceptor–donor (C–A–D)‐type and rod‐like compounds concurrently generate thermally activated delayed fluorescence with a small ΔEST of 0.037 eV, as well as a high photoluminescence quantum yield of 92% and intense circularly polarized photoluminescence with dissymmetry factors (|gPL|) of ≈2.0 × 10−3 in thin films. The CP‐OLEDs based on (R/S)‐OBN‐Cz enantiomers not only display obvious circularly polarized electroluminescence signals with a |gEL| of ≈2.0 × 10−3, but also exhibit superior efficiencies with maximum external quantum efficiency (EQEmax) up to 32.6% and extremely low efficiency roll‐off with an EQE of 30.6% at 5000 cd m−2, which are the best performances among the reported CP devices to date.

CP-OLEDs with two series of chiral iridium(iii) complexes based on four-membered Ir–S–P–S chelating rings and chiral BINOL-based derivatives show excellent electroluminescence performances with obvious CPEL properties.
