Multi‐resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR‐TADF) molecules based on boron and nitrogen atoms are emerging as next‐generation blue emitters for organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) due to their narrow emission spectra and triplet harvesting properties. However, intermolecular aggregation stemming from the planar structure of typical MR‐TADF molecules that leads to concentration quenching and broadened spectra limits the utilization of the full potential of MR‐TADF emitters. Herein, a deep‐blue MR‐TADF emitter, pBP‐DABNA‐Me, is developed to suppress intermolecular interactions effectively. Furthermore, photophysical investigation and theoretical calculations reveal that adding biphenyl moieties to the core body creates dense local triplet states in the vicinity of S1 and T1 energetically, letting the emitter harvest excitons efficiently. OLEDs based on pBP‐DABNA‐Me show a high external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 23.4% and a pure‐blue emission with a Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage (CIE) coordinate of (0.132, 0.092), which are maintained even at a high doping concentration of 100 wt%. Furthermore, by incorporating a conventional TADF sensitizer, deep‐blue OLEDs with a CIE value of (0.133, 0.109) and an extremely high EQE of 30.1% are realized. These findings provide insight into design strategies for developing efficient deep‐blue MR‐TADF emitters with fast triplet upconversion and suppressed self‐aggregation.

Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have emerged as mainstream displays in the small mobile display market and expanded the applications to large-sized as well as flexible displays. However, one of the...

Organic Light‐Emitting Diodes In article number 2207416, Jeong‐Hwan Lee, Yun‐Hi Kim, and co‐workers introduce a pure blue emitter, pBP‐DABNA‐Me. The dense local triplet states and suppression of steric hindrance of pBP‐DABNA‐Me enable the realization of high‐performance organic light‐emitting diodes with an efficiency of 30.1% with a pure blue emission, color‐coordinate of (0.133, 0.109). This work provides insight into design strategies for developing efficient deep blue emitters with fast triplet upconversion and suppressed self‐aggregation.
