The Georgia Institute of Technology assembled a multidisciplinary team with complementary expertise in the areas of multi-level molecular simulations (Brédas), chemical synthesis and material characterization (Marder), and device physics and engineering (Kippelen). The team engaged in a two-year integrated theoretical and experimental program to develop blue-emissive layers that can yield simultaneously near 100% internal quantum efficiency (IQE) and short excited-state lifetimes to overcome the existing efficiency vs. stability tradeoff displayed by blue-emitting OLEDs and by WOLEDs, and to demonstrate stable WOLEDs that fulfill or exceed the 2020 target metrics (RDP 2016 section C.1.2) ahead of schedule. In this program, we investigated two general approaches involving the development of wide-bandgap ambipolar hosts with a low ΔEST. Ambipolar host achieved by intermolecular through-space D:A interactions and by intramolecular through-bond interactions between covalently linked D and A segments. Novel hosts were incorporated in to blue-emissive layers (EML) by combining them with suitable fluorescent guest emitters having high quantum yields of emission (Φem) to demonstrate blue-emitting OLEDs with high EQE and low roll-off. This final report describes the most important results achieved during this program
