Abstract

Organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) materials have been widely applied in many fields, among which phosphorescent OLED materials have more and more attention due to their luminescence efficiency and performance. At present, the luminescence layer of many OLED devices adopts phosphorescent materials as the main body to achieve a better visual experience for users. The research and development of blue electrophosphorescent materials are not mature enough. The two big aspects including color purity and the service life are major problems, and many researchers are now working on research methods of conquering the blue phosphorescent OLED materials shortage. In this article, fluorescent and phosphorescent OLED materials have been mentioned. The applications and branches of phosphorescent OLED materials are described. The article also analyzes the shortcomings of phosphorescent OLED and explained the reasons, mainly thermal activation delay fluorescence (TADF). Its purpose is to reduce the expensiveness of phosphorescent OLED materials. Meanwhile, the luminescence efficiency of fluorescent materials can be greatly improved. Additionally, the basic principles of luminescent OLED materials and the applications of phosphorescent OLED materials are also illustrated, including the prospect of blue phosphorescent OLED materials.
