Spectrally-tunable fluorene copolymers for organic light-emitting diodes
摘要
Photophysics of 9,9-dioctylfluorene copolymers has been studied for the first time using quantum-chemical calculations. The study revealed that structural modifications of fluorene copolymers directly influence the excited-state energies and non-radiative rate constants. These tailored copolymers consequently exhibit photoluminescence tunable across the visible spectrum, from the blue-to-red spectral region. Calculations confirmed fluorescence as the dominant decay pathway and identified internal conversion as the primary cause of efficiency loss in red-emitting copolymers. Corresponding OLEDs based on fluorene copolymers have been fabricated, achieving a maximum luminance of 7683 cd/m2 and a current efficiency of 1.82 cd/A for a green-emitting device.
