  • Characterization of device performance, including external quantum efficiency (EQE).

    • Main Results:

    • Achieved a high external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 7.7% for a yellow emission exciplex device.
    • Demonstrated excellent and balanced charge-transporting properties of TCTA and 3P-T2T.
    • Observed a large energy-level offset (0.8 eV) at the TCTA/3P-T2T interface, facilitating efficient exciplex formation.
    • Confirmed effective confinement of excitons due to high triplet energies (2.85 eV) of the materials.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed device exhibits high performance attributed to effective exciplex formation and exciton confinement.
    • Balanced charge transport and significant energy-level offset are critical for efficient exciplexes.
    • Reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) plays a vital role in harvesting triplet excitons for high OLED performance.
