NIR-OLED

Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) that exhibit Near-Infrared (NIR) electroluminescence (EL) possess substantial potential for future valuable sensing applications. However, photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of NIR emitters represents a significant impediment to these applications due to a huge non-radiative decay rate following the energy gap law. In particular, EL quantum efficiency of the NIR-OLEDs exhibiting EL wavelength of over 900 nm remains limited to a few percent. To suppress non-radiative decay of the NIR emitters, deuteration of C-H bond of the molecules has been proposed. However, there is no report regarding the deuteration effect on the NIR photoluminescence properties in host-guest co-deposited films. In this study, we report the significant impact of the deuteration of both host and guest molecules on the NIR photoluminescence properties in the co-deposited film
