Abstract (AI)
Abstract Color‐tunable luminescent polymers are highly desirable materials for meeting the daily needs of humans in terms of circadian rhythm, yet they are rarely reported. Herein, a feasible approach is developed for color‐tunable thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) conjugated polymers by incorporating green and red TADF units into blue fluorescent polymeric backbone. The solution‐processed OLEDs based on the synthesized polymers exhibit high‐efficiency red emission with a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE max ) of 26.1% under low voltage (6 V). With a slight increase in voltage, warm white emission with EQE max of 23.9%, color rendering index (CRI) of 76 and low corelated color temperature (CCT) of 1700 K is obtained. These results represent the highest efficiencies among the red and warm white OLEDs based on TADF polymers, respectively. Intriguingly, under higher voltage (10 V), warm white emission with high CRI of 87, CCT of 3216 K, and luminance of over 5300 cd m −2 is accessible. This work provides a promising approach for intelligent lighting by voltage‐regulating white OLEDs.
Key Findings
1
A practical method was developed to create color-tunable TADF conjugated polymers by incorporating green and red TADF units into a blue fluorescent polymer backbone.
2
At higher voltage (10 V) the devices deliver warm white emission with improved CRI of 87, CCT of 3216 K, and luminance exceeding 5300 cd m−2.
3
Slightly increasing voltage yields warm white emission with EQE max of 23.9%, color rendering index (CRI) of 76, and correlated color temperature (CCT) of 1700 K.
4
Solution-processed OLEDs based on these polymers produce high-efficiency red emission with a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE max) of 26.1% at low voltage (6 V).
5
These reported red and warm white OLED efficiencies are the highest among TADF polymer-based devices to date, demonstrating potential for voltage-regulated intelligent lighting.
