Advanced Strategies for Modern OLEDs

Over the past few decades organic electronics became one of the most important fields of science for the humanity.

Huge consumer success and impressive technical abilities of novel electronic devices have resulted in the necessity of further scientific investigations and developments in this field.

The significant competitive potential of organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) and a number of design and technological features, that are unique to this class of devices, have created preconditions for commercialization of OLEDs as basic elements in display technologies, automotive engineering, biomedicine and dynamic lighting systems.

This project aims at utilizing new strategies for development of revolutionary emitters for OLEDs.

This will be accomplished through the fabrication of red, green, blue and full-color OLED prototypes with improved characteristics (efficiency, cost, stability) as comparing to current state-of-art.

The “new strategies” involves the usage of organic luminescent radicals (for orange-green region), metal-free phosphors (for red, green, blue regions) and doubly thermally activated delayed fluorescent dyes (for whole visible region) as OLED emitters.

The successful implementation of the project will be ensured by a combination of computational design with organic synthesis, a comprehensive study of newly synthesized materials and the fabrication of devices to make a breakthrough in OLED performance and to support a sustainable development in this field.
