Popis: Recently, organic thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters have attracted a great deal of attention because they can theoretically realize 100% internal quantum efficiency. Many TADF emitters have been developed since the first demonstration of close to 20% external quantum efficiency in the devices. Recently developed TADF emitters demonstrated close to 37% external quantum efficiency in blue, above 30% external quantum efficiency in green, and close to 18% external quantum efficiency in red devices. Therefore, TADF organic light-emitting diodes could potentially be substituted for high-efficiency phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes. In this work, we reviewed molecular design strategies of organic-based TADF emitters by classifying them into several categories depending on the material parameters required for the TADF emitters. In addition, we proposed a future development direction of TADF emitters to make them competitive with phosphorescent emitters.
