Popis: To enhance the efficiency of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), the application of triplet excitons must be maximized. Two donor–acceptor-type molecules bearing bis-carbazolyl and tris-carbazolyl groups at the ortho position of a phenyl-attached triazine ring were synthesized. These molecules showed very small singlet–triplet energy gaps (ΔE ST ) of 0.06 and 0.03 eV, respectively, and transient photoluminescence (PL) characteristics, which indicate that they are thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials. A high external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 16.5% with deep blue color coordinates of (0.15, 0.22) was observed using a TrisCz–Trz TADF emitter. This interaction between the electron donor and electron acceptor substituents plays a key role in achieving a very small ΔE ST and good intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) activities with high photoluminescence (PL).
