Abstract
Abstract This work describes the first hot exciton fluorescent material based on benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole and chiral binaphthol enabling circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) through a chiral perturbation strategy. The new molecular architecture displays CPL, hybridized local and charge transfer (HLCT) properties concurrently. Utilizing it as the emitter, circularly polarized organic light‐emitting diodes (CP‐OLEDs) achieve an external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 7.2% with a good exciton utilization (36%) and a moderate circularly polarized electroluminescence (CPEL) dissymmetry factor ( g EL , 2.1 × 10 −3 ). In addition, the CP‐HLCT molecule is sensitized by a thermally activated delayed fluorescence material, significantly ameliorating the efficiency of HLCT fluorescent CP‐OLEDs. Excellent performances of twofold maximum EQE (EQE max ) of 15.3% and 82% exciton utilization are obtained in the sensitized device, regarding an extremely low‐efficiency roll‐off of 2.6% at 1000 cd m −2 as well as CPEL with a g EL value of 2.0 × 10 −3 .
