A new thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) acceptor (A) segment, acenaphtho[1,2-b]quinoxaline (AQ) group, is designed. And a novel red TADF material 10,10',10''-(acenaphtho[1,2-b]quinoxaline-3,9,10-triyl)tris(10H-phenoxazine) (AQ-TPXZ) is developed by the conjunction of AQ group with phenoxazine as donor (D) moieties. The density functional theory calculation shows that this D-A molecule has a well separation between the highest occupied molecular orbital and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital. And the energy splitting between the lowest singlet state and the lowest triplet state is calculated to be 0.02 eV. The transient photoluminescence decays of AQ-TPXZ doped 4,4'-di(9H-carbazol-9-yl)-1,1'-biphenyl film exhibit double-component emission decay profiles. The organic light-emitting diode (OLED) using AQ-TPXZ as dopant realizes red emission with a peak at 624 nm. Moreover, the device obtains maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) up to 7.4%, which is higher than the theoretical maximum EQE (5%) of traditional fluorescent OLEDs. This result not only indicates that AQ-TPXZ is a red TADF material but also provides a newly electron acceptor segment for designing novel red TADF emitters.
