Abstract

In recent years, organic light-emitting device technology has expanded from organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) to organic semiconductor laser diodes (OSLDs) with the progress of sophisticated molecular and device architectural designs. In OLEDs, the development of thermally activated delayed fluorescence molecules has been intensively investigated recently. As a result, the internal quantum efficiency of OLEDs containing relatively simple aromatic compounds without precious metals has reached almost 100%. Furthermore, incorporating a distributed feedback resonator structure into the OLED architecture has yielded OSLDs that exhibit the features of current-pumped lasing. In this short review, the authors describe the recent paradigm shift from OLEDs to OSLDs, mainly fromthe perspective of materials innovation.
