ポイント(わかりやすい箇条書き) - テーマ:硫黄(S)・セレン(Se)といった「重いカルコゲン元素」を有機分子へ導入し、発光過程(励起状態ダイナミクス)を制御してOLED性能を高める研究動向をまとめた総説。
- キーワード:重原子効果でスピン軌道相互作用を強め、TADFや室温りん光(RTP)で励起子を“使い切る”設計につなげる。

2. Uncovering the Origin of Efficiency Roll-Off in TADF OLEDs
- 掲載誌:ADVANCED FUNCTIONAL MATERIALS(JIF 19.0)

ポイント(わかりやすい箇条書き) - 背景:TADF OLEDは高効率が期待される一方、高輝度になると効率が落ちる「ロールオフ」が課題。
- 工夫:デバイス動作中(in‑operando)に、周波数領域の測定手法で発光ダイナミクスを解析し、速度定数の推定を可能にする。
- 結論:ロールオフは単一要因ではなく、STA(S–T消滅)、SPA(S–ポーラロン消滅)、TPA(T–ポーラロン消滅)が組み合わさって起こることを定量的に示す。
- 意義:どの損失過程が支配的かを“測って分ける”ことで、材料設計・素子設計の改善点が明確になる。

1. Heavy Chalcogen Elements in OLEDs: Advances of Sulfur and Selenium for Organic Light-Emitting Materials
- Journal: ADVANCED MATERIALS (JIF 26.8)
- Year: 2026
- DOI: 10.1002/adma.202521581
Key points (rephrased; no abstract text copied) - Topic: a review on using heavy chalcogen elements (S/Se) in organic molecules to tune excited‑state dynamics and enhance OLED performance.
- Key idea: heavy‑atom effects can strengthen spin–orbit coupling, helping exciton utilization in TADF and room‑temperature phosphorescence (RTP).
- Scope: covers donor–acceptor TADF, multiple‑resonance (MR) TADF, and purely organic RTP frameworks, highlighting design patterns.
- Broader impact: also discusses sulfur‑containing units in host materials, expanding practical materials choices.
2. Uncovering the Origin of Efficiency Roll-Off in TADF OLEDs
- Journal: ADVANCED FUNCTIONAL MATERIALS (JIF 19.0)
- Year: 2026
- DOI: 10.1002/adfm.202531845
Key points (rephrased; no abstract text copied) - Problem: TADF OLEDs often suffer from efficiency “roll‑off” at high brightness.
- Approach: an in‑operando frequency‑domain method is used to access rate constants that are hard to extract with conventional techniques.
- Finding: roll‑off arises from a combined interplay of singlet–triplet annihilation (STA), singlet–polaron annihilation (SPA), and triplet–polaron annihilation (TPA), with quantified contributions.
- Why it matters: separating and quantifying loss channels points directly to where materials and device stacks should be improved.
3. Balancing efficiency and circular polarization in CP-OLEDs: chiral alkyl-substituted dicyanoquinoxaline-based TADF emitters
- Journal: CHEMICAL ENGINEERING JOURNAL (JIF 13.2)
- Year: 2026
- DOI: 10.1016/j.cej.2026.174414
Key points (rephrased; no abstract text copied) - Goal: balance high EQE and meaningful circular polarization (gEL) in circularly polarized OLEDs (CP‑OLEDs).
- Design: chiral CP‑TADF enantiomers are built using camphorquinone; acceptor engineering shifts the emission mechanism toward intrinsically efficient TADF.
- Materials: reports high thermal stability (Td > 446 °C), small ΔEST (<0.3 eV), and high PLQY (e.g., 89.5%).
- Devices: achieves EQEmax 31.83% at 532 nm without a sensitization layer and reports gEL values.
- Impact: supports practical high‑efficiency CP‑OLED materials for 3D/photonic display technologies.
