Abstract
Efficient vacuum‐processed organic light‐emitting diodes are fabricated using a carbene–metal–amide material, CMA1. An electroluminescence (EL) external quantum efficiency of 23% is achieved in a host‐free emissive layer comprising pure CMA1. Furthermore external quantum efficiencies of up to 26.9% are achieved in host–guest emissive layers. EL spectra are found to depend on both the emissive‐layer doping concentration and the choice of host material, enabling tuning of emission color from mid‐green (Commission Internationale de l'Éclairage co‐ordinates [0.24, 0.46]) to sky blue ([0.22 0.35]) without changing dopant. This tuning is achieved without compromising luminescence efficiency (>80%) while maintaining a short radiative lifetime of triplets (<1 μs).Funding Information
