Synthesis, studies and applications of organic bipolar semiconductors exhibiting high luminescence quantum yields in the solid state

   

Project no.: 09.3.3-LMT-K-712-01-0140

Project description:

The aim of the project is to synthesize and investigate new bipolar organic semiconductors with high luminescence quantum yields in solid state and to fabricate and characterize efficient organic light emitting diodes based on these compounds. In the course of implementation of the project, new electroactive compounds containing donor and acceptor moieties will be synthesized and their thermal, optical, photophysical, electrochemical, charge-transporting properties and morphology of their layers will be investigated. The novel approach of combining aggregation-induced emission enhancement and thermally activated delayed fluorescence effects in one molecular structure will lead to the fabrication of very efficient, low-cost and simple-structured organic light emitting diodes.

Project funding:

This research project is funded by the European Social Fund according to the 2014–2020 Operational Programme for the European Union Funds’ Investments under measure’s No. 09.3.3-LMT-K-712 activity “Improvement of Researchers’ Qualification by Implementing World-class R&D Projects”.


Project results:

Highly luminescent bipolar organic electroactive materials will be synthesized. On the basis of the newly synthesized materials low-cost efficient electroluminescent devices will be developed.
