Recent advances of organic emitters in deep‐red light‐emitting electrochemical cells

Abstract

AbstractLight‐emitting electrochemical cells (LECs) are kind of easily fabricated and low‐cost light‐emitting devices that can efficiently convert electric power to light energy. Compared with blue and green LECs, the performance of deep‐red LECs is limited by the high non‐radiative rate of emitters in long‐wavelength region. While various organic emitters with deep‐red emission have been developed to construct high‐performance LECs, including polymers, metal complexes, and organic luminous molecules (OLMs), but this is seldom summarized. Therefore, we overview the recent advances of organic emitters with emission at the deep‐red region for LECs, and specifically highlight the molecular design approach and electrochemiluminescence performance. We hope that this review can act as a reference for further research in designing high‐performance deep‐red LECs.
