Abstract
AbstractOrganic light‐emitting diodes in tandem structures (TOLEDs) have long been an effective strategy to realize multifold increased electroluminescence (EL) efficiency relative to the single‐unit OLEDs, making TOLEDs promising candidates for lighting and display applications. Benefitted from the development of organic emitters, hybrid tandem OLEDs (HTOLEDs) composing two or more types of OLED emitters (phosphorescence, fluorescence, and thermally‐activated delayed fluorescence (TADF)) are developed. The different energy conversion processes of these emitters can facilitate manipulated exciton distribution inside the device, leading to enhanced device performance. On the other hand, different emission technologies can also be integrated to form another kind of hybrid tandem light‐emitting diodes (HTLED) thanks to the compatibility of OLEDs with quantum dot LEDs (QLEDs) and perovskite LEDs (PeLEDs). In this review, the performance of different types of HTOLEDs and HTLEDs is comprehensively reviewed particularly focusing on the exciton regulations and manipulation of emission spectra in the sub‐units, aiming to provide guidelines for the EL performance optimization of HTOLEDs.
