ABSTRACT Pure organic-based thermally activated delayed fluorescent (TADF) emitters have been studied for the last five years because of their potential as high-efficiency emitters comparable to phosphorescent emitters. Although the initial external quantum efficiency (EQE) of the TADF emitters was much lower than that of phosphorescent emitters, the current EQE of the TADF organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) is quite similar to that of phosphorescent OLEDs. In particular, the EQE of the green TADF OLEDs is already over 30% with the help of the new molecular design fully harvesting triplet excitons of the TADF emitters for light emission through the up-conversion process. In this work, the progress of the device performances of the TADF OLEDs was studied by reviewing the green TADF emitters that had been developed in the last five years.
