Cynora, a developer of thermally activated, delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials for OLEDs, has reached new performance records with its newest blue emitter material. The material is close to the performance standards of panel makers and is set for commercialization by the end of 2017. Using TADF technology, the company has achieved 15 percent external quantum efficiency at 1000 cd/m2 with an emission peak at 90 hours (at 700 cd/m2) on a device level. “Our latest patent-protected materials show a performance in the range of the customer's specifications for blue,” said Thomas Baumann, Cynora ´s chief security officer, “This is the best overall performance of a high-efficiency blue emitter so far from what we have seen. In the finalization of our product development, we will now focus on moving the emission peak slightly towards 460 nm.” “Our progress in the last few months makes us very confident that we can commercialize our first highly efficient blue emitter by the end of this year, as planned,” said Andreas Haldi, chief marketing officer at Cynora. “But our goal is to become a leading OLED material supplier by providing emitters of all display colors. Therefore, we are planning to follow up on the blue emitter with a green emitter by 2018 and a red emitter by 2019.” Cynora is a developer of high-efficiency blue OLED emitter systems, which will enable a significant reduction of the power consumption in OLED devices.
