To further improve the efficiency and life-time of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), ultimately the properties of underlying materials need to be tweaked at the molecular level. In materials science molecular modeling has become a more wide-spread tool integrated with experiments for a holistic research & development approach. Important properties for OLEDs can be predicted with advanced quantum chemistry methods. We will discuss how to model charge mobility, exciton mobility, phosphorescence lifetimes, TADF & spectra. We will also discuss future developments to further improve accuracy and access to other properties such as exciton-polaron quenching and triplet-triplet annihilation.

Traditional OLED materials development strives to find new molecular structures improving the three fundamental parameters of stack performance: Efficiency, Voltage and Lifetime. We call it the “Master Triangle”. While the fundamental parameters remain very important, new dimensions of development have evolved. Deuteration can have tremendous benefits for device lifetime without trade-offs in efficiency or voltage. Display artifacts like pixel crosstalk or transient phenomena linked to stack capacitance can only be tackled by a more holistic view on materials development. In addition, advanced computer modeling opens new doors to property prediction, and sustainability has become a strong driver, even in early stages of development. This situation adds complexity but, if well handled, it also offers tremendous opportunities for OLED materials, and thus OLED panels, to move to the next level. Intelligent engineering of OLED materials will broaden the footprint of OLED display in mobile and IT devices that continue to improve and face more challenging operating conditions, e.g. higher brightness for outdoor readability or stricter capacitance requirements due to higher refresh rates in modern displays.
