Remarkable White Circularly Polarized Electroluminescence Based on Chiral Co-assembled Helix Nanofiber Emitters.

White circularly polarized organic light-emitting diodes (CP-WOLEDs) are of great significance in potential lighting sources and full-color 3D displays. However, High-performance white CP-EL sources are almost unexplored. We have constructed full-color CP-EL devices based on chiral co-assemblies by using three achiral conjugated pyrene-based dyes (BP, w-WP and c-WP) doped with chiral binaphthyl-based enantiomers (S-/R-M) as the EMLs through an intermolecular chirality induction mechanism. (S-/R-M) 0.2 -(c-WP) 0.8 films exhibit regular helix nanofibers under annealing treatment and emit strong white CPL. Significantly, remarkable CP-WOLEDs based on (S-/R-M) 0.2 -(c-WP) 0.8 were achieved with |g EL | values as high as 6.2×10 -2 and an excellent CRI of 98 at the CIE coordinates of (0.33, 0.33). These are the highest g EL and CRI values of reported CP-WOLEDs to date. This is the first achievement of CP-WOLEDs based on chiral co-assembled helix nanofiber emitters, and provides a valuable strategy with which to develop white CP-EL for future practical applications.
