Thienothiophene-based organic light-emitting diode: synthesis, photophysical properties and application

) exhibited absorption and emission maxima of 411 and 520 nm, respectively, with a mega Stokes shift of 109 nm and fluorescence quantum yields both in the solid state (41%) and in solution (86%). The optical properties were supported by computational chemistry using density functional theory for optimized geometry and absorption. A solution-processed OLED was fabricated using low turn-on voltage, which had performances with maximum power, current, and external quantum efficiencies of 6.70 lm/W, 10.6 cd/A, and 4.61%, respectively.
