TADF was pioneered by Kyushu University’s Prof. Adachi and his world-renowned Organic Photonics and Electronics Research center (OPERA). TADF research began in 2009, and in recent years there is an extensive R&D effort by academics and enterprises all over the world.
In 2019 the first commercial Hyperfluprescence™ OLED display was announced – Wisechip’s 2.7″ yellow PMOLED, powered by Kyulux’s TADF/Hyperfluorescence™ technology.
TADF materials enable efficient (up to 100% IQE) and long lasting displays, but TADF emission also suffers from a relatively wide emission spectrum – which limits the color gamut of the OLED display. Kyulux’s Hyperfluorescence™ emission, considered to be the 4th-generation OLED emission technology, builds up on TADF and combines it with fluorescence emission to create highly efficient, stable and narrow-spectrum emitter systems.
