For TADF general lighting applications, owing to the characteristic features materials, heat accelerates the reverse intersystem-crossing (ISC) of these organic semiconducting materials, such as flexibility over from a triplet excited state (T ) to a singlet excited one (S ), thus 1 1 large-area, low-cost fabrication and high-performance optical and leading to an increase of the fluorescence intensity. Therefore, in electrical properties. In order to enhance the electroluminescence principle, when TADF materials are used in OLEDs, heating the (EL) efficiency of OLEDs, various fluorescent and phosphorescent device accelerates reverse ISC, and thus makes it possible to materials have been widely developed.[1–5] Although OLEDs using provide OLEDs with high EL efficiency, even with a fluorescence fluorescent materials have achieved a high reliability practica
