Polariton organic light-emitting diodes (POLEDs) use strong light-matter coupling as an additional degree of freedom to tailor device characteristics, thus making them ideal candidates for many applications, such as room temperature laser diodes and high-color purity displays. However, achieving efficient formation of and emission from exciton-pola...
Molecules based on octaazaperopyrenedioxide (OAPPDO) cores represent a new class of organic emitters with the ability to form amorphous films when processed from solution while retaining their emissive properties. Here,...
A new carbazole‐substituted bisterpyridine with pronounced delayed fluorescence is presented. While the molecular donor‐acceptor‐donor design suggests the origin of this to be thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF), results from various photophysical characterizations, OLED characteristics, temperature‐dependent NMR spectroscopy, and DFT c...
The orientation of luminescent molecules in organic light-emitting diodes strongly influences device performance. However, our understanding of the factors controlling emitter orientation is limited as current measurements only provide ensemble-averaged orientation values. Here, we use single-molecule imaging to measure the transition dipole orient...

Non-linearities in organic exciton-polariton microcavities represent an attractive platform for second-generation quantum devices. However, progress in this area hinges on the development of material platforms for high-performance polariton lasing, scalable and sustainable fabrication, and ultimately strategies for electrical pumping. Here, we show...
The use of thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters and emitters that show preferential horizontal orientation of their transition dipole moment (TDM) are two emerging strategies to enhance the efficiency of OLEDs. We present the first example of a liquid crystalline multi‐resonance TADF (MR‐TADF) emitter, DiKTa‐LC. The compound pos...

Exciplexes of individual electron donor and acceptor molecules are a promising approach to utilizing otherwise non-emissive triplet states in optoelectronic applications. In this work, we synthesize a series of bis(terpyridine)...
In organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs), horizontal orientation of the emissive transition dipole moment (TDM) can improve light outcoupling efficiency by up to 50% relative to random orientation. Therefore, there have been extensive efforts to identify drivers of horizontal orientation. The aspect ratio of the emitter molecule and the glass‐trans...
Strong light–matter coupling leads to the formation of mixed exciton–polariton states, allowing for a rigorous manipulation of the absorption and emission of excitonic materials. Here, we demonstrate the realization of this promising concept in organic photodetectors. By hybridizing the E11 exciton of semiconducting (6,5) single-walled carbon nanot...
The accurate characterization of thin‐film light emitting diodes (LEDs)—including organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), perovskite LEDs, and quantum dot LEDs—is crucial to the understanding of the factors that influence their efficiency and thus to the fabrication of LEDs with improved performance and stability. In addition, detailed information a...
We report two donor-acceptor (D-A) materials based on a cyanoanthracene acceptor paired with diphenylamine (DPAAnCN) and carbazole (CzAnCN) donor moieties. These compounds show hybrid locally excited (LE) charge-transfer (CT) excited states (HLCT), which we demonstrated through a combined photophysical and computational study. Vacuum-deposited orga...
Two bipolar host materials 3‐CBPy and 4‐mCBPy are reported. These hosts are structural analogs of the common host materials CBP and mCBP wherein the phenyl rings have been replaced with pyridines. The two materials possess deep highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and shallow lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) levels along with suffici...
Conjugated polymers are an important class of organic semiconductors that can be deposited from solution to make optoelectronic devices. Among them, poly(9,9′-dioctylfluorene) (PFO) has distinctive optical properties arising from its ability to adopt an ordered planar conformation (β phase) from a disordered glassy phase (α phase). The β phase has...
Conjugated polymers (CPs) are an important class of organic semiconductors that combine novel optoelectronic properties with simple processing from organic solvents. It is important to study CP conformation in solution to understand the physics of these materials and because it affects the properties of solution-processed films. Single-molecule tec...
We developed a tactile vision sensor, by converting light intensity from narrowband reflection spectroscopy into different stimuli such as sound. This creates the perception of colours though alternative senses. The device extends work done to develop a wearable sensor of erythema and shows the outcome from the collaboration between scientists and...
We present an experimental analysis of the angular distribution of the emission of a random laser (RL) operating in the diffusive regime ( ∼ 1 % volume fraction of scatterers). The RL ensemble was made of silica particles suspended in a 1:1 methanol:water matrix with Rhodamine 6G dye as the active medium. We found that, for specific pumping-energy-...
We present experimental results of a random laser in a cylindrical cell. With this configuration we manage to exhibit that the laser's lasing modes, the lasing threshold and the peak wavelength exhibit angular dependence.
