Rational design of light-emitting materials for lighting and displays

Abstract:: This project aims to solve the most pressing problem in organic light emitting diodes - the lack of highly efficient phosphorescent blue emitters. This Project expects to generate new understanding of energy loss mechanisms in such devices from multiscale quantum mechanical models describing the interaction of the emitter with its environment and to design new materials via big data approaches. The expected outcomes of this Project range from fundamental understanding of non-radiative decay processes in organometallic complexes to more efficient lighting and display technologies. This should provide significant benefits in reducing energy usage as lighting and displays consume around a quarter of the energy generated in developed countries.
