Quenching of singlets by long lifetime triplets is a serious issue for lasing from organic dyes, especially under long excitation duration. To remove unnecessary triplets, organic laser dyes are often dispersed into a film of a host material having a rather large singlet-triplet energy gap such as anthracene derivatives. However, finding such host materials are limited and another materials combination has been anticipated. In this study, we developed a novel laser dye (DCNP) having a small singlet-triplet energy gap on the basis of the concept of thermally activated delayed fluorescence-based materials. Since the singlet-triplet energy gap of DCNP is as small as 0.44 eV, we can employ BSBCz as a triplet quenching host, i.e., the triplets formed on DCNP are easily transferred to BSBCz. The result would provide an alternative host-guest strategy of fabricating higher-performing laser devices.
