title: Metal-Organic and Organic TADF-Materials: Status, Challenges and Characterization.
abstract: This section covers both metal-organic and organic materials that feature thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF). Such materials are especially useful for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), a technology that was introduced in commercial displays only recently. We compare both material classes to show commonalities and differences, highlighting current issues and challenges. Advanced spectroscopic techniques as valuable tools to develop solutions to those issues are introduced. Finally, we provide an outlook over the field and highlight future trends.
