Abstract
Abstract The effect of exciton‐induced degradation of hole transport layers (HTLs) and its influence on efficiency and stability of phosphorescent organic light emitting devices (PhOLEDs) are investigated. In order to be able to isolate and study the effect of excitons on HTLs, UV illumination as a means to expose them to exciton stress is used. Results reveal that exciton stress of only the HTLs can lead to a significant deterioration in the electroluminescence external quantum efficiency and stability of PhOLEDs, revealing the detrimental role of exciton‐induced degradation of HTLs in limiting the device performance. The creation of quenchers in HTLs and the diffusion of excitons from the HTL to the EML appear to play roles in this degradation mechanism. Observations reveal that exciton‐induced degradation of HTLs more strongly impacts PhOLEDs than their fluorescent counterparts, revealing the more critical role that HTLs play in influencing their stability and pointing to the role of triplet excitons in this phenomenon. Observations also suggest that increasing the exciton stability of HTLs or reducing exciton lifetime in them can help increase device stability. The findings uncover a new degradation mode in PhOLEDs and provide key insights for device design for realizing better performance and stability.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
