The demand for new luminescent materials in organic light-emitting and display devices is increasing, with conventional emitters limiting large-area device processing due to their crystalline state performance. Solvent-free organic liquids, a promising alternative, offer high luminescent quantum yield, stability, and processability. However, their sticky surface and inherent incurability limit their use in devices. The proposal aims to explore polymerizable organic liquids for large-area device applications as a replacement for solid emitters. Long persistent luminescence with light emission from minutes to hours is also being explored. SOLs-based LPL materials that can be painted on surfaces to form continuous thin films are promising for futuristic applications. The proposal addresses challenges such as finding alternate emissive materials, polymerizable hybrid SOLs for flexible and foldable light-emitting devices, donor-acceptor-based hybrid SOLs for LPL materials, and paint-like materials with extended light emission. The right donor-acceptor combination will be experimented to create large-area lighting and display devices through collaboration.
