Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials have emerged as a promising avenue for developing efficient and stable blue organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) without incorporating heavy metals. Among the numerous donor-acceptor architectures explored, the carbazole (Cz) and benzonitrile (BN) combination has demonstrated exceptional potential for blue OLED applications. Herein, we delve into the recent advances in TADF materials based on the Cz-BN framework, with a particular focus on design strategies to accelerate exciton dynamics and improve material stability through kinetic and thermodynamic optimization. Eventually, challenges associated with the Cz-BN systems in blue OLEDs, as well as prospective research directions that could unlock the full potential of this intriguing category of materials, are also discussed.
