    Abstract

    Since the first report of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) concept in 2001, it has received intense attentions from academy and industry because of its important applications in diverse research fronts. Up to now, the luminogens with AIE property (AIEgens) have been widely used in optoelectronic devices, fluorescent bioprobes and chemosensors, and researchers have also committed to exploring the potentials of AIEgens in other cross-cutting areas. The AIEgens have shown superior advantages such as highly efficient emissions in the aggregated state and thus exhibited better performances in comparison with traditional luminescent materials whose emissions are usually quenched upon aggregate formation. In view of the significant achievements of AIEgens in recent years, this review presents representative advancements of AIEgens for the applications in organic optoelectronic devices, mainly including organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) devices, electrofluorochromic (EFC) devices, luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs), and liquid crystal displays (LCDs). Not only the design strategies of AIEgens for these optoelectronic devices are analyzed, but also their structure-property relationship and working mechanism are elucidated. It is foreseeable that robust AIEgens with specific functionalities will find more and more applications in various research fields and play an increasingly important role in high-tech devices.
