Summary: Most light-based 3D printing methods rely on optical or chemical nonlinearities for polymerization reactions. Two-photon absorption is commonly used in 3D micro-and nanoprinting, but this article reviews three emerging processes that allow for quadratic nonlinearity without relying on two-photon absorption, namely upconversion luminescence, two-step absorption, and triplet-triplet annihilation. These (1 + 1)-photon absorption processes enable the use of continuous-wave lasers at lower peak powers and cost compared to two-photon absorption. The article discusses recent progress, challenges, and future perspectives.

Summary: This study reports the development of white organic light-emitting diodes (WOLEDs) based on platinum complexes with tunable correlated color temperature (CCT). By methylating the ligand, the interaction between Pt(II) complexes was regulated, resulting in adjustable emission and CCT of the WOLEDs. High device performances with high external quantum efficiency and low efficiency roll-offs were achieved using exciplex as a host. Moreover, the CCT of the WOLEDs could be tuned by changing the driving voltages, matching with the daylight spectrum.
