Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) polymers are designed and synthesized by grafting the TADF emitter to the side chain of the polycarbazole backbone. By employing these TADF polymers with large ratio of delayed fluorescence component and high photoluminescence quantum yield as the emitters, the solution‐processed light‐emitting diodes achieve a maximal external quantum efficiency of 16.1% at a luminance of around 100 cd m −2 .
