To boost intrinsic circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) properties of chiral emitters, an axially chiral biphenyl unit is inlaid in thermally activated delayed fluorescent (TADF) skeleton, urging the participation of chiral source in frontier molecular orbital distributions. A pair of enantiomers, (R)‐BPPOACZ and (S)‐BPPOACZ, containing the cyano as electron‐withdrawing moieties and carbazole and phenoxazine as electron‐donating units are synthesized and separated. The circularly polarized TADF enantiomers exhibit both high photoluminescence quantum yield of 86.10% and excellent CPL activities with maximum dissymmetry factor |gPL| values of almost 10−2 in solution and 1.8 × 10−2 in doped film, which are among the best values of previously reported small chiral organic materials. Moreover, the circularly polarized organic light‐emitting diodes based on the TADF enantiomers achieve the maximum external quantum efficiency of 16.6% with extremely low efficiency roll‐off. Obvious circularly polarized electroluminescence signals with |gEL| values of 4 × 10−3 are also recorded. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
