Low-dimensional ternary copper iodides are highly promising for future health displays and eco-friendly lighting due to their structural stability, excellent optoelectronic properties, high abundance, and low cost. However, the lack of a deep understanding of the complex charge transfer (CT) mechanism in their excited state dynamics hinders the efficiency progress of copper-based optoelectronic devices. Here, we provide a comprehensive analysis of the intermolecular CT excited-state dynamics in CsCu2I3 light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and demonstrate the long-range coupled characteristics of CT excitons. We report a strategy to achieve long-range coupled CT excited state by spatially separating electron-hole pairs, thereby enhancing the electroluminescence performance of CsCu2I3 LEDs. Carrier dynamics analysis reveals that the long-range coupled CT excited state achieves the highest delayed fluorescence contribution at the optimal coupling intensity, facilitating more efficient triplet energy harvesting. Accordingly, the CsCu2I3 LEDs exhibit a maximum external quantum efficiency of 4.3% and a peak luminance of 3666 cd/m2, representing the highest luminance reported to date. Furthermore, the universality of the long-range coupled CT excited state has been demonstrated in other device structures. This study establishes a new method to pave the way for enhanced performance of CsCu2I3 LEDs toward practical applications
