Abstract

The transient electroluminescence (EL) of phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) was investigated. The behaviors of the transient characteristics are analyzed using the triplet-triplet annihilation model. The device exhibited a gradual decrease in quantum current efficiency owing to the triplet-triplet annihilation at a high current density. At a higher current density, the reduced rise and decay times are due to high-density triplet excitons related to the enhanced triplet-triplet annihilation and the increase of the nonradiative process. The modulation speed of the devices is mainly limited by the phosphorescent recombination lifetime.
