[OLED1-3] Mechanisms of Initial Luminance Loss in Fluorescent Organic Light-Emitting Diodes Unveiled by Time-Resolved Spectroscopies
Triplet-triplet annihilation, Initial degradation, Quenching of singlet and triplet excitons
Time-resolved electroluminescence (EL) of Alq3-based OLEDs revealed that delayed EL emission via triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA). We found that the initial luminescence loss of the OLED is caused by quenching of not only singlet but also triplet excitons. Triplet quenching by trapped positive charges decreases in singlet excitons created via TTA.
