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.
