We fabricated inverted OLEDs using vacuum-deposited rubrene emitter layers and solution-processed acceptor layers composed of naphthalenediimid-based n-type polymer semiconductors. The fabricated OLEDs enable low-voltage driving with a turn-on voltage (1.3 eV) smaller than the bandgap energy of rubrene (2.2 eV) by utilizing the upconversion process via triplet-triplet annihilation.
