The transient electroluminescence (EL) of phosphorescent organiclight-emitting diodes (OLEDs) was investigated. The behaviors of thetransient characteristics are analyzed using the triplet-tripletannihilation model. The device exhibited a gradual decrease in quantumcurrent efficiency owing to the triplet-triplet annihilation at a highcurrent density. At a higher current density, the reduced rise and decaytimes are due to high-density triplet excitons related to the enhancedtriplet-triplet annihilation and the increase of the nonradiative process.The modulation speed of the devices is mainly limited by the phosphorescentrecombination lifetime.
