Highly efficient fluorescence organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on the mixed 4,4′,4″-tris[3-methylphenyl(phenyl)amino]triphenylamine:tris-[3-(3-pyridyl) mesityl]borane (1:1) system are reported. The electroluminescence due to the exciplex emission is red shifted when the thickness of the electron-transporting layer increases. The prepared OLEDs achieve a low turn-on voltage of 2.1 V, a high current efficiency of 36.79 cd/A, and a very high luminescence of 17 100 cd/m{sup 2}, as well as a low efficiency roll-off. The current efficiency of the optimized OLED is maintained at more than 28.33 cd/A up to 10 000 cd m{sup −2}. The detailed recombination mechanism of the prepared OLEDs is investigated by the transient electroluminescence method. It is concluded that there are no contributions from trapped charges and annihilations of triplet-triplet excitons to the detected electroluminescence.
