Electroluminescence in conjugated polymers has attracted wide interest for applications in display devices. The efficiency of these materials is strongly affected by the spin statistics governing charge carrier recombination. We recently developed a technique to allow triplet excitons to be visualised directly by enabling strong, spatially localised spin-orbit coupling, which permits room temperature phosphorescence. Using this phosphorescence signature, we can directly probe the singlet to triplet ratio in organic light emitting diodes under strong magnetic fields. We observe a substantial negative magnetoresistance of up to 20 % at 8 T, while the singlet to triplet ratio of the emission is only weakly affected by the magnetic field and saturates above 1 T. This demonstrates that the magnetic field is not able to hybridise the two spin states or lead to spin alignment in the recombinant state, thus implying a substantial exchange splitting within the exciton precursor. In the absence of a strong spin mixing channel, device efficiencies above the spin statistical limit of 25 % appear improbable.
