Triplet–triplet annihilation (TTA) up‐conversion is an effective way to utilize triplet excitons in organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs). However, the parameters characterizing the triplet excitons and relevant TTA process in OLEDs under working conditions have not been quantified. Here, an in situ method is established to map these parameters for further ascertaining their impact on device efficiency. The physical parameters, including triplet recombination rate, TTA rate, typical current JTTA, and saturated ratio, can be in situ quantified by transient electroluminescence technique. The expression of JTTA shows that minimizing the triplet quenching and maximizing the TTA rate are effective ways to lower JTTA. While highly efficient devices require a lower JTTA. Guided by these criteria, the device efficiency is promoted by weakening the triplet quenching via blending two materials. These investigations establish an in situ method to quantify the physical parameters that allow identifying the useful TTA materials and optimizing the design of device structures.
