We demonstrate that a simple phenazine derivative can serve as a dual emitter for organic light-emitting diodes, showing simultaneous luminescence from the singlet and triplet excited states at room temperature without the need of heavy-atom substituents. Although devices made with this emitter achieve only low quantum efficiencies of < 0.2%, changes in fluorescence and phosphorescence intensity on the subpercent scale caused by an external magnetic field of up to 30 mT are clearly resolved with an ultra-low-noise optical imaging technique. The results demonstrate the concept of using simple reporter molecules, available commercially, to optically detect the spin of excited states formed in an organic light-emitting diode and thereby probe the underlying spin statistics of recombining electron-hole pairs. A clear anticorrelation of the magnetic-field dependence of singlet and triplet emission shows that it is the spin interconversion between singlet and triplet which dominates the magnetoluminescence response: the phosphorescence intensity decreases by the same amount as the fluorescence intensity increases. The concurrent detection of singlet and triplet emission as well as device resistance at cryogenic and room temperature constitute a useful tool to disentangle the effects of spin-dependent recombination from spin-dependent transport mechanisms.
