Egj. Staring et al., PHOTOLUMINESCENCE AND ELECTROLUMINESCENCE EFFICIENCY IN SOLUBLE POLY(DIALKYL-P-PHENYLENEVINYLENE), Advanced materials, 6(12), 1994, pp. 934-937
Efficient green electroluminescence from PPV derivatives that are read
ily processible in the conjugated state is reported. Derivatives of po
ly(p-phenylenevinylene), PPV, offer possible ways of controlling the e
mission color, facilitating processing, and enhancing the emission eff
iciency. The synthesis of soluble poly(dialkyl-p-phenylenevinylene) is
described and the dependence of the efficiency of photoluminescence a
nd electroluminescence on the degree of conjugation is discussed.
