Abstract
Optical and electroluminescent properties of a new poly(p-phenylene)-t ype polymer, poly(benzoyl-1, 4-phenylene) (PBP) were studied. PBP is s oluble in common organic solvents, has high thermal stability and show s bright blue photoluminescence. Light-emitting diodes fabricated with PBP as the active layer emit blue electroluminescence with a peak wav elength at 446 nm and a brightness of about 100 cd/m(2).
