The paper presents the investigation of the poly(3,3'-phthalidylidene-
4,4'-biphenylylene) (PPB) film electroluminescence (EL). EL was found
to be of threshold origin, the threshold being 20 B. The voltage varie
d within a range of 0 V to 100 V. The quantum efficiency was 10%. The
results obtained led to a conclusion that EL is due to the recombinati
on processes developing in the polymer proper, for light-emitting acco
mpanying the sample failure belongs to a quite different spectrum area
. EL arises when the polymer is in a dielectric state. There is no EL
when the polymer is in a conducting state.
