P. Dyreklev et al., POLARIZED ELECTROLUMINESCENCE FROM AN ORIENTED SUBSTITUTED POLYTHIOPHENE IN A LIGHT-EMITTING DIODE, Advanced materials, 7(1), 1995, pp. 43-45
Communication: Polarized light sources based on stretch-oriented conju
gated polymers are reported. The devices, based on poly(3-(4-octylphen
yl)-2,2'-bithiophene, show an external quantum efficiency of 0.1% and
are produced using a very simple method which may be easily extended t
o other polymers. The fabrication of the devices is described and fact
ors such as the emission and spectral differences parallel and perpend
icular to the stretching direction discussed.
