A light-emitting diode (LED) using poly(2,3-diphenylquinoxaline-5,8-di
yl) (PdPhQx) as the light-emitting material, ITO/PdPhQx/MgAg, emits bl
ue-green (490 nm) light. Introduction of hole transporting layers such
as vacuum-deposited or spin-coated thin layers of poly(thiophene-2,5-
diyl), poly(p-phenylene), and poly(N-vinylcarbazole) between ITO and P
dPhQx in the LED enhances electroluminescence efficiency by about two
orders of magnitude. Addition of a diaryldiamine (TPD) in the PdPhQx l
ayer causes a red shift of the emitted light to 565 nm due to formatio
n of an exciplex between PdPhQx and TPD.
