Abstract
Communication: Quenching of the electroluminescence of polymer LEDs by the application of an aluminum protective layer by electron-beam evaporation ha s been investigated. It is shown that the secondary electrons present whene ver the electron beam is on are responsible for the degradation. The Figure illustrates how the poly (p-phenylene vinylene) device was masked to rule out the involvement of X-rays.
