Deep blue photoluminescence and electroluminescence are demonstrated from a
soluble conjugated polymer, poly(9,9-dihexylfluorene-alt-co-2,5-didecyloxy
-para-phenylene). The PL quantum efficiency is approximately 40%. Cyclic vo
ltammetry measurements indicate that the highest occupied molecular orbital
and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energies are 5.66 and 2.62 eV belo
w vacuum, respectively. Single-layer and multilayer light-emitting diodes e
mit deep blue light (peak at similar to 420 nm). (C) 1999 American Institut
