Vapor deposition polymerization (VDP) is described as a new method to fabri
cate electron transport layers based on poly(phenylquinoxalines) (PPQs) for
organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). The polycondensation reaction of te
traketone and tetraamine monomers is analytically investigated within co-ev
aporated layers and model systems using differential scanning calorimetry (
DSC), gel permeation chromatography (GPC), UV-VIS spectroscopy, and thermog
ravimetric analysis (TGA). First two-layer OLEDs with PPQs made by a VDP pr
ocess are presented. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
