Abstract
We report investigations of the photoluminescence (PL) and electroluminesce nce (EL) of a novel substituted thiophene oligomer. The high PL efficiency in solid state (23%), the high electron affinity, together with the good pr ocessability make this material competitive for applications in organic emi tting diodes (LEDs). EL efficiency of 0.1% is demonstrated in a stable LED with spin coated active layer.
