We report investigations of the photoluminescence (PL) and electroluminescence (EL) of a thiophene oligomer for which we have devised a variety of substitutions aimed at enhancing the solid-state efficiency. We find that the absolute PL quantum efficiency in the solid state is up 37% for both powders or spin-coated thin films of the compound. The material thus becomes competitive for applications in organic light-emitting diodes (LEDs). EL efficiencies up to 1.2 cd/A are demonstrated in LEDs prepared with indium-tin-oxide and Ca-Al electrodes. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics. [S0003-6951(99)00430-1].
