摘要：

By blending poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) into an electroluminescence (EL) polymer, significantly enhanced EL efficiency in a polymer light-emitting diode (PLED) with aluminum electrode was achieved. An orange-color-emitting PLED with 10 wt % PEG blending achieved device efficiencies exceeding 2.6 cd/A for a wide range of bias voltage, which is more than two orders of magnitude higher than that of a similar PLED without the PEG blending. The enhanced efficiency was a result of the reduction of electron injection barrier height at the cathode-polymer interface. It is believed that interfacial interaction that is specific to Al plays an important role in the enhancement mechanism. (C) 2004 American Institute of Physics.
