摘要
This paper reports the fabrication and evaluation of light-emitting diodes using polyfluorene derivatives as emitter, which cover the entire visible spectral range. Depending on the composition of the copolymers, red (emission peak at 656 nm), green (488 nm) and blue (428 nm) emission was obtained without any excimer formation. The optimization of the device performances has been realized using a multilayered configuration which involves a spin-coated poly (ethylenedioxythiophene) doped with poly(styrene sulfonic acid) (PEDT-PSS) thin film on the ITO anode and an ultrathin lithium fluoride layer next to the Al cathode. These two layers improve the efficiency of the charge injection. Combining this device configuration with some additional charge-transporting molecules, luminances in the range of 50-300 cd m(-2) have been obtained.
