Abstract
The two decades of intensive research following the discovery of EL in thin organic-film based device by Tang and VanSlyke,1 and later in polymer films by Burroughs et al2 brought significant improvements in their characteristics. Currently the organic EL is seen as a candidate for a new generation of fullcolor displays and lighting applications. Major efforts have been concentrated on improving device efficiency, color gamut, lifetime and patterning techniques for achieving the full color displays.
