Direct and Alternating Current Light-Emitting Devices Based on Pyridine-Containing Conjugated Polymers

  • Chapter
Organic Light-Emitting Devices

Abstract

In the past decade, there has been great interest in organic molecular and polymeric electroluminescent devices, particularly conjugated-polymer-based light-emitting devices (LEDs).1–4 Electroluminescence (EL) combined with other unique properties of polymers, such as solution processability, bandgap tunability, and mechanical flexibility, make conjugated polymers excellent candidates for low-cost large-area display applications.
