Abstract

Spin-coated thin films of cyclohexane-based liquid crystalline materials were used for the fabrication of electroluminescent diodes. Electroluminescence from single-component films of cyclohexane-based liquid crystalline materials was observed. Double component films composed of a cyclohexane-based liquid crystalline material and a conventional hole transport dye were shown to give improved electroluminescence performances, but emission was due to exciplexes composed of two components. Use of cyclohexane-based dye molecules was effective for suppressing the formation of inter-molecular complexes. The highest external quantum efficiency observed was 0.17%.
