Abstract

The conjugated ladder-type poly(paraphenylene) is an attractive material for blue polymer light emitting devices (PLED). Blending the active layer with small amounts of a red emitting guest polymer, the emission shifts from blue to red with increasing guest concentration due to efficient excitation energy transfer. The results of photoluminescence detected magnetic resonance, electroluminescence detected magnetic resonance measurements and current detected magnetic resonance measurements on PLEDs based on 0.05w%/o - 2w%/o red emitting poly(perylene-co-diethynylbenzene) (PPDB) in the active layer of the PLED are presented and discussed.
