Abstract

Electroluminescence (EL) is reported from a novel polymer blend of poly(2,5-dibutoxyphenylene) (PPP) and polymer poly(N-vinylcarbazole) (PVK). Since PPP and PVK are soluble in common organic solvents, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) can be fabricated by spin-coating films of the polymer blends from solution without subsequent processing or heat treatment. Indium-tin-oxide (ITO) and aluminum (Al) are used as the hole-injection and electron-injection electrodes, respectively. Blue light emission is observed at about 8 V and have a peak emission wavelength at 448 nm at room temperature. The EL efficiency is about 0.82%, which is greater than.that of pure PPP by approximately one order of magnitude.
