1: The
prototypical (green) fluorescent polymer is
poly(p-phenylene vinylene)
2 & 3: Two
best known (orange-red) solution
processible conjugated polymers MEH-PPV (2)
and ``OC1C10'' PPV (3).
4: Copolymers
have been widely developed because they
allow color tuning and can show improved
luminescence.
5 & 6:
Cyano-derivatives of PPV 5 and 6 show increased
electron affinities and are used as
electron transport materials.
7: Blue
emitters include high-purity polymers such
as poly(dialkylfluorene)s.
8 &
9: `Doped' polymers such as poly(dioxyethylene thienylene), PEDOT (8), doped with polystyrenesulphonic acid, PSS (9), are widely used as hole-injection layers.
