Abstract

A soluble electroluminescent polymer containing hole-deficient triphenylamine and electron-deficient oxadiazole units in the main chains has been designed and studied. The design is based on the consideration that the triphenylamine group possesses good hole-transporting property and the oxadiazole unit is known to be of electron-transporting character. Because of the good bipolar transporting performance, the brightness and electroluminescent efficiency are significantly improved and the turn-on voltage is reduced compared with a similar polymer without the electron-deficient oxadiazole units in the main chains. For a device with configuration ITO/PEDOT/polymer/CsF/Al, a maximum brightness of 3600 cd m−2 and a maximum luminescent efficiency of 0.65 cd A−1 (quantum efficiency of 0.3%) were obtained in the polymer with oxadiazole units, about 15 times brighter and 15 times more efficient than the corresponding polymer without oxadiazole units.
