Conclusions
We have synthesized and characterized novel blue-light emitting polymers containing blue chromophore 9,10-di(2-naphthyl)anthracene.These polymers show excellent solubility and thermal stability.The absorption and emission spectra indicate that the active chromophores in the polymers are 9,10-di(2-naphthyl)anthracenes. Polymers show blue photoluminescence in solution and solid state.The single layer LED devices emit blue light with low turn-on voltages.The device efficiency can be significantly improved with the proper engineering of polymer-electrode interface.Future work will focus on improving device efficiency by optimizing device structures in respect to hole-and electron injection materials.
