Abstract

Efficient blue electroluminescence, peaked at 436 nm, is demonstrated from polymer light-emitting diodes operating at high brightness. A dioctyl-substituted polyfluorene was used as the emissive layer in combination with a polymeric triphenyldiamine hole transport layer. The luminance reaches 600 cd/m2 at a current density of 150 mA/cm2 for a bias voltage of 20 V, corresponding to an efficiency of 0.25 cd/A and a luminosity of 0.04 lm/W. These values are optimized at a critical emissive layer thickness. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.
