Abstract

The polymeric light-emitting diodes (PLEDs) in the present work consist of a double layer organic structure, i.e. ITO/hole transport material (HTM)-dispersed polymer/emitter/cathode. Fully aromatic polyimide, poly(4,4'- oxydiphenylene pyromellitimide) (PMDA-ODA PI), with outstanding thermal stability and high glass transition temperature of 377 degrees Celsius was introduced as a matrix polymer for binding the HTM. N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-di(m- tolyl)benzidine (TPD) and bis(8-hydroxyquinolinato)zinc(II) (Znq2) were used as a HTM and an emitter, respectively. The turn-on voltage was ca. 7 V. Bright greenish yellow light was observed at 11 V under room light.
