Abstract

ABSTRACTElectrical impedance spectroscopy is used to show that time-dependent charge trapping processes occur in double-layer polymer light-emitting diodes based on poly(ethylene-dioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonic acid) (PEDOT:PSS) and poly(p-phenylene vinylene) (PPV). No time-dependent charge trapping processes are observed in single-layer devices based on PPV only. Furthermore, in double-layer devices based on poly(2,7-spirofluorene) (PSF) instead of PPV, such processes are also absent. Traps are probably created in the PPV layer close to the PEDOT:PSS interface due to chemical reactions that occur specifically between PEDOT:PSS and PPV.
