Abstract
A series of novel red-emitting conjugated polymers were synthesized, adopting host-guest technique, with fluorene-carbazole backbone and low bandgap unit, 1,1-dimethyl-3,4-di(triphenylamine)-2,5-dithienyl)silole, as the guest chromophore. Those materials were well characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance, elemental analysis, absorption and fluorescence spectra, and cyclic voltammetry. The HOMO energy levels of these three copolymers locate within the range of −5.40∼−5.33 eV which are greatly elevated compared with that of polyfluorene and match the work funtions of ITO and ITO/PEDOT:PSS (about −4.7 eV and −5.0 eV, respectively) better, indicating smaller hole-injection barrier. Polymeric light-emitting diodes (PLED) with the configuration of ITO/PEDOT:PSS(40 nm)/PFO-Cz-TPATST(80 nm)/CsF(1.5 nm)/Al(100 nm) and ITO/PEDOT:PSS(40 nm)/PFO-Cz-TPATST(80 nm)/1,3,5-tris(2-N-phenylbenzimidazolyl)benzene (TPBI) (30 nm)/CsF(1.5 nm)/Al(100 nm) were fabricated respectively. Highest luminous efficiency of 1.06 cd A−1 was achieved.
