The first observations of electroluminescence from organic materials were made in the 1950s [1]. Interest in this phenomenon was fueled by the work of Pope et al. [2], who observed electroluminescence from single crystals of anthracene. A voltage was applied between silver paste electrodes that were placed on the opposite sides of an anthracene...

One application for organic electroluminescent materials is in the construction of lightweight backlights for LC displays (see Chapter 3, section 3.8). If organic electroluminescent (OEL) materials emitted polarised light they could make the polariser...

Polysilanes are cr-conjugated polymers composed of Si-Si skeletons and organic pendant groups. They are insulators with filled intramolecular valence bands and empty intramolecular conduction bands. However, because of strong cr conjugation, they have rather narrow band gaps of less than 4 eV [24,25] and are converted to conductors by photoexcitation or by doping electron donors or acceptors. Recently they have attracted much attention because of their potential utility as one-dimensional conductors, nonlinear optical materials, and electroluminescent materials [26-28].
