Other fluorene-oxadiazole copolymers, such as fully conjugated 268a,b [360] or 269a-c, with conjugation interrupted by o-links [361], have been synthesized. For both series of polymers, emission was in the blue region at very similar wavelengths, but no LED device was reported. 

In the discussion of detection signals above, the focus has been primarily on increases or decreases in the polymer emission at one wavelength. It is also possible for the emission wavelength of the polymer itself to shift as result of interaction...

The inclusion of 5 wt% PCBM [l-(3-methoxycarbonyl)propyl-l-phe-nyl-[6,6]C6i] in the spin-coating solutions resulted in efficient polymer emission quenching for all the polythiophenes studied. The transient absorption spectra of the amorphous poly(541)/PCBM blend film. At 10 ps exhibited an absorption peak around 700 nm, similar to that observed for the poly(541) pristine film. The shape of the transient spectrum varied with time, with the absorption peak shifting from 700 nm at 10 is to 900 nm for time delays >100 (is, demonstrating the formation of two distinct transient species in the blend film. The monoexponential lifetime was t = 8 (is under Ar atmosphere and significantly shortened under 02 atmosphere. Monoexponential phase is therefore assigned to the decay of poly(541) triplet excitons. 

Figure 159 EL spectra (a) and EL transients (b) for SL ITO/ Polymer/Metal LEDs (1) ITO/MEH-PPV/A1 (2) ITO/MEH-PPV/ MEH-PPV/(Mg/Ag) (3) ITO/M3EH-PPV/(Mg/Ag). EL spectra are recorded at different voltage pulse amplitudes. Characteristic cathode metal emission lines are indicated along with the position of broad band-red shifted emission maxima from the polymers. For chemical meaning of MEH-PPV and of M3EH-PPV, see Figs. 106 and 108. The transient current under a lps pulse (4) and transient response of EL polymer and cathode metal emission spectral regions at two different pulse amplitudes, 4.3 MV/cm (5) and 6.6MV/cm (6) have been measured on ITO/MEH-PPV/A1 device. EL transient are normalized to the maximum intensity of the polymer emission. After Ref. [472]. Copyright 2000 American Institute of Physics.

Fig. 10.17. Philips incorporated a monochrome display in a shaver that came on to the market in September 2002, Fig. 10.18. OSRAM Opto Semiconductors introduced evaluation kits for a 128 by 64 pixel monochrome Pictiva OLED display in 2003, Fig. 10.19. Larger colour, video rate displays for use in portable systems are under development, Fig. 10.18. Polymer emissive displays appear to be well placed to make a considerable impact on the display market.

Figure 1 illustrates the total fluorescence matrix in contour format for BuPBD euid poly (VBuPBD) at 298K. These spectra graphically illustrate the above conclusions and the symmetry of the broadened profile of the polymer emission with respect to the emission/excitation axes is convincing evidence for the excimeric nature of the species responsible for the low energy intensity component. In addition the emission of both polymers reduces to that of the unassociated monomeric chromophore upon dispersal in a glassy (MeTHF) matrix at 77K. The effect is illustrated for poly (VBuPBD) in Figure 2. This observation is consistent with the formation of intramolecular excimers by a conformational sampling mecheutism.

Active matrix displays have a thin-film transistor (TFT) switching circuit embedded in the area of each individual pixel. Although the TFT backplanes needed for polymer emissive displays are similar to those developed for liquid crystal displays (LCDs), the TFT circuits must be capable of switching much higher currents than are required for LCDs. For active matrix displays, the luminescent semiconducting polymer and cathode, etc. are deposited directly onto the premanufactured TFT backplane (the anode for the LED pixel is built onto the TFT circuit). In an active matrix display, the pixels are held at constant brightness by the TFT circuit and the image is refreshed at video rates (e. g. 60 Hz). 

In display applications, fast (video rate) switching of the pixels is required. The intrinsic lifetime of the electroluminescence is the decay time of the photoluminescence i. e. less than a nanosecond. Thus, for pixilated polymer emissive displays, the switching rate is limited only by the RC time constant of the device. For the small pixels of a full-color display, C is sufficiently small that the devices can be switched in times in the nanosecond regime. This fast switching is demonstrated for a single pixel in Fig. 4.19. 

A photo of a full-color polymer emissive active matrix display is shown in Fig. 4.20.

Figure 22.31 shows the directional ASE spectra obtained by increasing either the excitation intensity I (a) or the excitation stripe length L (b) [96]. The results are virtually identical in both cases SN of the polymer emission was observed above certain threshold values for both I and L. This directional SE can be successfully modeled using the ASE approximation and Equation 22.11. Since y has a maximum at A 630 nm, then 7ase (630 nm) experiences the maximum gain whereas amplification at other As is relatively smaller. Consequently, this nonlinear amplification process leads to SN when either I or L increases.
