White Electroluminescence by Supramolecular Control of Energy Transfer in Blends of Organic-Soluble Encapsulated Polyfluorenes

ADVANCED FUNCTIONAL MATERIALS, Issue 2 2010
Sergio Brovelli
Abstract Here, it is demonstrated that energy transfer in a blend of semiconducting polymers can be strongly reduced by non-covalent encapsulation of one constituent, ensured by threading of the conjugated strands into functionalized cyclodextrins. Such macrocycles control the minimum intermolecular distance of chromophores with similar alignment, at the nanoscale, and therefore the relevant energy transfer rates, thus enabling fabrication of white-light-emitting diodes (CIE coordinates: x,=,0.282, y,=,0.336). In particular, white electroluminescence in a binary blend of a blue-emitting, organic-soluble rotaxane based on a polyfluorene derivative and the green-emitting poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene-alt-benzothiadiazole (F8BT) is achieved. Morphological and structural analyses by atomic force microscopy, fluorescence mapping, µ-Raman, and fluorescence lifetime microscopy are used to complement optical and electroluminescence characterization, and to enable a deeper insight into the properties of the novel blend.

White Electroluminescence from a Phosphonate-Functionalized Single-Polymer System with Electron-Trapping Effect

ADVANCED MATERIALS, Issue 36 2009
Xin Guo
A novel strategy for obtaining white electroluminescence (EL) is based on the mechanism of electron trapping on host. Phosphonate-functionalized polyfluorene is chosen as host owing to its strong electron affinity. Electrons are confined mostly by host pendants in the EL process, which suppresses charge transfer from host to dopant. White EL with CIE coordinates of (0.34,0.35) is achieved. [source]

White electroluminescence from a single polyfluorene containing bis-DCM units

JOURNAL OF POLYMER SCIENCE (IN TWO SECTIONS), Issue 15 2007
Sang Kyu Lee
Abstract A series of fluorene-based copolymers composed of blue- and orange-light-emitting comonomers were synthesized through palladium-catalyzed Suzuki coupling reactions. 9,9-Dihexylfluorene and 2-(2,6-bis-{2-[1-(9,9-dihexyl-9H -fluoren-2-yl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolin-6-yl]-vinyl}-pyran-4-ylidene)-malononitrile (DCMF) were used as the blue- and orange-light-emitting chromophores, respectively. The resulting single polymers exhibited simultaneous blue (423/450 nm) and orange (580,600 nm) emissions from these two chromophores. By adjusting the fluorene and DCMF contents, white light emission could be obtained from a single polymer; a device with an ITO/PEDOT:PSS/polymer/Ca/Al configuration was found to exhibit pure white electroluminescence with Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.33, 0.31), a maximum brightness of 1180 cd/m2, and a current efficiency of 0.60 cd/A. Furthermore, the white light emission of this device was found to be very stable with respect to variation of the driving voltage. The CIE coordinates of the device were (0.32, 0.29), (0.32, 0.29), and (0.33, 0.31) for driving voltages of 7, 8, and 10 V, respectively. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
