Organic Multilayer-Dye Electroluminescent Diodes — is There any Difference with Polymer LED?

  • Chapter
Intrinsically Conducting Polymers: An Emerging Technology

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 246))

Abstract

Performance of organic multilayer dye electroluminescent (EL) diodes which are prepared by vacuum vapor deposition of several organic dyes are compared with that of polymer EL diodes which are prepared from main-chain π-conjugated polymers. Similarity and dissimilarity of multilayer-dye LED and polymer LED are discussed.
