Light-emitting diodes based on conjugated polymers

It is shown here that poly(p-phenylene vinylene), prepared by way of a solution-processable precursor, can be used as the active element in a large-area LED. The combination of good structural properties of this polymer, its ease of fabrication, and light emission in the green-yellow part of the spectrum with reasonably high efficiency suggest that the polymer can be used for the development of large-area light-emitting displays.
