초록

We report the use of fluorene based copolymers containing quinoline(POF66, PIF66) and pyridine(PFPV) units as electron transporting polymers for multi-layered LEDs. Double-layer device structure combining PIF66 as electron-transporting layer with the emissive MEHPPV showed a maximum quantum efficiency of 0.03%, which is 30 fold increased compared with ITO/MEHPPV/Al single-layer device. PFPV layer increased the quantum efficiency up to 0.1% in the device structure of ITO/(P-3:PVK)/PFPV/Al. The ETL with the electron deficient moiety improved the LED performance by the characteristics of electron transporting as well as hole blocking between emissive layer and metal cathode.
