초록

Fluorenevinylene-based EL polymers, poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene-2,7-vinylene) (PFV) and poly[(9,9-dioctylfluorene-2,7-vinylene)-co-{2-methoxy-5-(2 ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene}] (PFV-co-MEH-PPV), have been synthesized by Gilch polymerization method. The resulting polymers were soluble in common organic solvents and easily spin cast onto the indium-tin oxide (ITO) substrate. The weight average molecular weight and polydispersity of PFV and PFV-co-MEH-PPV were in the range of 22.2 - 43.2 x $10^4$ and 1.9 - 3.0, respectively. Double-layer light-emitting diodes with ITO/PEDOT/Polymer/Al configuration were fabricated. PFV-co-MEH-PPV showed better EL properties than those of PFV and MEH-PPV The turn-on voltage of poly(9,9dialkylfluorene) derivatives were dramatically decreased to the 2.5 V compared to fluorene-based EL polymers. The maximum brightness and luminescence efficiency were up 7 to 1350 cd/$m^2$ and 0.51 Cd/A.
