Abstract

A new series of statistical alternating EL copolymer, poly[bis{2-(4-phenylenevinylene)-2-cyanoethenyl}- 9,9-dihexyl-9H-fluorene-2,7-yl-alt-1,4-phenylene vinylene] (polymer-I) was synthesized by the modified Heck coupling reaction, and their EL characteristics were also investigated. Double layer polymer light-emitting display (PLED) with the configuration of ITO/PEDOT/polymer/Al devices show maximum brightness and luminous efficiency up to 3000 $cd/m^{2}$ at 30 V and 0.07 lm/W at 21 V, respectively.
