Abstract

Poly(ρ-phenylene vinylene)s (PPVs) are very promising materials for optoelectronic applications, especially for displays based on polymer light emitting diodes (PLEDs). We report here our findings concerning defect structures in this materials and the influence of the discovered irregularities on an important property of the materials, i.e. the operational life in a PLED. Recent improvements, which were deviated from this findings are presented: optimized PPVs with a lower amount of defects result in a strong increase of operational lifetime.
