Abstract

Layer-by-layer molecular self-assembly has been used to fabricate multilayer heterostructures containing poly(phenylene vinylene) (PPV) and a variety of polyanions. These ultrathin films exhibit widely different photoluminescence intensities and peak positions (emission color) depending on the polyanion used. The characteristics of light-emitting devices based on such films are described. This represents the first demonstration of working organic light-emitting diodes, the active layer of which consists of ultrathin, self-assembled films of between 130 - 500 Å
