Photoluminescence and electroluminescence properties of poly(9-vinylcarbarzole) doped with anthracence derivatives containing bis(ethynylphenyl oxadiazole) or bis(vinylphenyl oxadiazole) substituents

The photoluminescence (PL) and electroluminescence (EL) properties of two novel light-emitting anthracence derivatives containing bis(ethynylphenyl oxadiazole) or bis(vinylphenyl oxadiazole) substituents (ANOs) blended with poly(9-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) are characterized. The energy transfer process in the blends is discussed. By employing 2,5-bis(5-tert-butyl-2-benzoxazolyl) thiophene (BBOT) and tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq3) as electron transporting layers (ETLs) in the EL devices, remarkable improvements in EL efficiency were observed. The effect of the transporting layer on the EL intensity of the devices is also discussed.
