Abstract

We report the electroluminescence behaviour of the devices made with the polymer blend of two emissible polymers, poly(2-methoxy,5-(2′ethyl-hexoxy)-1,4-phenylene vinylene)(MEHPPV) and poly[ 1,3-propanedioxy- 1,4-phenylene- 1,2-ethenylene-(2,5-bis(trimethylsilyl)- 1,4- phenylene)-l,2-ethenylene-l,4-phenylene](B-polymer) luminescing at 580 nm and 480 nm respectively. The quantum efficiency increases with the composition ratio of B-polymer by two order of magnitude of that of MEH-PPV. Luminescence behaviour of the blend system was explained by hole blocking, exciton transfer behavior of the matrix polymer (B-polymer) and efficient confinement of the injected carriers in MEH-PPV.
