Electroluminescence of poly(N-vinylcarbazole) films: fluorescence, phosphorescence and electromers

Abstract

We have studied the electroluminescence (EL) properties of pure poly(N-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) films. Three types of light emission in the EL spectrum were observed, attributed to fluorescence, phosphorescence and electromers, respectively. The observation of electrophosphorescence from PVK films at room temperature is very meaningful, indicating that PVK can produce a large number of triplet excitons under an electric field at room temperature. Our results demonstrate clearly the reason why PVK is an excellent host material for phosphorescent polymer light-emitting diodes (PLEDs).
