Semiconducting Polymers
• Conjugated‐π‐Electron‐System
• Contiguous sp2 hybridized carbon centers
• P‐orbitals form a one‐dimensional electronic 
b d
band
• Higher conductivity higher degree of 
g y g g
crystallinity and better alignment of the chains
Conducting Polymer
• Conductivity can be increased by
oxidation/reduction
Light Emitting Polymers
Light‐Emitting
• PPV was suggested for lighting application in 
1990
• Synthesis:
Light Emitting Polymers
Light‐Emitting
• By substituting a polymer different properties 
g
can be changed, like:
– Stability
– Solubility
– Conductivity
– Emission spectrum
Light Emitting Polymers

Fabrication
• Ink‐Jet‐Printing
k i i

+ High resolution + Large area
‐Uneven Emission because of different layer 
thicknesses 
Fabrication
• Spin‐Coating
i i

+ Uniform films
+ Simple R&D process
‐ High wastage
High wastage
‐ Not ideal for big production quantities
Phosphorescent OLEDs
• 2 types of excitons are possible 
– statistical ratio singlet:triplet
g p =1:3
Phosphorescent OLEDs
• In order for triplet excitons to emit, spin‐orbit 
p g q
coupling is required
• This effect is strong in heavy atoms
• Transition metals are common candidates to 
T ii l did
enable phosphorescence from organic
molecules
• Doping a host polymer with 
Doping a host polymer with
an organometallic complex
Advantages
• Light weight & flexible plastic substrates
• Wider viewing angles & improved brightness
Wider viewing angles & improved brightness
• Better power efficiency and thickness
• Response time
Disadvantages
• Lifespan
• Color balance issues
Color balance
• Outdoor performance
• High Cost
• Power consumption increases for white
