COMPOSITE BASED POLYMERIC DISPLAYS: AN INTRODUCTION TO A NEW SMART ENGINEERING APPROACH TO INCORPORATE TRANSITION METALS TO THE POLYMER MATRIX

This paper reports on production and characterisation of polymeric composites for display device applications. Polymeric composite based electroluminescence devices (PCELD) were developed using a metal-doped organic layer as an electron-injecting layer. Using transition metals including Ni, Fe and Cu as dopant and MEH-PPV (Poly(2-Methoxy,5-(2'-Ethyl-hexyloxy)-P-Phenylenevinylene)) as the emitter layer, the authors studied the photoluminescence (PL) intensity of the doped polymer by incorporation of metals in two different ways. These are physical incorporation (laser ablation) and chemical incorporation (mixing). It has been found that Fe can improve the PL intensity of an undoped polymer if the laser ablation process is carried out for 30 and 60 seconds. However, the PL intensity decreased when the mixing method was used with different concentrations of the transition metals. (a) For the covering entry of this conference, please see ITRD abstract no.
