Abstract

Polymer light-emitting diodes(PLEDs) have great potential application in large area flat panel displays and general lighting so intense academic and industrial research, and impressive scientific and technological progress has been achieved in this field. However, the efficiency and stability of PLEDs till need to be improved in order to fully realize the advantages of low cost and ease of fabrication provided by organic materials. Here, we report our effort to enhance the PLED' s performance in two approaches : 1) Utilizing nano-structured materials such as nano particles, clay, nano porous silica in active layer 2) Modifying the device structure in nano scale to improve not only the device efficiency but also its stability.
