A novel poly[9,10-diphenylanthracene-4',4"-ylenevinylene-3,6-(N-2-ethyl hexyl)carbazole] containing alternate diphenylanthracene and carbazole unit was synthesized by the Wittig reaction. The obtained polymer was soluble in common organic solvents and thermally stable up to 380 $^{\circ}C.$ The polymer gives rise to bright blue fluorescence both in solution and in thin solid films. The light emitted from the device (ITO/polymer/Al) was greenish-blue in color and clearly visible in daylight.

Ultra-thin films of poly[2-[4-(9-(10-phenyl)anthracenyl)phenoxy)hexyloxy]]-1,4-phenylenevinyleylene(PAHPV) were prepare-d on the hydrophilic ITO substrate by Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) technique. ${\lambda}_{max}$ in the photoluminescence spectrum of these films was 458nm at the excitation wavelength of 365nm before thermal treatment, which comes from diphenylanthracene side chain of PAHPV. It was also confirmed with UV-Vis spectrometer that ultra-thin LB films of PAHPV precursor polymer were prepared well. After thermal treatment for conjugation of PAHPV precursor polymer, ${\lambda}_{max}$ in the photoluminescence spectrum of these films changed to 365nm, which means that the conjugation of these PAHPV films was completed.

Two donor-acceptor-donor monomers such as 3,5-bis(4-bromophenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole (BOB) and 3,5-bis(5-bromothiophen-2-yl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole (TOT) incorporating electron transporting and hole blocking 1,2,4-oxadiazloe moiety were copolymerized with light emitting fluorene derivative via Suzuki polycondensation to afford two new polymers, PFBOB and PFTOT, respectively. The optical studies for polymers PFBOB and PFTOT revealed that the band gaps are 3.10 eV and 2.72 eV, respectively, and polymer PFBOB exhibited a deep-blue emission while polymer PFTOT showed blue emission in chloroform and as thin film. The photoluminescence quantum efficiencies (${\Phi}_f$) of polymers PFBOB and PFTOT in chloroform calculated against highly blue emitting 9,10-diphenylanthracene (DPA, ${\Phi}_f=0.90$) were 1.00 and 0.44, respectively.

Novel carbazole based copolymers were synthesized by Suzuki coupling polymerization. (Diphenylene)vinylene and n-octyl was introduced to carbazole as pendants for reducing band gap and improving solubility, respectively. Thermal, photoluminescence and electro-luminescence of copolymers were studied for applying the emitting layer of polymer light emitting diode (PLED). Maximum UV-vis absorption and photoluminescence (PL) emission wavelength of copolymers showed 333~340 nm and 409~464 nm in solution state, respectively. The relative quantum yield using 9,10-diphenylanthracene as a reference was 25.8%. These copolymers exhibited high thermal stability ($T_d$ = $350^{\circ}C$) and good film forming ability. Good luminance was obtained at voltages lower than 8 V and the onset voltage was observed at 4.0 V.

We herein report efficient triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion (TTA-UC) achieved in various non-toxic and non-volatile vegetable oils as a UC media using platinum-octaethylporphyrin (PtOEP) and 9,10-diphenylanthracene (DPA) as a sensitizer and acceptor, respectively. Green-to-blue UC was readily achieved from PtOEP/DPA solution in vegetable oils with the quantum yield of 8% without any deoxygenation process. The UC efficiency was found to be significantly dependent on the contents of unsaturated hydrocarbon in vegetable oils and viscosity of the solution, as well. Though the Stern-volmer constant and quantum yield in vegetable oils were measured to be lower than those measured in the deaerated organic solvent, the quenching efficiency was still high enough to be 93%. In the sunflower oil, the UC threshold intensity ($I_{th}$) was approx. $100mW/cm^2$, which is far larger than the sunlight intensity, but we believe that the UC achieved in non-toxic and air-saturated media was still highly applicable to nontraditional visualization techniques such as bioimaging.
