Novel Alternating Current Electroluminescent Devices with anAsymmetric Structure Based on a Polymer Heterojunction

Novel alternating current electroluminescent devices with an
asymmetric structure are successfully fabricated by using a hole-type polymer, poly (2,5-bis (dodecyloxy)-phenylenevinylene) (PDDOPV) and an electron-type polymer, poly (phenyl quinoxaline) (PPQ). The performance of the polymer devices with heterojunction under ac operation is insensitive to thickness of the two polymer layers, compared to that under dc operation. This new advantage means an easy and cheap production facility on a large scale in the near future. Different emission spectra are obtained when our ac devices are operated in an ac mode, forward, or reverse bias. The emission spectrum at reverse bias includes two parts. One from PDDOPV and the other is from PPQ.
