Abstract :
Poly(p-phenylene vinylene)s (PPVs) are promising materials for optoelectronic applications, especially for displays based on polymer light emitting diodes (PLEDs). We report here our findings concerning defect structures in this class of materials and the implications of the discovered irregularities on important material properties, that is, the operational life in a PLED. Recent improvements, which were deduced from this findings, are presented: optimized PPVs with a lower amount of defects result in a strong increase of operational lifetime.
