Abstract

We report our investigations of the photophysical properties of a so-called “donor-acceptor” (D-A) electroluminescent polymer incorporating N-alkyl-4,7-di(thien-2-yl)-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole-5,6-dicarboxylic imide (DI) as the electron acceptor and benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b´]dithiophene (BDT) acceptor units. Polymer light-emitting diodes (PLEDs) based on this copolymer give the best efficiency (external quantum efficiency EQE~0.04%) and show a pure near-infrared (NIR) electroluminescence (EL) with a peak at 870 nm.
