This book surveys the current status of the field. It begins with an overview of the physics and chemistry of OLEDs. Subsequenbt chapters discuss the design of molecular materials for high performance devices and chemical degradation and physical aging, microcavity OLEDs, polymer morphology and device performance. Further topics are various aspects of devices based on polyparaphenylene vinylenes, OLEDs based on poly(paraphenylene) and poly(pyridine).
The book concludes with a chapter on polyfluorene-based devices, which show great promise for producing light in all colors from blue to red.
