Solution-phase electroluminescence

Chem Commun (Camb). 2002 Sep 7:(17):1954-5. doi: 10.1039/b205298a.

Abstract

We report emissive devices exhibiting electroluminescence in the solution phase. The principle operating mechanism for these devices--direct electronic carrier injection from the electrodes into the carrier bands of the dissolved polymer--resembles that of a conventional solid-state organic light-emitting diode and is distinct from the solvent-mediated electrochemical devices recently reported by Chang et al.
