PolymersIntroductionElectroluminescent devices are showing promise for applications in future flat panel displays.Current flat panel display technology depends on inorganic light emitting diodes, backlit liquidcrystal displays, and vacuum fluorescent displays with field electron emission onto phosphors.The problem for manufacturers lies in how to reduce the cost of illuminated displays, whileincreasing their capacity and efficiency. Organic/molecular films may hold the solution to thisproblem.Observation of light emission has been observed in various polymers and copolymers of arylenevinylene, Polyphenylene vinylene (PPV) being the most efficient to date. However, a number ofconjugated homopolymers, copolymers, and polymer blends have been investigated. Thesematerials have
