Abstract
We report on a solution processed novel electroluminescent heterostructure device consisting of an inorganic semiconductor, CdS, and a polymer emitter, poly(p-phenylene vinylene) (PPV). This configuration provides the advantage of excellent charge transporting properties of an inorganic semiconductor and the high luminescence quantum efficiency of an organic emitter. The electroluminescence spectrum obtained from this hetrostructure device is similar to the emission spectrum of pure PPV. Even with aluminum electrode, we have achieved stable electroluminescence at very low threshold voltage (3 V) and overall quantum efficiency of about 1% in these devices. The device emitted bright electroluminescence radiation (150 cd/m2) at a driving voltage of 10 V under the forward bias condition.Keywords
