Light Emitting Polymers for Displays

The document discusses light emitting polymers that can be used for future generation display systems. These polymers emit light when a voltage is applied, consisting of a semiconducting polymer film sandwiched between electrodes. The color of the emitted light depends on the polymer's band gap. These polymers are printed using inkjet printing and can be used to create full-color displays. Light emitting polymers offer advantages over LCDs and CRTs like low cost, small size, wide viewing angles, and low power. Potential future applications include flexible and foldable displays, wearable displays, and camouflage technology.

Abstract:

The seminar is about polymers that can emit light when a voltage is
applied to it. The structure comprises of a thin film of semiconducting polymer
sandwiched between two electrodes (cathode and anode).When electrons and
holes are injected from the electrodes, the recombination of these charge
carriers takes place, which leads to emission of light .The band gap, i.e. The
energy difference between valence band and conduction band determines the
wavelength (color) of the emitted light.

They are usually made by ink jet printing process. In this method red
green and blue polymer solutions are jetted into well defined areas on the
substrate. This is because, PLEDs are soluble in common organic solvents like
toluene and xylene .The film thickness uniformity is obtained by multi-passing
(slow) is by heads with drive per nozzle technology .The pixels are controlled by
using active or passive matrix.

The advantages include low cost, small size, no viewing angle restrictions,
low power requirement, biodegradability etc. They are poised to replace LCDs
used in laptops and CRTs used in desktop computers today.

Their future applications include flexible displays which can be folded,


wearable displays with interactive features, camouflage etc.
