Polymers for Light-emitting Devices and Displays [Hardcover]

Polymers for Light-Emitting Devices and Displays provides an in-depth overview of fabrication methods and unique properties of polymeric semiconductors, and their potential applications for LEDs including organic electronics, displays, and optoelectronics.? Some of the chapter subjects include:

?The newest polymeric materials and processes beyond the classical structure of PLED
?Conjugated polymers and their application in the light-emitting diodes (OLEDs & PLEDs) as optoelectronic devices.
?The novel work carried out on electrospun nanofibers used for LEDs.
?The roles of diversified architectures, layers, components, and their structural modifications in determining efficiencies and parameters of PLEDs as high-performance devices.
?Polymer liquid crystal devices (PLCs), their synthesis, and applications in various liquid crystal devices (LCs) and displays.
?Reviews the state-of-art of materials and technologies to manufacture hybrid white light-emitting diodes based on inorganic light sources and organic wavelength converters.
