TY - JOUR ID - TI - Key Principle of Electroluminescent Polymers (Review Article) AU - D.T. Chou PY - 2009 VL - 5 IS - 1 SP - 3 EP - 5 JO - Iraqi Journal of Applied Physics المجلة العراقية للفيزياء التطبيقية SN - 18132065 23091673 AB - Recent progress made in the field of electroluminescent (EL) polymers is reviewed in this paper. Polymer electroluminescence is an area of growing interest due to its appeal in a scientific sense and for its potential in applications for low-cost, easily constructible light emitting diodes (LEDs) and in large flat displays. A brief overview of device construction is presented followed by a review of new developments in methods for fabrication and synthesis of EL polymer devices. Characteristics of EL polymer devices are considered with the mechanisms used to generate them.
