Abstract
The white color polymer was prepared by the binary blending technique and the polymer light emitting diode (PLED) with
single emission layer was achieved by spin-coating method. By means of Förster energy transfer mechanism, the excitation
energy was partially transferred from the blue poly(9-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) to the red
poly[2-methoxy-5-{2-etylhexyloxy}1,4-phenylenevinylene-co-(4,4’-biphenylene)] (MEH-BP-PPV), which resulted from poorly
miscible effect and partially spectral overlap of polymers. A broad band white light emission with two emission peaks at 400
and 560 nm was obtained. The optimal composition weight ratio of PVK to MEH-BP-PPV for achieving the white line
emission was 100 to 5. The CIE coordinates of the emission light were at x = 0.29, y = 0.33 when the PVK:MEH-BP-PPV
blend was irradiated by an UV lamp. The turn-on voltage for the white light PVK:MEH-BP-PPV PLED was about 3.5 V,
although the luminance was low and needed to be improved.
