    This document provides an introduction to light emitting polymers (LEPs). It discusses that LEPs emit light when voltage is applied, as they are thin films of semiconducting polymers sandwiched between electrodes. The document outlines their construction using indium-tin oxide anodes and aluminum/calcium cathodes. It also discusses advantages like low power consumption and applications in photovoltaics, displays, and more.

    INTRODUCTION
     In 1990, LEP was born at Cambridge
    University UK by researchers.

     Full color LEP driven displays are efficient


    brighter and easier to manufacture.
    What is LEP?

     It is a polymer which emits light when


    voltage is applied to it.
     Thin film of semiconducting
    polymer sandwiched
    between two electrodes.
    Cont…..

     Recombination of the electrons and holes


    leads to the emission of light.

     Band gap determines the color of light


    emitted.
    Construction
     Indium-tin oxide used for anode and
    aluminum and calcium for cathode.
     Single-layered
    device work
    only under
    forward
    biased DC.
    Cont…..
     symmetrically configured works under AC as
    well as DC(reversed and forward)

     Spin coating machine is used for


    manufacturing
    Ink jet printing
     Red, green and blue polymers are jetted into well
    defined areas.

     Flim thickness has to be uniform to display


    uniform emission.
    Active and passive matrix
     Color display are formed by positioning
    matrix of red, green and blue pixels.

     To control the pixels passive


    and active drivers are used.
    Cont…
     Active display have transducers and in
    passive matrix each row and each column has
    its own driver.

     Passive display are prone to flickering but


    they are used where cheap and simple
    displays are required.
    Basic principle and technology
     Single C-C bond consist of two electrons
    shared in overlapping wave functions.

     Spherical s-orbital and p-orbital


    form four equal unsymmetrical ,
    tetrahedral, oriented hybridized
    sp^3 orbital.
    Cont….
     A band formed by overlap of these
    hybridized orbitals from two carbon atom is
    referred to as sigma bond.

     Conjugated pi-bond refers to a carbon ring


    whose bond alternate between single and
    double bond.
    Light emission
     Electroluminescence is process in which
    electromagnetic radiation is emitted from
    material when electric current is passed
    through it.

     Conduction in polymer is not same as in


    metals.
    Advantages
     Require only 3.3 volts and have lifetime of more
    than 30,000 hours.
     Low power consumption.
     Self luminous.
     No viewing angle dependence.
     Display fast moving images with optimum clarity.
     Cost much less to manufacture and to run than
    CRTs because the active material is plastic.
     Can be scaled to any dimension.
    Cont…..
     Fast switching speeds that are typical of LEDs.
     No environmental draw backs.
     No power in take when switched off.
     All colors of the visible spectrum are possible
    by appropriate choose of polymers.
     Simple to use technology than conventional
    solid state LEDs and lasers.
     Very slim flat panel.
    Disadvantages
     vulnerable to shorts due to contamination of
    substrate surface by dust.

     Voltage drops.

     Mechanically fragile.

     Potential not yet realized.


    Application
     Photovoltaics
     Polymer semiconductor is used to develop
    efficient solar cells and light detector.

     polyLED
     Philipswill demonstrate its first
    polyLED based prototype based
    on organic light
    emitting diode technology.
    Cont….
     Baby phone
    Uses the light emitting diode to respond the
    baby’s activity.

     Mp3 display player


    Conclusions
     Organic material are being used to transform
    the display technology.
     Using light emitting diodes organic full color
    displays may replace LEDs in laptop and
    even desktop computers.
     Such display can be deposited on flexible
    coils eliminating fragile and heavy glass
    substrates used in LCDs.
     First products using organic display is
    already in market.
