Electrochemical polymerization films for highly efficient electroluminescent devices and RGB color pixel

The electrochemical polymerization (EP) method to fabricate highly luminescent films and devices is rarely reported. It is typically believed that the organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) made by EP method behave low performance because of the structural defects, doped electrolytes, and rough morphology in EP films. Here we present a new strategy to fabricate high-quality EP films including the special molecular design for EP precursors and the electrochemical control for EP processes. The resulting EP films exhibit high fluorescence, low doping levels, and smooth surface morphology. The efficiency of EP film devices arrive a level of >10 cd A^?1 (green-emission). Moreover, the full-color micropatterned EP films with sharp edge and high resolution have been achieved, demonstrating a new simple method for fabricating micropatterned luminescent polymers and devices compared with currently used techniques.
