| Abstract: | The multilayer electroluminescent(EL) devices composed of vacuum-sublimed organic films are discussed with the aims of achieving high luminance and proposing an optical micro-cavity. For the former purpose, requirements for confinements of carriers and excitons within the thin emissive layer are shown by taking accounts of ionization potentials, electron affinities and excitation energies in organic thin films. Concerning the interference effect of emitted light, we show the variation in the intensity of emission and a strongly directional light from the micro-cavity. Second-order nonlinear optical(NLO) films are designed by preparing noncentrosymmetric LB multilayers composed of an pyrazine derivative with large hyperpolarizability and arachidic acid. Third-order nonlinear optical(NLO) films are proposed by using polyarylenevinylene films. In order to fabricate excellent third-order nonlinear optical(NLO) films, highly oriented polyarylenevinylene films are prepared by using a LB technique. |
