ABSTRACT:
Light-emitting components for electronics and photonics are today mainly developed using inorganic semiconductors, such as gallium arsenide. Punctual display elements may be produced using such substances. Devices of a large area are not possible.
In addition to semiconductor light emitting diodes, electroluminescent devices based on vapour-deposited low molecular weight organic compounds are also known (U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,539,507, 4,769,262, 5,077,142, EP-A 406 762). With these materials too, as a consequence of the production process, it is only possible to produce small LEDs. Furthermore, these electroluminescent devices have elevated production costs and only a very short service life.
Polymers such as poly(p-phenylenes) and poly(p-phenylene-vinylenes) are described as electroluminescent:

In contrast to the fully conjugated polymers, non fully conjugated polycondensation products with luminescent structural units are described in electroluminescent devices (
Macromol. Chem. Phys.
195, 2023-2037 (1994)).
The present invention provides polymers for the production of electroluminescent devices, which polymers are based on a well known basic structure, such as polystyrene and polyacrylate, with covalently bonded luminophoric units in the side chains. Due to their simple production process and ready processability, such polymers are of great technical interest with regard to use as electroluminescent materials. Electroluminescent devices containing these (co)polymers are distinguished by elevated light intensities and a broad range of colour hues. The advantages of the (co)polymers according to the invention are, for example, that
1. light intensity may purposefully be modified by varying the concentration of luminophore,
2. colour hues may be adjusted by combining different monomers containing luminophores,
3. the morphology and electrical properties of the polymer layers may be optimised by the incorporation of suitable side chain units.
The present invention relates to (co)polymers which contain at least one repeat chain unit of the general formula (1) or (2) and optionally contain repeat units of the general formula (3)
