Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
This project is concerned with the construction of stable light emitting diodes. Porphyrins were selected as excellent candidates for use in LEDs due to their favourable photophysical characteristics and high redox and photochemical stabilities. They will be used as both emissive and charge transport materials. Both aqueous and organic soluble derivatives will be synthesised to allow multilayer processing. Much of the initial work will be pioneered at Brunel University, where there is extensive experience in the construction of porphyrin systems. Polymer synthesis, characterisation and device construction will be done at Cambridge University. Commercial evaluation of materials will be carried out in collaboration with Cambridge Displays Technology Ltd.
