Curable high refractive index resins for optoelectronic applications

A method of forming an optoelectronic component, said method comprising the step of applying a composition to a substrate so as to form a layer of said composition on said substrate, said composition comprising a mixture of:

• a compound having a formula selected from the group consisting of
• where:
• each R is individually selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyls, alkoxys, cycloaliphatics, and aromatics;
• each B is individually selected from the group consisting of —CO—, —COO—, —CON—, —O—, —S—, —SO—, —SO2—, —CR2—, and —NR—;
• each Q is individually selected from the group consisting of —CR2;
• each D is individually selected from the group consisting of —VCRCR2, where V is selected from the group consisting of —O— and —S—;
• each Z is individually selected from the group consisting of
• x is from about 0-6;
• and
• n is from about 0-100;
• and
• a crosslinking catalyst,
• wherein said composition comprises less than about 5% by weight of non-reactive solvent, based upon the total weight of the composition taken as 100% by weight.
