Abstract
A compound for use in an electro luminescent (EL) device. The compound includes a first substance in combination with a second substance. The first substance includes nanostructures in combination with an equal weight percentage of PPV derivative, whereas the second substance is a PPV derivative. The first substance makes up from greater than 0 wt % to about 3 wt % of the compound, whereas the second substance makes up the remainder. Also, an EL device made from the compound, and a method of making the EL device, are disclosed.
Claims35
A compound, for use in an EL device, comprising:
- from greater than 0 wt % to 3 wt % of a first substance comprising about 50 wt % carbon nanostructures and about 50 wt % of a PPV derivative;
- and the remainder comprising a second PPV derivative.
A compound for use in an EL device, comprising:
- a first substance comprising a carbon nanostructure covalently linked to a PPV molecule containing a carbazole unit;
- and
- a second substance comprising a PPV derivative different from said PPV molecule containing a carbazole unit.
