  • Light emitting polymer devices using self-assembled monolayer structures
    Patent number: 7964878
    Abstract: A light emitting device comprising a transparent substrate; a layer of conducting material in contact with the transparent substrate; a self-assembled monolayer bonded to the layer of conducting material; one or more light emitting polymer layers in electron contact to the self-assembled monolayer; and a reflective metal layer in electron contact with the light emitting polymer layer is provided. The light emitting device provided gives enhanced performance as compared to currently available devices. Also provided is a self-assembled monolayer having the formula: R2—R3—Y where Y is a group capable of electron contact with a light emitting polymer, R3 contains a conjugated group, and R2 is a group capable of bonding to a conducting material.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 10, 2008
    Date of Patent: June 21, 2011
    Assignee: HCF Partners, LP
    Inventors: Neil Gough, Jun Mo Gil, Wesley Thomas Walker, Nicolas Frederick Colaneri, William A. Huffman
