Notes:
Optical properties of conducting polymers with Si atoms in main chains, such as optical absorption, photoluminescence (PL), and electroluminescence (EL), have been studied. The electronic energy structures have been determined by optical and electrochemical measurements. The strong PL with high quantum efficiency has been clarified, and spectral narrowing has been observed by pulse excitation of a nitrogen laser. Intense blue or red EL has also been demonstrated and the emission efficiency has been improved by anode surface modification and annealing. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.
