Abstract

Fluorene containing materials are used as electroluminescent materials for a new generation of flat panel displays,1 which are capable of displaying coloured images at speeds compatible with their use as TV monitors. The poly(dialkylfluorene)s used in such displays are electroluminescent, and, by suitable chemical modification, they can be made to luminesce at red, green and blue wavelengths.2 Liquid crystalline luminescent materials are the ...
