- increasing the proportion of non-conjugating repeat units in the polymer will reduce the average length of conjugating repeat units chains and therefore increase the excited state energy level of the polymer.
- Figures 2a and 2b wherein introduction of a cyclic non- conjugating group Cy into a polymer chain comprising conjugated aromatic or heteroaromatic groups Ar has the effect of breaking conjugation along the polymer chain and thereby increasing the HOMO-LUMO bandgap of the polymer by deepening the HOMO level (i.e.

- Suitable heavy metals M include:
- - lanthanide metals such as cerium, samarium, europium, terbium, dysprosium, thulium, erbium and neodymium;
- Suitable coordinating groups for the f-block metals include oxygen or nitrogen donor systems such as carboxylic acids, 1 ,3-diketonates, hydroxy carboxylic acids,
- lanthanide metal complexes require sensitizing group(s) which have the triplet excited energy level higher than the first excited state of the metal ion. Emission is from an f-f transition of the metal and so the emission colour is determined by the choice of the metal. The sharp emission is generall narrow, resulting in a pure colour emission useful for display applications.
- the d-block metals are particularly suitable for emission from triplet excited states. These metals form organometallic complexes with carbon or nitrogen donors such as porphyrin or bidentate ligands of formula (IV):
- Ar 4 and Ar may be the same or different and are independently selected from optionally substituted aryl or heteroaryl; X 1 and Y 1 may be the same or different and are independently selected from carbon or nitrogen; and Ar 4 and Ar 5 may be fused together.

- substituents include fluorine or trifluoromethyl which may be used to blue-shift the emission of the complex as disclosed in WO 02/45466, WO 02/44189, US 2002- 1 17662 and US 2002- 182441 ; alkyl or alkoxy groups as disclosed in JP 2002-324679; carbazole which may be used to assist hole transport to the complex when used as an emissive material as disclosed in WO 02/81448; bromine, chlorine or iodine which can serve to functional ise the ligand for attachment of further groups as disclosed in WO 02/68435 and EP 1245659; and dendrons which may be used to obtain or enhance solution processability of the metal complex as disclosed in WO 02/66552.
- a light-emitting dendrimer typically comprises a light-emitting core bound to one or more dendrons, wherein each dendron comprises a branching point and two or more dendritic branches.
- the dendron is at least partially conjugated, and at least one of the core and dendritic branches comprises an aryl or heteroaryl group.
- ligands suitable for use with d-block elements include diketonates, in particular acetylacetonate (acac); triarylphosphines and pyridine, each of which may be substituted.
- Main group metal complexes show ligand based, or charge transfer emission.
- the emission colour is determined by the choice of ligand as well as the metal.
- Suitable ligands for di or trivalent metals include: oxinoids, e. g. with oxygen-nitrogen or oxygen-oxygen donating atoms, generally a ring nitrogen atom with a substituent oxygen atom, or a substituent nitrogen atom or oxygen atom with a substituent oxygen atom such as 8-hydroxyquinolate and
- hydroxyquinoxalinol-10-hydroxybenzo h
- quinolinato II
- benzazoles III
- Schiff bases azoindoles
- chromone derivatives 3-hydroxyflavone
- carboxylic acids such as salicylate amino carboxylates and ester carboxylates.
- Optional substituents include halogen, alkyl, alkoxy, haloalkyl, cyano, amino, amido, sulfonyl, carbonyl, aryl or heteroaryl on the (hetero) aromatic rings which may modify the emission colour.
- the host polymer and the light-emitting dopant may be physically mixed.
- the light-emitting dopant may be chemically bound to the polymer.
- the light-emitting dopant may be chemically bound as a substituent attached to the polymer backbone, incorporated as a repeat unit in the polymer backbone or provided as an end-group of the polymer as disclosed in, for example, EP 1245659, WO 02/31896, WO 03/18653 and WO 03/22908. This binding may result in more efficient transfer of excitons from the host polymer to the light emitting dopant because it may provide intramolecular exciton transfer pathways unavailable to a corresponding mixed system.
- binding may be beneficial for processing reasons. For example, if the light emitting dopant has low solubility then binding it to a soluble polymer allows the light emitting dopant to be carried in solution by the charge transporting material, enabling device fabrication using solution processing techniques. Furthermore, binding the light emitting dopant to the polymer may prevent phase separation effects in solution-processed devices that may be detrimental to device performance.
- More than one light-emitting dopant may be used.
- red, green and blue light- emitting dopants may be used to obtain white light emission.
- the polymer of the invention may also emit light, in particular blue light, which may be combined with emission from one or more further dopants to achieve white light.
- a conductive hole injection layer which may be formed from a conductive organic or inorganic material, may be provided between the anode 2 and the light-emitting layer 3 to assist hole injection from the anode into the layer or layers of semiconducting polymer.

- poly(thienothiophene) examples include transition metal oxides such as VOx MoOx and RuOx as disclosed in Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics (1996), 29(1 1), 2750-2753.
- a hole transporting layer may be provided between the anode and the light-emitting layer.

- Transporting and blocking layers may be used in combination. Depending on its HOMO and LUMO levels, a single layer may both transport one of holes and electrons and block the other of holes and electrons.
- a hole transporting layer located between anode 2 and light-emitting layer 3 preferably has a HOMO level of less than or equal to 5.5 eV, more preferably around 4.8-5.5 eV. HOMO levels may be measured by cyclic voltammetry, for example.
- an electron transporting layer located between light-emitting layer 3 and cathode 4 preferably has a LUMO level of around 3-3.5 eV.
- a layer of a silicon monoxide or silicon dioxide or other thin dielectric layer having thickness in the range of ().2-2nm is provided between light-emitting layer 3 and layer 4.

- Cathode 4 is selected from materials that have a workfunction allowing injection of electrons into the light-emitting layer. Other factors influence the selection of the cathode such as the possibility of adverse interactions between the cathode and the light-emitting material.
- the cathode may consist of a single material such as a layer of aluminium. Alternatively, it may comprise a plurality of metals, for example a bilayer of a low workfunction material and a high workfunction material such as calcium and aluminium as disclosed in WO 98/10621 ; elemental barium as disclosed in WO 98/57381, Appl. Phys. Lett.
- the cathode preferably has a workfunction of less than 3.5 eV, more preferably less than 3.2 eV, most preferably less than 3 eV. Work functions of metals can be found in, for example,
- the cathode may be opaque or transparent. Transparent cathodes are particularly useful
- a transparent cathode comprises a layer of an electron injecting material that is sufficiently thin to be transparent. Typically, the lateral conductivity of this layer will be low as a result of its thinness. In this case, the layer of electron injecting material is used in combination with a thicker layer of transparent conducting material such as indium tin oxide.
- a transparent cathode device need not have a transparent anode (unless, of course, a fully transparent device is desired), and so the transparent anode used for bottom-emitting devices may be replaced or supplemented with a layer of reflective material such as a layer of aluminium.
- transparent cathode devices are disclosed in, for example, GB 2348316.
- the substrate preferably has good barrier properties for prevention of ingress of moisture and oxygen into the device.
- the substrate is commonly glass, however alternative substrates may be used, in particular where flexibility of the device is desirable.
- the substrate may comprise a plastic as in US 6268695 which discloses a substrate of alternating plastic and barrier layers or a laminate of thin glass and plastic as disclosed in EP 0949850.
- the device may be encapsulated with an encapsulant (not shown) to prevent ingress of moisture and oxygen.
- encapsulant include a sheet of glass, films having suitable barrier properties such as silicon dioxide, silicon monoxide, silicon nitride or alternating stacks of polymer and dielectric as disclosed in, for example, WO 01/81649 or an airtight container as disclosed in, for example, WO 01/19142.
- a transparent encapsulating layer such as silicon monoxide or silicon dioxide may be deposited to micron levels of thickness, although in one preferred embodiment the thickness of such a layer is in the range of 20-300 nm.
- atmospheric moisture and / or oxygen that may permeate through the substrate or encapsulant may be disposed between the substrate and the encapsulant.
- Suitable solvents for forming compositions of the polymer for solution processing include many common organic solvents, such as mono- or poly-alkylbenzenes such as toluene and xylene. Particularly preferred solution deposition techniques including printing and coating
- Spin-coating is particularly suitable for devices wherein patterning of the electroluminescent material is unnecessary - for example for lighting applications or simple monochrome segmented displays,
- Inkjet printing is particularly suitable for high information content displays, in particular full colour displays.
- a device may be inkjet printed by providing a patterned layer over the first electrode and defining wells for printing of one colour (in the case of a monochrome device) or multiple colours (in the case of a multicolour, in particular full colour device).
- the patterned layer is typically a layer of photoresist that is patterned to define wells as described in, for example, EP 0880303.
- the ink may be printed into channels defined within a patterned layer.
- the photoresist may be patterned to form channels which, unlike wells, extend over a plurality of pixels and which may be closed or open at the channel ends.
- solution deposition techniques include dip-coating, roll printing and screen printing.
- Polymers comprising a conjugating fluorene repeat unit of formula (IV), a hole transporting amine repeat unit of formula (V) and a non-conjugating repeat unit were prepared by Suzuki polymerisation as described in WO 00/53656.
- Example I 79% Conjugating repeat unit, 6% hole transporting unit, 15% Conjugation breaker unit
- the polymer may be used as a host material for a fluorescent or phosphorescent light-emitting dopant provided that the singlet excited state energy level (for a fluorescent dopant) or the triplet excited state energy level (for a phosphorescent dopant) is lower than that of the polymer.
- the gap between the host and dopant excited state energy levels is at least kT in order to avoid back transfer of excitons from the dopant to the host material.
- the non-conjugating repeat units serve to increase the HOMO-LUMO bandgap of the polymer as compared to a conjugated polymer, thus increasing the range of dopants that the polymer can be used as a host for, without necessitating the use of spacer groups such as alkyl chains that can impart oily or waxy properties to the polymer and make purification of the polymer problematic.
- the cyclic non-conjugating units of the present invention may impart rigidity to the polymer and increase the glass transition temperature of the polymer. The bulk of the cyclic non-conjugating units may also prevent aggregation of polymer chains.
- the polymers may be used as light-emitting polymers having a colour of emission that is blue-shifted as compared to the corresponding polymer without non-conjugating repeat units.
- the polymers may also be used as charge transporting materials, in particular hole
