Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An electrically conductive film suited to use as a transparent anode, a method of forming the film, and an electronic device comprising the film are disclosed. The device includes a conductive polymer electrode defining first and second surfaces and having an electrical conductivity gradient between the first and second surfaces. A second electrode is spaced from the second surface by at least one organic material layer, such as a light emitting layer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of forming an electronic device, comprising: forming a first electrode, wherein the first electrode comprises a conductive polymer electrode defining first and second surfaces and having an electrical conductivity gradient between the first and second surfaces, wherein forming the first electrode comprises depositing a solution comprising a conductive polymer and a dopant to form a first layer, and thereafter irradiating the first layer to produce a conductivity gradient in the first layer; and forming at least one organic material layer intermediate the first electrode and a second electrode.
