Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A polymer comprising a first repeat unit of formula (I), wherein each Ar is independently selected from optionally substituted aryl or heteroaryl and the group of formula (I) is present in a molar ratio of less than or equal to 10%, and, optionally, a second, optionally substituted repeat unit having a single nitrogen atom in its backbone of formula —Ar—N(Ar)—Ar— in a molar ratio of no greater than 5%.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An optical device comprising an anode, a cathode and a terpolymer located between the anode and cathode, the terpolymer comprising an optionally substituted repeat unit of formula (II): wherein each R is independently selected from hydrogen, alkyl, and alkoxy and the group of formula(II) is present in a molar ratio of 2.5% to 5%, and there are no repeat units comprising nitrogen atoms in the repeat unit backbone other than the repeat unit of formula (II), the terpolymer further comprising a first repeat unit selected from the group consisting of optionally substituted 9,9-dialkyl-2,7-fluorenyl and 9,9-dialkoxy-2,7-fluorenyl and less than 50 mol % of a second repeat unit selected from the group consisting of optionally substituted repeat units of formula (III): wherein each R 1 is aryl. 2. An optical device according to claim 1 wherein the cathode comprises a layer comprising barium. 3. An optical device according to claim 2 wherein the cathode comprises a layer comprising elemental barium. 4. An optical device according to claim 1 that is an electroluminescent device. 5. An optical device according to claim 1 that is capable of electroluminescence in the wavelength range 400-500 nm. 6. An optical device according to claim 1 wherein the terpolymer is not a component of a blend. 7. An optical device according to claim 1 that is a full color electroluminescent device comprising red, green and blue electroluminescent materials. 8. An optical device according to claim 7 wherein the blue electroluminescent material is said terpolymer. 9. An optical device according to claim 1 that is capable of electroluminescence in the wavelength range 430-500 nm.
