Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to compositions capable of emitting circularly polarized electroluminescence comprising an electroluminescent polymer and a chiral dopant, processes for the synthesis of such compositions and light emitting devices incorporating such compositions.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A composition comprising an electroluminescent polymer and a scalemic chiral dopant. 2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the chiral dopant is a helical compound. 3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the chiral dopant is a helicene, a helicenoidal compound, a helical peptide or a DNA molecule. 4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the chiral dopant is an axially chiral biaryl compound. 5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the chiral dopant is 1-aza[6]helicene or 7-helicene. 6. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the chiral dopant has a M W of up to 4000. 7. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the electroluminescent polymer is a polymer, the electroluminescence of which in the absence of chiral dopant is not circularly polarized. 8. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the electroluminescent polymer is an achiral electroluminescent polymer. 9. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the electroluminescent polymer is a polyfluorene or poly(p-phenylene vinylene) derivative. 10. The composition of claim 9 , wherein the electroluminescent polymer is poly[9,9-dioctylfluorene-co-benzothiadiazole]. 11. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the chiral dopant is present within the composition at a doping ratio of up to 55% (by weight). 12. The composition of claim 11 , wherein the chiral dopant is present at a doping ratio of 0.1 to 55%.
