Electroluminescent device

摘要

A description is given of a method of providing an electroluminescent device (20) comprising an active layer (5) of conjugated 2,5-alkyl- or alkoxy-substituted poly(p-phenylene vinylene) with inactive regions (51) and emissive regions (52) by means of patterned irradiation with UV light. Both regions (51) and (52) of the active layer (5) show a clear difference in electroluminescence, electrical resistance and solubility. By means of the above-described effects, displays can be manufactured without making use of structured electrode layers (3) and (11).
