Abstract

We report a family of full-color highly fluorinated light-emitting polymers. The high fluorine content allows the formation of multi-layer devices, which are shown to exhibit emission from the individual layers. A 3 x 3 photoluminescent red-green-blue (RGB) pixel array is also fabricated using standard photolithographic patterning techniques, taking advantage of the robustness of these polymers. © 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
