A light-emitting polymer and its preparation method, the polymer being excellent in electron injection and transport ability as well as hole injection and transport ability in an EL device, the EL device manufactured from the polymer being also emittable in the blue emission region, in which the EL device from an inorganic material is not mostly emittable. The light-emitting polymer of the invention is an alternated copolymer having repeated units (arylenevinylene units) excellent in hole injection and transport ability and repeated units (fluorinated tetraphenyl units) excellent in electron injection and transport ability with alternated order, as shown in formula (II). An EL device manufactured from the light-emitting polymer, a fluorinated tetraphenyl derivative of formula (I), which is used as a monomer to prepare the light-emitting polymer, and their preparation methods.

The present invention relates to an electroluminescent device, which is characterized in that it uses polymer made of ionomer containing metal ions as a charge transport layer. The ionomer contains an ionized metallic salt and the polymer forms a physical cross-linking around the metal. Thus, it has not only a good mechanical property but also a superior thermal stability. Also it shows an ion conductivity due to movement of ion under electric field, and the conductivity can be controlled by varying the concentration of the substituted ion. The ionomer layer can be easily obtained by spin coating method. In addition, the light-emittive quantum efficiency can be greatly increased by inserting the ionomer layer between the electrode and the light-emitting layer to form a stabilized interface. On the other hand, it can be applied to manufacturing of the flexible electroluminescent device because the ionomer is also a polymer.

The present invention relates to the encapsulation for extending the lifetime of a flexible organic or polymer light emitting device and, more particularly, to encapsulation by sealing with multiple polymer films to prevent the penetration of oxygen and moisture into an organic or polymer light emitting device. Due to the encapsulation of polymer light emitting device with the multiple polymer films, exposure to moisture and oxygen are prevented, which are causes of device degradation. When using a plastic substrate whose the thermal endurance is high, simultaneously, it has a thermal endurance effect to the Joule heat during device operation. Accordingly, there can be fabricated an organic or polymer light emitting display whose lifetime is extended through the encapsulation of an organic of polymer light emitting device with multiple polymer films.

There is disclosed a synthetic method of mixing a soluble poly(1,4-phenylenvinylene) (PPV) derivative in which two silyl groups are substituted, and an electroluminescent device using the same. In the poly[2,5-bis(dimethyloctylsilyl)-1,4-phenylenvinylene] (BDMOS-PPV) according to the present invention, the final polymer is easily dissolved in common organic solvents and shows a measured absolute PL quantum efficiency of 60% much higher than that of the conventional PPV having 25%, thus making it possible to be applied as material of an electroluminescent device. Also, it provides an outstanding advantage that it can be applied to a flexible light-emitting device.
