  • Chapter
  • First Online:
WOLEDs and Organic Photovoltaics

Part of the book series: Green Energy and Technology ((GREEN))

Abstract

Interest in using white polymer light-emitting devices (WPLEDs) for flat-panel displays, back-lighting sources for liquid-crystal displays, and next-generation solid-state lighting sources is increasing in the past several years due to their rapid improvement in terms of efficiencies and color quality. In this chapter, the progress on the synthesis of white light-emitting polymers and the advancement of WPLEDs were summarized.
