ABSTRACT
We have measured the ratio, r = sigma(S)/sigma(T) of the formation cross section, sigma of singlet and triplet excitons from polarons in pi-conjugated oligomer and polymer films, using a spectroscopic technique we developed recently. We discovered a universal relation between r and the conjugation length (CL) r(-1) depends linearly on CL-1, irrespective of the chain structure. Since r is directly related to the maximum possible electroluminescence quantum efficiency in organic light emitting diodes (OLED), our results indicate that polymers have an advantage over small molecules in OLED applications.
