We report a possible interfacial energy transfer phenomenon in double-layer light-emitting diodes (LEDs) consisting of a poly(p-phenylene vinylene) (PPV) hole-transport layer and an emitting polymer layer containing either of two blue emitting polymers (I and II). The polymers in film form have almost the same photoluminescence (PL) spectra though they have different band gaps as determined from their absorption and PL spectra. This is due to intermolecular∕intramolecular energy transfer in polymer II films since the latter structure contains two differing oligomeric chromophores regularly interspersed by long nonconjugated blocks. In double-layer LEDs, PPV functions not only as a hole-transport layer which improves hole injection but also as a chromophore participating in the tuning of the LED emission color through interfacial energy transfer. The significant spectral overlap between the absorption spectrum of PPV and the emission spectra of I or II supports this energy transfer. The presence of PPV can...
