Polymer Science, Series C Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Blends consisting of two components, namely a liquid crystalline perylene ester and a bilaterally extended perylene ester, were studied. The liquid crystalline properties of these blends were investigated in detail by means of polarized optical microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. The resulting phase diagram was used to explore the potential of these blends as emitter layers in OLEDs, which were prepared via thermal evaporation in a vacuum and spin coating of solutions.
