Polymer light-emitting diodes (PLEDs) containing Eu(DBM)3(BrDPPz) (DBM is dibenzoylmethane, and BrDPPz is 11-bromo-dipyrido[3,2-a:2′,3′-c]phenazine) doped in a blend of poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene) (PFO) and 2-tert-butylphenyl-5-biphenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole (PBD) as the host matrix are reported. Eu(DBM)3(BrDPPz) exhibited high thermal stability and intense UV-Vis absorption. Narrow-bandwidth red emission at 612 nm with a full width at half-maximum (FWHM) of 14.0 nm was observed from Eu(DBM) 3 (BrDPPz) in these double-layered PLEDs at dopant concentrations from 1 wt% to 8 wt%. For the PLED containing 1 wt% Eu(DBM) 3 (BrDPPz), a maximum luminance of 829 cd/m 2 at 153.5 mA/cm 2 , highest external quantum efficiency of 1.70% at 2.1 mA/cm 2 and maximum luminance of 0.74 cd/A at 4.31 mA/cm 2 were obtained. europium(III) complexes, electroluminescence, optophysical properties, polymer light-emitting diodes
