Abstract (EN): Light-emitting diodes (LEDs), based on blue-emitting polyfluorenes are usually prone to the appearance of a contaminant green emission (centered around 520 nm), leading to an apparent whitish light emission. We find that, for LEDs based on poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene), PFO, the blending with the hole transporting polyvinylcarbazole, PVK, can suppress such green emission. LEDs based on a PFO/PVK blend with a 1:2 weight ratio and with aluminum cathodes show a quite stable blue emission. This result reveals the important role played by the interchain interactions on the observed contaminant green emission. In addition, we observe that in Al-based devices blending causes a decrease in EL efficiency while in Mg-based devices we obtained higher efficiencies with the blend PFO:3PVK when compared with neat PFO-based devices.
