description

Light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs) based on cyanine molecules were prepared. High photoluminescence quantum yields were obtained for host-guest films using two cyanine dyes, reaching 27%. Sandwiching these films in between two electrodes allows for very stable near-infrared emission with a maximum radiant flux of 1.7 W m(-2) at an external quantum efficiency of 0.44%.
