Abstract: A series of donor-acceptor-donor(DAD) type narrow-band-gap fluorescent organic dyes were used as dopants for polymer light emitting diodes. The solutions of the organic molecules show absorbance peaks between 447 and 472 nm. The optical band gap decreases in the order: O-S and S-S>N-S>Se-S>N-Se. The PL emission peak is around 563—637 nm depending on chemical structure. Energy transfer from polyfluorene to fluorescent organic dyes was observed for both photoluminescence and electroluminescence(EL) of the fluorescent dyes and polyfluorene composite film. The EL peak red shifted in the order are O-S, S-S, N-S, Se-S and N-Se, which agree with the optical band gap. The highest external quantum efficiency achieved with the device configuration ITO/PEDOT/PVK/PFO+N-Se/Ba/Al is 1.28% with luminous efficiency 1.31 cd/A peaked at 633 nm.
