Summary

White electroluminescence is required for lighting applications. This is obtainable by either blending two materials with complementary colours (usually blue and red or orange) or by obtaining simultaneous emission from independent chromophores with complementary colours. The designs of polymers that have been used to achieve this are described and compared and examples of the best performing materials given.
