Abstract
We survey the current state of models for electronic processes in conducting polymer devices, especially light-emitting diodes. We pay special attention to several processes that have been somewhat neglected in the previous literature: charge injection from electrodes into a polymer sample, mobility of charge-or energy-carrying defects within a single molecule and (more briefly) transfer of carriers between molecules and the interaction between the charge transport and the mesostructure of the polymer. Within all these areas substantial. progress has been made in recent years in elucidating the important physics, but further progress is needed to make quantitative contact with experiment.
