New terbium-containing copolymers were prepared by ring-opening metathesis copolymerization (ROMP) of norbornene substituted terbium complex Tb(L1) 2(L2)(TPPO)2 (L1 = 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-isobutyryl-5- pyrazolonato, L2 = 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-(5-bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-2-yl)-5- pyrazolonato, TPPO = triphenylphosphine oxide) and carbazole-containing norbornene derivatives. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra of the copolymers contained strong narrow bands of terbium ion at 492 (5D47F6), 550 (5D47F6), 586 (5D47F4), 624 (5D47F3) nm and emission in the region of 350-450 nm assigned to copolymer matrixes. The electroluminescence (EL) spectrum of the tree-layer device of configuration of ITO/Tb-copolymer(40 nm)/BATH(30 nm)/Alq 3(30 nm)/Yb revealed intense emission bands of Tb(III) ions and a broad band at ca. 520 nm of low intensity attributed to emission from triplet level of carbazole groups. The maximum luminance of 70 cd/m2 at 17.5 V, the maximum current efficiency of 0.56 cd/A at 11 V and the maximum power efficiency of 0.16 lm/w at 11 V were achieved. The CIE coordinates (0.28, 0.47) were corresponded to green color and independent on driving voltage.
