Polyfluorene (PFO) is a light-emitting polymer due to its electroluminescence.

The building block of the polymere is the fluorene unit.

For polyfluorene the fluorene molecules are connected at 3 and 6 position
For polyfluorene the fluorene molecules are connected at 3 and 6 position

The first blue light emitting polymerdiode was produced with a substituted polyfluorene (poly(9,9-dihexylfluorene)). [1]
