Through our Honors and Awards Program, we Orecognize and celebrate those individuals who have contributed such major advancements to the display industry. These contributions span specific technological and scientific advances, outstanding educational achievements, and notable service to the industry. Deciding the most deserving recipients for the various awards is no easy task. Each year, the Honors and Awards Committee accepts the challenge of select- ing and recommending recipients to the Executive Board for their approval. The Committee worked hard to maintain the highest standards in selecting the individuals being honored this year. On behalf of the society, I extend my deepest gratitude to my colleagues on the committee for all the tremendous dedication they have shown throughout this selection process. Finally, sincere congratulations to all of this year’s award recipients. Your efforts and innovation have brought recognition to yourselves, your organizations, and to the Society. It is an honor for us to present these awards to you.

    A STRUCTURAL AND SPECTROSCOPIC INVESTIGATION OF POLYFLUORENE COPOLYMERS IN SOLUTION AND THE SOLID STATE Robert Peter Stanley Experimental Solid State Physics Imperial College London A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 2012 1 I dedicate this work to my parents Peter and Sue 2 Acknowledgements There are many people I would like to thank, and without each and every one of them this work would not be completed to the standard it is. The constant support from my parents Sue and Peter over the last seven years has meant I have been able to complete this work, which sometimes did not seem likely. My wonderful girlfriend Hannah has been a constant source of encouragement during my time writing up and I thank her hugely for that. Alasdair Campbell has been an exceptional supervisor without his knowledge and guidance I could not have completed this. Although it has taken longer than anyone had anticipated when I first set out on this PhD journey, his belief in my ability to complete it, and occasional suprise at things I had completed made it a pleasure. There have been many others in the Experimental Solid State Physics group at Imperial College who have helped me, both academically and personally. All those I worked and drank tea with in Huxley 724: Dan Farell, Jeremy Smith, Markus Fuhrer, Matt Lumb, Matt Ng, Clare Dyer- Smith, Peter Spencer, Justin Dane, Thomas Wellinger, Jarvist Frost and more. There were many people whose assistance consisted of more than just warm caffeinated beverages, namely Colin Belton, Joachim Steinke, Alex Guite, and Natasha Shirshova for their generous help with equipment and theory and of course Donal Bradley.

  • Fabrication and Characterization of Hybrid Metal-Oxide/Polymer Light-Emitting Diodes
    Fabrication and Characterization of Hybrid Metal-Oxide/Polymer Light-Emitting Diodes Nurlan Tokmoldin Nanostructured Materials and Devices Group Department of Chemistry - November 2010 - Dissertation submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The material contained in this dissertation is a product of my own work, except for where specific reference is made. The thesis has not been submitted in whole or as part of any other thesis for the award of a degree at this or any other university, and does not exceed 100,000 words. Nurlan Tokmoldin, October 2010 2 In fond memory of my grandparents Zharylgap, Korebai and Turaqan ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Time goes faster at Imperial than outside its walls. This is one thing I‟ve learnt here... apart from what I‟ve learnt in a dark room during long-hour measurements of OLEDs. This feeling grows bigger with an understanding that this time has in fact been one of the most enjoyable in my life, which essentially is thanks to a very large number of people I have met in Imperial, both those who are here now and those who have moved on for further adventures. Above all, I would like to thank one of the first people I met in the UK, whose energy and enthusiasm have captivated me and attracted into the field of OLEDs since we first met in October 2005, my supervisor Dr. Saif Haque for his constant support and advice during my work. I would also like to express my deep gratitude to my co-supervisor, Prof. Donal Bradley, for the access to an amazing variety of light-emitting polymers, his help and personal support throughout my studies.
