In this research, we investigated a novel rigid-rod polymer sPBI for mono-layer polymer light emitting diode (PLED) fabrication and luminescence emission. sPBI could be a luminescent polymer with a low threshold voltage of 4.5 V and green light electroluminescence emission (530 nm). Its SO3H pendant attached to the p-phenyl ring improved electronic delocalization along the backbone resulted in a red shift of the absorption spectrum. By attaching propanesulfonated pendants to the heterocyclic moiety of intractable fully conjugated sPBI, water-soluble rigid-rod polyelectrolyte sPBI-PS(Li+) was synthesized to promote its processibility in water or common organic solvent. This water-soluble rigid-rod polyelectrolyte sPBI-PS(Li+) was fabricated for polymer light-emitting electrochemical cells (PLECs) with LiCF3SO3 (LiTf) or LiN(CF3SO2)2 (LiTfSI) dopants for investigating the influence of propanesulfonated pendants as well as dopants on the opto-electronic emission and the room-temperature DC conductivity. The effect of lithium salts (LiTf or LiTfSI) on photoluminescence color of doped sPBI-PS(Li+) films was negligible. sPBI-PS(Li+) PLECs doped with 0.41 and 1.01 wt. % of LiTfSI showed higher green light electroluminescence emission (514 nm) with a lower threshold voltage of 3.0 V and -4.6 V, respectively. Emission brightness of the sPBI-PS(Li+) PLEC did not raise upon increasing the ionic conductivity of the luminescent layer.
