In this work we demonstrate organic LEDs in which the handedness of the emitted circularly polarised (CP) electroluminescence can be controlled electrically, solely by using specific interlayers with no change in the emissive material composition or thickness. This result provides a paradigm shift in the realization of organic CP-LEDs with controllable spin angular momentum information and further contributes to ongoing discussions relating the fundamental physics of chiral optoelectronics.

Our group received funding from the first round of UKRI's new cross research council responsive mode (CRCRM) pilot scheme. Three-dimensional patterning of cultured tissue using light-sensitive molecules, will provide proof of concept for downstream tissue engineering applications which would have transformational and disruptive impact.
