In this example, a specific type of first polymeric material is given.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the conductive layers include an inner conductive layer, an outer transparent conductive layer 3;
The (inner) conductive layer 1, the light-emitting layer 2 and the outer transparent conductive layer 3 are sequentially arranged from inside to outside.

Further, since the inorganic nonmetallic material, the metallic material, and the semiconductor material are not transparent materials, they are dispersed in a polymer material, thereby obtaining the outer transparent conductive layer 3.
The embodiment shows a specific electronic transparent conductive material.
In a specific embodiment, the ionic transparent conductive material is a transparent solid polymer electrolyte, and is a lithium salt dissolved in the third polymer material, wherein the lithium salt is one or a combination of more than two of lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF 6), lithium bis (trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide (LiTFSI), lithium perchlorate (LiClO 4), lithium tetrafluoroarsenate (LiAsF 4) and lithium tetrafluoroborate (LiBF 4).
Specific ionic transparent conductive materials are given in this example.
In a specific embodiment, the second polymer material and the third polymer material are transparent thermoplastic polymer materials, and are selected from one or more than two of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), fluororesin modified polymethyl methacrylate (F-PMMA), cyclic Olefin Copolymer (COC), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polystyrene (PS), polycarbonate (PC), styrene-dimethyl methyl acrylate copolymer (SMMA), cyclic Olefin Polymer (COP), and styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene block copolymer (SEBS). Specific second and third polymeric materials are given in this example.
In a specific embodiment, as shown in fig. 2 to 10, two or more conductive layers are arranged in the light emitting layer along the axial direction of the electroluminescent fiber, preferably, the conductive layers are conductive filaments, and further preferably, the two or more conductive layers are disposed parallel to each other.
This example shows another structure of electroluminescent fiber.
Specifically, the luminescent layer comprises a pair of parallel conductive layers 1 (shown in fig. 2), three conductive layers 1 (shown in fig. 3 and 5) which are distributed in a triangular shape on the fiber section, three conductive layers 1 (shown in fig. 4) which are arranged on the same plane in parallel, four conductive layers 1 (shown in fig. 6-9) which are distributed in a quadrilateral shape on the fiber section, or four conductive layers in the luminescent layer, wherein one conductive layer is in the center of the luminescent layer, the other three conductive layers are uniformly distributed around the central conductive layer (shown in fig. 10, namely, on the fiber section), the three conductive layers are distributed in an equilateral triangle shape, and the other conductive layer is in the center of the equilateral triangle).
In addition, in the technical schemes of fig. 2 to 10, the two ends of the electroluminescent fiber can be rotated in opposite directions along the circumferential direction of the electroluminescent fiber, so that more than two conductive layers are spiral, and the technical effects can still be achieved. In short, two or more conductive layers do not intersect each other in the light-emitting layer, and an electric field may be formed between the two or more conductive layers.
In this embodiment, an electric field is formed between two or more conductive layers 1, so that the light-emitting layer 2 surrounding the conductive layers 1 emits light, and the emitted light is directly emitted from the light-emitting layer 2.
In a specific embodiment, the light-emitting layer includes more than two light-emitting layer units disposed along the axial direction of the electroluminescent fiber (as in fig. 4 to 10, light-emitting layer units with different color depths represent different light-emitting layer units, and more than two light-emitting layer units together form the light-emitting layer 2);
At least one electroluminescent material between the luminescent layer unit and the other luminescent layer units has different luminescence bands;
the conductive layer is in contact with at least one light emitting layer unit.
As shown in fig. 4,5, 10, at least one conductive layer 1 is in contact with each light emitting unit at the same time, while the other conductive layers are within each light emitting unit.
As shown in fig. 4 and 5, the light-emitting device specifically includes 2 light-emitting units, 3 conductive layers, 1 conductive layer being located on an interface between two light-emitting units, and the other 2 conductive layers being located in the two light-emitting units, respectively. When electric fields are formed between the middle conductive wires and any other conductive wires, different colors of light can be emitted respectively, and the electric fields can be formed among the three conductive wires, so that different lights can be emitted simultaneously, and the electric fields can be formed among the different conductive wires alternately, so that different lights can be emitted alternately.
Similarly, the electroluminescent fiber as shown in fig. 10 specifically includes 3 light emitting units and 4 conductive layers, wherein 1 conductive layer is located at the connection of 3 light emitting units, and the other 3 conductive layers are respectively located in 3 light emitting units. The electric field can be formed between the middle conductive layer and other conductive layers or between other conductive layers, so that mixed light emitting of more than two colors can be realized, and the above combinations can be alternatively used to alternately emit different lights.
As shown in fig. 6 and 7, the conductive layer may be located at the interface between the light emitting unit and the outer transparent protective layer 4, so long as an electric field may be formed between the conductive layers to make the electroluminescent composite emit light.
In addition, in the electroluminescent fiber, the conductive wires are positioned on the interface of the two light-emitting units. As shown in fig. 8 and 9, the light emitting units located at the upper and lower sides are the same type of light emitting unit. When electric fields are formed between different conductive wires, different colors of light can be emitted respectively, or electric fields can be formed between four conductive wires so as to emit different lights at the same time, or the combination can be used alternately so as to emit different lights alternately.
Therefore, this embodiment is a further improvement of the previous embodiment, and the conductive layers on both sides of the different types of light emitting units can be turned on to form different colors of light respectively, or of course, the electric fields can be formed between different conductive wires in any combination or between all conductive wires, so that different combinations form light with no color or different color combinations, or the combination can be changed continuously, so that light with different colors can be flashed. Therefore, the electroluminescent fiber of the invention can show different colors, different color combinations and different colors or color combinations to emit light alternately, so that the electroluminescent fiber of the invention can be applied to more scenes and the application range of the electroluminescent fiber of the invention is expanded.
In a specific embodiment, as shown in fig. 1-10, the conductive wire is a metal wire, and the surface of the metal wire is distributed with rugged defects. In this embodiment, the conductive layer 1 and the light emitting layer 2 can be more closely contacted by the uneven defects distributed on the surface of the metal wire, so that the adhesion between the conductive layer and the light emitting layer is increased.
In a specific embodiment, as shown in fig. 1-10, the conductive wire is a metal wire, and the surface of the conductive wire is coated with a dielectric insulating layer with a high dielectric constant (generally referred to as a relative dielectric constant, and the relative dielectric constant is free of units), preferably, the dielectric insulating layer with the high dielectric constant is a nano-coating containing one or more of barium titanate (BaTiO 3), lead titanate (PbTiO 3), strontium titanate (SrTiO 3) and titanium dioxide (TiO 2).

Analysis of experimental results:
The prepared electroluminescent fiber examples 1-13 are subjected to optical performance test and mechanical performance test, specifically, the optical performance is tested by connecting an inner conductive layer and an outer conductive layer of the electroluminescent fiber to a positive electrode and a negative electrode of a high-voltage power supply, introducing 400v and 2khz high-voltage alternating current power supply, recording the luminescence brightness of the luminescent fiber in real time by adopting a brightness meter during the test, and the mechanical performance is tested by adopting an LC-202B universal material tester, selecting the length of the prepared electroluminescent fiber to be 10cm, fixing the two ends of the fiber on an upper chuck and a lower chuck of an instrument, fixing the lower chuck unchanged, adjusting the upward moving speed of the upper chuck to be 10mm/min, and recording the load condition of the fiber during the fiber breakage during the stretching process. The specific experimental results are shown in table 1.
TABLE 1 analysis of electroluminescent fiber properties of different examples
As can be seen from comparative examples 1 and 2, as the concentration of the electroluminescent material in the light-emitting layer increases, the light-emitting brightness of the light-emitting fiber is significantly improved, but the breaking strength thereof is reduced.
Comparative examples 1,2,3,4 show that the luminescent layer remains unchanged or gradually decreases or increases from inside to outside along the radial direction of the electroluminescent fiber. When the concentration distribution in the luminous layer is kept unchanged from inside to outside along the radial direction of the fiber, the excellent luminous performance of the electroluminescent fiber can be realized. When the concentration distribution in the luminous layer gradually increases along the radial direction of the fiber, the luminous performance of the electroluminescent fiber can be realized, and the mechanical performance of the electroluminescent fiber is simultaneously considered, compared with the concentration which is kept unchanged from inside to outside along the radial direction of the fiber (compared with the concentration of the outermost layer), the luminous performance is slightly weakened, but the mechanical performance is obviously improved. When the concentration distribution in the luminous layer gradually decreases along the radial direction of the fiber, the luminous performance of the electroluminescent fiber can be realized, and meanwhile, the mechanical performance is simultaneously considered, and compared with the concentration which is kept unchanged from inside to outside along the radial direction of the fiber (compared with the concentration of the outermost layer), the luminous performance is obviously improved, but the mechanical performance is weakened.
Comparative examples 2 and 5 show that the light-emitting effect and the mechanical properties are not greatly affected by the use of an electron-or ion-conductive layer.
Comparative examples 5,6 it was found that the electroluminescent fiber with the conductive layer of barium titanate coating added had significantly increased luminescent brightness and had little effect on mechanical properties.
Comparative examples 1,7 can find that the luminance of the dual electrode luminescence is significantly higher than that of the electroluminescent fiber of the on-axis structure, but that the luminance of the dual electrode luminescence is not uniform along the fiber circumference in the on-axis structure at the time of the test.
Comparative examples 7 and 8 show that the addition of functional materials to the cladding layer significantly improves the problem of circumferential luminous uniformity of the electroluminescent fiber, and also causes limitations such as reduced brightness and reduced mechanical properties.
Comparative examples 7,9,10 can be found that the conductive layer is mainly replaced by a different conductive material to affect the light emitting property and mechanical property thereof. It can be found that the luminous effect and the mechanical property are not greatly affected.
Examples 11 to 14 mainly introduce multicolor effects, and thus, no tests for luminescence properties and mechanical properties were carried out.
Examples 11-14 were subjected to luminescence performance testing, i.e., spectral broadening testing:
specifically, the center of three conductive layers (embodiment 11) of the electroluminescent fiber is a common end (one interface is omitted), and the three interfaces are connected to the positive and negative poles of two adjustable high-voltage power supplies to respectively regulate and control the output voltage and frequency of the high-voltage amplification power supplies. And (5) the electrified electroluminescent fiber is connected to a visible-ultraviolet optical fiber spectrometer to test the spectrum condition.
For example 12, two adjustable high voltage power sources were used.
For examples 13,14, three adjustable high voltage power supplies were used, with example 13 having a common center electrode (two interfaces omitted). Six interfaces are connected to the positive and negative poles of three adjustable high-voltage power supplies, respectively regulate and control the output voltage and frequency of the high-voltage amplifying power supplies, and the electrified electroluminescent fiber is connected to a visible-ultraviolet optical fiber spectrometer for testing the spectrum condition.
The results of example 12 are exemplified herein (e.g., fig. 13), and the results of other cases 11,13, and 14 can be used to achieve spectrum broadening, and the results are similar and will not be described in detail.
As can be seen from fig. 13, with the voltage change in the conductive layer in tuning example 12, it was found that the emission spectrum of the electroluminescent fiber was broadened, and a multicolor change was achieved.
In addition, through detection, the electroluminescent fibers prepared in the embodiments 1-14 can still keep stable display brightness after working at the extreme environment of-30 to +90 ℃ and the PH within the range of 0-14 and the like for 24 times, and can still keep stable luminescent brightness under the wear-resistant cycle of Martindale 5000 times. The electroluminescent fibers of examples 1 to 14 are not easily damaged (the bending radius is smaller than 1 mm) in the bending and folding state, and have the characteristics of excellent flame retardance (the burning rate is lower than 39mm/min and is far smaller than 100mm/min specified by automotive trim products), electromagnetic interference resistance, ultraviolet aging resistance, excellent wearability and the like.
