Abstract

A composition including a conducting polymer and an ionomer, and an opto-electronic and an electronic device including the composition are provided. The composition is prepared by doping a conducting polymer with an ionomer which has a low water uptake, has a low content of by-products decomposed by a reaction with electrons, and can crosslink with the conducting polymer. Thus, the opto-electronic device including the composition has improved device performance such as device efficiency and lifetime.
