A polymer light emitting diodes (PLEDs) was fabricated using the wet processable antimony tin oxide (ATO) as the transparent electrode by spin coating method. PLED were fabricated with ATO (or ITO)/PEDOT:PSS/polymer/BaF2/Ba/Al configurations. Electrical and optical properties of ATO transparent electrode were measured. Transmittance of ATO thin film was more than 90% in the visible region, sheet resistance was 30 Ω/□ and had a strong solvent resistance. The maximum brightness and maximum efficiency of PLED device using an ATO transparent electrode was 3637 cd/m2 and 1.03 cd/A, respectively.
