A cylindrical polymer‐based light‐emitting diode is reported. An aluminum rod is used simultaneously as a substrate and as the electron‐injecting electrode, and a soluble derivative of poly‐ p ‐phenylenevinylene, and polyaniline are used as the electroluminescent layer and the hole‐injecting electrode respectively. The materials are dip‐coated directly from solution simplifying the production process. It is thought that the optimization of the materials used in this novel structure will lead to performance enhancement.
