We demonstrated that oligo(9,9-diarylfluorene) derivatives have high potential for optoelectronic applicationssuch as organic lasers and light-emitting organic field-effect transistors (LE-OFETs). The oligo(9,9-diarylfluorene) derivatives have high photoluminescence quantum efficiencies up to

peak =429 nm were demonstrated using the ter(9,9-diarylfluorene) as the active layer. Rather high luminance up to
