Abstract. Conjugated polymers are a novel class of materials has been extensively used in optoelectronic devices. Well-known PPV derivative Poly [2-methoxy-5-(2-ethylhexyl-1,4-phenylenevinylene] (MEH-PPV) have a wide applications such as organic light emitting diodes OLED, organic emitting transistor OLET ,photovoltaic and organic solar cells. This document focuses on the electronic and optical properties of MEH-PPV and their applications in different optoelectronic devices based on hybrid polymer–semiconductor materials. In this work we studied theoretically the electronic and optical properties of the polymer MEH-PPV using the FP-LAPW calculation method implemented in the wien2k code. The results were determined in the context of the theory of density functional (DFT) made in the approximation of GGA+mBJ. We find our calculated results in good agreement with the available experimental data.
