A polymer for use in an optical device comprising one or more regions,
where each region comprises (i) a first structural unit having general
formula I: ##STR00001## where m=1 or 2 and which contains at least one
substituent selected from the group consisting of alkyl, alkoxy, aryl,
aryloxy, heteroaryl, and heteroaryloxy groups, each of which may be
further substituted; and (ii) a second structural unit Ar selected from
the group consisting of heteroaryl, triarylamine and 2,7-fluorenyl; such
that where m=1 each region comprises a unit having general formula II:
first structural unit--Ar (II) wherein, the substituent has a
molecular weight of less than 300.
