10. While quantitative studies have thus far been limited to time scales on the order 10 min (cf. Figure 3), devices have been operated for up to 18 h at 6 V bias without decays in emission that are detectable to the eye.

15. For example, mixed-mode conductors (see refs 12 and 13) typically emit light with a brief lag time following application of the voltage bias (unlike pure EL materials which emit virtually instantaneously) but more rapidly than pure ECL molecules and without much of the pretreatment required to establish the redox site gradients.
