14. For example, applying 5V between MEH-PPV coated electrodes in a liquid electrolyte during cyclic voltammetry is more than enough to "fully dope" the polymer. Note, however, that the herein investigated LEC devices are ion-transport limited during the initial operation when the doping fronts traverse the interelectrode gap, and that only a limited amount of the applied potential (approximately the band-gap potential) accordingly is available for the doping process.

21. In the devices shown here, there is a rather large excess of ions available, so that the ionic conductivity of the blend will not change dramatically as they are consumed in the doping process.
