Poly(fluorenylenevinylene-terphenylenevinylene) containing phenyl pendant group was synthesized by Suzuki coupling reaction and characterized by ${1}^H$-NMR, ${13}^C$-NMR, and IR-spectrum. The weight average molecular weight ($M_{w}$) of the obtained polymer was 31,000 with a polydispersity index of 1.9. The polymer showed good solubility in common organic solvents, and the solution and film emitted blue emission ($\lambda_{max}$=460 nm) on irradiation with UV light. The ITO/PEDOT/polymer/Al device fabricated using the polymer as an emitting layer emitted blue light with a maximum peak around 460 nm. The maximum efficiency of the device was 0.011$\%$.
