Electrospray mechanism for quantum dot thin-film formation using an electrohydrodynamic jet and light-emitting device application.

ABSTRACT: A novel electrohydrodynamic (EHD) electrospray coating mechanism was proposed for the continuous fabrication of large-area quantum dot (QD) thin films for high-performance light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The size of QD droplets was systemically controlled using the stable EHD electrospray mode from a mixed solvent, which is a crucial factor for the formation of large and smooth QD thin films. The minimum amount of material consumption was achieved during the process by applying the unique coating system. A QD-LED device based on electrodeposited QDs showed a maximum luminance of 12,082 cd m-2, maximum current efficiency of nearly 4.0 cd A-1, and maximum EQE of 1.86%. This system demonstrates not only high reproducibility but could also pave the way for commercializing high-quality QD-LED devices.

Optimization of Quantum Dot Thin Films using Electrohydrodynamic Jet Spraying for Solution-Processed Quantum Dot Light-Emitting Diodes.

Project description:The electrohydrodynamic (EHD) jet spraying process is a good method for making quantum dot (QD) layers in light-emitting diodes (LEDs). However, controlling the morphology and large-scale fabrication of the QD layers are critical for realizing all-solution-processed QD-LEDs with high performance. Three spraying techniques were used with the EHD jet spraying technique: a big circular film method, a spiral-line method, and a straight-line method. These techniques were used to obtain QD films with good uniformity. The straight-line spray showed the most promise to obtain a uniform QD layer with large area, and QD-LEDs made with this method showed better performance with a low turn-on voltage of 3.0 V, a luminance of 7801 cd/m2, and a maximum current efficiency of 2.93 cd/A.

High-efficiency and high-resolution patterned quantum dot light emitting diodes by electrohydrodynamic printing.

Project description:The development of quantum dot light-emitting diode (QLED) fabrication technologies for high-definition and low-cost displays is an important research topic. However, commercially available piezoelectric inkjet printing has reached its limit in reducing pixel sizes, which restricts its potential use in high-resolution displays. Here, we exhibit an electrohydrodynamic (EHD) printing method for manufacturing QLEDs with a high resolution of 500 ppi that remarkably surpasses the resolution of conventional inkjet printing displays. By optimizing the EHD printing process, a high-resolution pixelated bottom-emitting passive matrix QLED with a maximal current efficiency of 14.4 cd A-1 in a pixel size of 5 μm × 39 μm was achieved, indicating the capability of the EHD method in superfine printing and high efficiency QLED. Moreover, a top-emitting device is designed using a capping layer; the maximal current efficiency of top-emission passive matrix QLED devices can reach up to 16.5 cd A-1. Finally, a two-color (red and green) bottom-emission QLED device with 500 ppi was fabricated. The successful fabrication of these high-efficiency QLEDs with 500 ppi demonstrated that the EHD printing strategy has numerous potential applications in high-resolution and high-performance QLEDs for a range of applications, such as mobile or wearable devices.

High efficiency and stability of ink-jet printed quantum dot light emitting diodes.

Project description:The low efficiency and fast degradation of devices from ink-jet printing process hinders the application of quantum dot light emitting diodes on next generation displays. Passivating the trap states caused by both anion and cation under-coordinated sites on the quantum dot surface with proper ligands for ink-jet printing processing reminds a problem. Here we show, by adapting the idea of dual ionic passivation of quantum dots, ink-jet printed quantum dot light emitting diodes with an external quantum efficiency over 16% and half lifetime of more than 1,721,000 hours were reported for the first time. The liquid phase exchange of ligands fulfills the requirements of ink-jet printing processing for possible mass production. And the performance from ink-jet printed quantum dot light emitting diodes truly opens the gate of quantum dot light emitting diode application for industry.

Improved Long-Term Reliability of a Silica-Encapsulated Perovskite Quantum-Dot Light-Emitting Device with an Optically Pumped Remote Film Package.

Project description:In this study, inorganic perovskite (CsPbBr3) quantum dots are wrapped in SiO2 to provide better performance against external erosion. Long-term storage (250 days) is demonstrated with very little changes in the illumination capability of these quantum dots. While in the continuous aging procedure, different package architectures can achieve very different lifetimes. As long as 6000 h of lifetime can be expected from these quantum dots, but the blue shift of emission wavelength still needs more investigation.

Atomically thin quantum light-emitting diodes.

Project description:Transition metal dichalcogenides are optically active, layered materials promising for fast optoelectronics and on-chip photonics. We demonstrate electrically driven single-photon emission from localized sites in tungsten diselenide and tungsten disulphide. To achieve this, we fabricate a light-emitting diode structure comprising single-layer graphene, thin hexagonal boron nitride and transition metal dichalcogenide mono- and bi-layers. Photon correlation measurements are used to confirm the single-photon nature of the spectrally sharp emission. These results present the transition metal dichalcogenide family as a platform for hybrid, broadband, atomically precise quantum photonics devices.

Improvement in hole transporting ability and device performance of quantum dot light emitting diodes.

Project description:In this research, we demonstrate a novel approach to improve the device performance of quantum dot light emitting diodes (QLEDs) by blending an additive BYK-P105 with poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) as the hole transport layer. In addition, for the first time, polyethylenimine ethoxylated (PEIE)-modified zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) as the electron transport layer were applied in regular-type QLEDs for achieving high device efficiency. A very high brightness of 139 909 cd m-2 and current efficiency of 27.2 cd A-1 were obtained for the optimized device with the configuration of ITO/PEDOT:PSS + BYK-P105/PVK/CdSe QDs/ZnO NPs/PEIE/LiF/Al that shows promising use in light-emitting applications.

Sequential Improvement from Cosolvents Ink Formulation to Vacuum Annealing for Ink-Jet Printed Quantum-Dot Light-Emitting Diodes.

Project description:Optimization of ink-jet printing conditions of quantum-dot (QD) ink by cosolvent process and improvement of quantum-dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) characteristics assisted by vacuum annealing were analyzed in this research. A cosolvent process of hexane and ortho-dichlorobenzene (oDCB) was optimized at the ratio of 1:2, and ink-jetting properties were analyzed using the Ohnesorge number based on the parameters of viscosity and surface tension. However, we found that these cosolvents systems cause an increase in the boiling point and a decrease in the vapor pressure, which influence the annealing characteristics of the QD emission layer (EML). Therefore, we investigated QLEDs' performance depending on the annealing condition for ink-jet printed QD EML prepared using cosolvents systems of hexane and oDCB. We enhanced the quality of QD EML and device performance of QLEDs by a vacuum annealing process, which was used to prevent exposure to moisture and oxygen and to promote effective evaporation of solvent in QD EML. As a result, the characteristics of QLEDs formed using ink-jet printed QD EML annealed under vacuum environment increased luminescence (L), current efficiency (CE), external quantum efficiency (EQE), and lifetime (LT50) by 30.51%, 33.7%, 21.70%, and 181.97%, respectively, compared to QLEDs annealed under air environment.

All-inorganic perovskite quantum dot light-emitting memories.

Project description:Field-induced ionic motions in all-inorganic CsPbBr3 perovskite quantum dots (QDs) strongly dictate not only their electro-optical characteristics but also the ultimate optoelectronic device performance. Here, we show that the functionality of a single Ag/CsPbBr3/ITO device can be actively switched on a sub-millisecond scale from a resistive random-access memory (RRAM) to a light-emitting electrochemical cell (LEC), or vice versa, by simply modulating its bias polarity. We then realize for the first time a fast, all-perovskite light-emitting memory (LEM) operating at 5 kHz by pairing such two identical devices in series, in which one functions as an RRAM to electrically read the encoded data while the other simultaneously as an LEC for a parallel, non-contact optical reading. We further show that the digital status of the LEM can be perceived in real time from its emission color. Our work opens up a completely new horizon for more advanced all-inorganic perovskite optoelectronic technologies.

Light extraction from quantum dot light emitting diodes by multiscale nanostructures.

Project description:Improving the light extraction efficiency by introducing optical-functional structures outside of quantum dot light emitting diodes (QLEDs) for further enhancing the external quantum efficiency (EQE) is essential for their application in display and lighting industries. Although the efficiency of QLEDs has been optimized by controlling the synthesis of the quantum dots, the low outcoupling efficiency is indeed unresolved because of total internal reflections, waveguides and metal surface absorptions within the device. Here, we utilize multiscale nanostructures attached to the outer surface of the glass substrate to extract the trapped light from the emitting layers of QLEDs. The result indicates that both the EQE and luminance are improved from 12.29% to 17.94% and 122 400 cd m-2 to 178 700 cd m-2, respectively. The maximum EQE and current efficiency improve to 21.3% and 88.3 cd A-1, respectively, which are the best performances among reported green QLEDs with light outcoupling nanostructures. The improved performance is ascribed to the elimination of total internal reflection by multiscale nanostructures attached to the outer surface of the QLEDs. Additionally, the simulation results of the finite-difference time domain (FDTD) also demonstrate that the light trapping effect is reduced by the multiscale nanostructures. The design of novel light outcoupling nanostructures for further improving the efficiency of QLEDs can promote their application in display and lighting industries.

Carbon Nitride Quantum Dot-Embedded Poly(vinyl alcohol) Transparent Thin Films for Greenish-Yellow Light-Emitting Diodes.

Project description:Recently, freestanding polymer thin films encapsulated with nanostructures have attracted the significant attention of the scientific community due to their promising application in portable optoelectronic devices. In this research contribution, we have fabricated a freestanding polymer thin film of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) encapsulated with carbon nitride quantum dots (CN-QDs) using the casting method, for the first time. The PVA polymer matrix provides mechanical support as well as dispersion of the CN-QDs preventing its solid-state quenching. From UV-visible spectra, it is revealed that optical transparency decreases with an increase in the concentration of CN-QDs within the PVA polymeric thin film. Such kind of decrease in optical transparency is one of the crucial factors for the optical concert of a nanomaterial. Interestingly, we have optimized the synthesis protocol to retain 40% transparency of the thin film by incorporating 10 wt % CN-QDs along with PVA without deteriorating its optical behavior. It is observed that when CN-QDs are embedded in the PVA matrix, emission becomes independent of excitation wavelength and is localized in the 510-530 nm region of the spectrum. Thus, the films exhibit excellent greenish-yellow emission when excited at 420 nm with the Commission Internationale de l'èclairage (CIE) coordinates (0.39, 0.46) and a correlated color temperature (CCT) of 4105 K. These excellent optoelectronic properties make them a promising candidate for practical phosphor applications. In a nutshell, this study demonstrates a promising way to exhibit the luminescence potential of freestanding polymer/CN-QD films in CN-QD-based solid-state lighting systems.
