- Abstract
- The charge injection imbalance into the quantum dot (QD) emissive layer of QD-based light-emitting diodes (QD-LEDs) is an unresolved issue that is detrimental to the efficiency and operation stability of devices. Herein, an integrated approach to harmonize the charge injection rates for bright and stable QD-LEDs is proposed. Specifically, the electronic characteristics of the hole transport layer (HTL) is delicately designed in order to facilitate the hole injection from the HTL into QDs and confine the electron overflow toward the HTL. The well-defined exciton recombination zone by the engineered QDs and HTL results in high performance with a peak luminance exceeding 410 000 cd/m2, suppressed efficiency roll-off characteristics (ΔEQE < 5% between 200 and 200 000 cd/m2), and prolonged operational stability. The electric and optoelectronic analyses reveal the charge carrier injection mechanism at the interface between the HTL and QDs and provides the design principle of QD heterostructures and charge transport layers for high-performance QD-LEDs. © 2020 American Chemical Society.
