An electroluminescent quantum-dot light-emitting diode (QLED) device and a micro QLED device array with a top-emitting structure were demonstrated in this study. The QLED device was fabricated in the normal structure of [ITO/Ag/ITO anode]/PEDOT:PSS/PVK/QDs/[ZnO nanoparticles]/Ag/MoO, in which the semi-transparent MoO-capped Ag cathode and the reflective ITO/metal/ITO (IMI) anode were designed to form an optical microcavity. Compared with conventional bottom-emitting QLED, the microcavity-based top-emitting QLED possessed enhanced optical properties, e.g., ~500% luminance, ~300% current efficiency, and a narrower bandwidth. A 1.49 inch micro QLED panel with 86,400 top-emitting QLED devices in two different sizes (17 × 78 μm and 74 × 40.5 μm) on a low-temperature polysilicon (LTPS) backplane was also fabricated, demonstrating the top-emitting QLED with microcavity as a promising structure in future micro display applications.
本研究展示了一种具有顶部发射结构的电致发光量子点发光二极管(QLED)器件和一个微型QLED器件阵列。QLED器件采用[ITO/Ag/ITO阳极]/PEDOT:PSS/PVK/QDs/[氧化锌纳米颗粒]/Ag/MoO的常规结构制造,其中半透明的MoO覆盖的Ag阴极和反射性的ITO/金属/ITO(IMI)阳极被设计用于形成一个光学微腔。与传统的底部发射QLED相比,基于微腔的顶部发射QLED具有增强的光学性能,例如,亮度提高约500%,电流效率提高约300%,带宽更窄。还在低温多晶硅(LTPS)背板上制造了一个1.49英寸的微型QLED面板,其上有两种不同尺寸(17×78μm和74×40.5μm)的86,400个顶部发射QLED器件,证明了具有微腔的顶部发射QLED在未来微型显示应用中是一种很有前景的结构。
