量子点发光二极管功能层厚度确定方法

为改善量子点发光二极管器件载流子注入平衡,提出一种量子点发光二极管各功能层厚度的确定方法.首先选定量子点发光层厚度,基于隧穿模型进行仿真分析确定电子传输层厚度;然后采用空间电荷限制电流模型进行仿真分析确定空穴传输层厚度.采用CdSe/ZnS量子点作为发光层、poly-TPD作为空穴传输层、Alq_3作为电子传输层,按照该方法仿真分析得到各功能层厚度进行旋涂-蒸镀法实物器件制备.对比实验结果表明:当poly-TPD、QDs及Alq_3厚度分别为45nm、25nm及35nm时,获得了较高的发光效率及色纯度,器件性能最好.该方法确定的各功能层厚度有助于减少载流子在发光界面积累,获得载流子的注入平衡,从而改善QLEDs发光性能.

Creation and Investigation of Organic Light-Emitting Structures Containing Arrays of Colloidal Quantum Dots

We have created organic electroluminescent structures—ITO/TPD/Alq3/Al and ITO/PEDOT:PSS/TPD/Alq3/Al—which are organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Experiments on the incorporation of CdSe/ZnS colloidal quantum dots into the active layer of the structure have been performed. The parameters of the created structures have been determined using optical-spectroscopy methods. The appropriateness of using the method of high-speed vacuum thermal deposition as a main method for the deposition of structural layers has been demonstrated, and the possibility of accelerated formation of layers of the material without disturbing its chemical structure has been shown. By measuring the photoluminescence spectra at different points in samples, we have determined the quality of the obtained structures and plotted maps of the radiation power distribution of the material and of its thickness. Recommendations for the creation of upper contacts and other regions of light-emitting structures have been formulated. We have created organic structures with ITO/PEDOT:PSS/TPD/TPD + CQD’s CdSe/Alq3/Al colloidal quantum dots, in which electroluminescence of CdSe/ZnS quantum dots has been obtained for a wide range of applied voltages. It has been shown that the introduction of colloidal quantum dots into the structure leads to a significant modification of its electroluminescence spectrum.

Influence of thickness of electrochemically deposited hole-transport film on electroluminescent properties

Polybithiophene (PBTh) film was used as a hole-transport layer in an electroluminescent (EL) device. The PBTh was electropolymerized on indium tin oxide (ITO)-coated glass acting as a working electrode. From the change of full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the EL spectrum with the thickness of the PBTh film, it could be deduced that the PBTh film efficiently blocks the injection of electrons into the ITO electrode. The thickness of the hole-transport layer used in the EL device has a significant influence on the EL intensity and efficiency. Experimental data showed that there is an optimal thickness of the electrodeposited PBTh-hole-transport layer for high-efficiency EL devices.

Enhanced brightness of organic light-emitting diodes based on Mg:Ag cathode using alkali metal chlorides as an electron injection layer

Different thicknesses of cesium chloride (CsCl) and various alkali metal chlorides were inserted into organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) as electron injection layers (EILs). The basic structure of OLED is indium tin oxide (ITO)/N,N′-diphenyl-N,N′-bis(1-napthyl-phenyl)-1.1′-biphenyl-4.4′-diamine (NPB)/tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq₃)/Mg:Ag/Ag. The electroluminescent (EL) performance curves show that both the brightness and efficiency of the OLEDs can be obviously enhanced by using a thin alkali metal chloride layer as an EIL. The electron injection barrier height between the Alq₃ layer and Mg:Ag cathode is reduced by inserting a thin alkali metal chloride as an EIL, which results in enhanced electron injection and electron current. Therefore, a better balance of hole and electron currents at the emissive interface is achieved and consequently the brightness and efficiency of OLEDs are improved.     

Experimental investigation of energy transfer between CdSe/ZnS quantum dots and different-sized gold nanoparticles

Hybrid nanostructures of quantum dots(QDs) and metallic nanostructure are attractive for future use in a variety of optoelectronic devices. For photodetection applications, it is important that the photoluminescence (PL) of QDs is quenched by the metallic nanostructures. Here, the quenching efficiency of CdSe/ZnS core-shell quantum dots (QDs) with different sized gold nanoparticles (NPs) films through energy transfer is investigated by measuring the PL intensity of the hybrid nanostructures. In our research, the gold NPs films are formed by the post-annealing of the deposited Au films on the quartz substrate. We find that the energy transfer from the QDs to the Au NPs strongly depends on the sizes of the Au NPs. For CdSe/ZnS QDs direct contact with the Au NPs films, the largest energy transfer efficiency are detected when the resonance absorption peak of the Au NPs is nearest to the emission peak of the CdSe/ZnS QDs. However, when there is a PMMA spacer between the QDs layer and the Au NPs films, firstly, we find that the energy transfer efficiency is weakened, and the largest energy transfer efficiency is obtained when the resonant absorption peak of the Au NPs is farthest to the emission peak wavelength of CdSe/ZnS QDs. These results will be useful for the potential design of the high efficiency QDs optoelectronic devices.
