Abstract

对于采用旋涂法制备量子点层的传统量子点发光二极管(QLEDs)而言, 由于量子点有序性低, 量子点薄膜不可避免地出现空隙,导致器件在偏压下产生漏电流. 本研究中, 我们利用Langmuir-Blodgett(LB)技术制备了超均匀、高度有序的量子点单层, 并且采用水平提拉法(HL)将量子点单层作为发光层转移到红色QLEDs上, 器件表现出了高性能, 其外量子效率(EQE)为19.0%, 寿命(T95 @100 cd m−2)为13,324 h.由于致密有序的量子点单层减少了漏电流, EQE和寿命分别提高了15%和183%. 此外, LB技术是一种无有机溶剂气氛的方法, 避免了层间互溶,同时也可以精确控制量子点薄膜的厚度, 因此所制备的叠层白光QLEDs可以在4 V的低电压下获得白光. 最后, 我们成功地在9 cm × 5 cm的矩形基板上制备了超均匀大面积量子点单层, 表明LB-HL方法具有良好的尺寸可扩展性.
