Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of quantum dot light-emitting devices, and more particularly, to a quantum dot light-emitting device and a method for preparing the same. Background Art

[0002] Quantum dots have been widely used in many aspects such as light-emitting diodes, solar cells, bioimaging, detectors, etc. Among them, quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) have become a favorable competitor for the next-generation display technology due to their advantages such as high color purity, tunable emission color, and good stability. Currently, the carrier injection imbalance in quantum dot light-emitting diodes limits their luminous efficiency and lifespan. The common structure of a quantum dot light-emitting diode is an electron transport layer, a hole transport layer, and a quantum dot light-emitting layer. These hole transport layers and electron transport layers can be organic small molecules, organic polymers, or inorganic metal oxides. The setting of the above electron transport layer and hole transport layer has increased the luminous efficiency of the light-emitting diode device from less than 0.01% at the beginning to 10%. However, due to the problem of mismatched energy level structures, the hole injection efficiency is generally lower than the electron injection efficiency, resulting in an imbalance in the injected charges in the quantum dots and the quantum dots being non-electrically neutral. Coupled with the influence of the applied electric field, the intrinsic luminous efficiency of the quantum dots is greatly reduced. Another problem is that due to the work function difference between the quantum dots and the electron transport layer, there is a spontaneous charge transfer phenomenon, which destroys the electrical neutrality of the quantum dot layer and leads to a reduction in the luminous efficiency.

[0081] Comparative Example 1

[0082] The structure of the quantum dot light-emitting device is ITO / PEDOT:PSS / TFB / InP / ZnSe / ZnSe SQDs / ZnO / Ag; the difference from Example 1 is that it does not contain PVDF.

[0083] Comparative Example 2

[0084] The structure of the quantum dot light-emitting device is ITO / PEDOT:PSS / TFB / CdSe / CdZnSe QDs / ZnO / Ag; the difference from Example 2 is that it does not contain PVDF.

[0085] Experimental Example

[0086] Under the same conditions, the quantum dot light-emitting devices of Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-2 were heat-treated in an oven at 100 °C for 10 h, and then the film-forming quality, lifespan, and efficiency of the devices were tested using the same testing method. The lifespan and efficiency of the devices were tested using an Ocean Optics EQE testing system. EQE represents the ratio of photons obtained through internal electron-hole recombination to all incident photons, and T95 represents the time required for the device brightness to decay from the highest point to 95% of it. Among them, for the film-forming quality of Example 1, see Figure 1 ; for the film-forming quality of Example 2, see Figure 2 ; for the film-forming quality of Comparative Example 1, see Figure 3 ; for the film-forming quality of Comparative Example 2, see Figure 4 ; it can be seen that the film-forming quality of the quantum dot light-emitting devices in the examples of the present invention is better than that of the comparative examples. The lifespan and efficiency of the devices are shown in Table 1.

[0090] As can be seen from Table 1, by inserting a fluoropolymer layer between the hole injection layer and the hole transport layer in the present invention, the injection of holes can be promoted, the recombination rate of electron-hole pairs can be increased, and the device performance can be enhanced; the efficiency and lifespan of the devices in the examples of the present invention are much higher than those of the corresponding devices in the comparative examples.
