Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of display technology, and in particular to a QLED device and a method for preparing the same. Background Art
[0002] Quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs), as a new type of high-efficiency electroluminescent device, have attracted widespread attention in recent years due to their advantages such as flexibility, light weight, good luminescence performance, high color purity, good color temperature, long service life and simple preparation process.
[0003] Most of the current QLED devices are direct current electroluminescent devices. Their working principle is to load direct current on both ends of the first electrode and the second electrode. Under the positive bias, the electrons and holes generated by the first electrode and the second electrode move to the opposite side and enter the quantum dot light-emitting layer, combining to generate excitons, and the excitons recombine to emit light. However, this light-emitting method faces some problems. The electricity used in life and production is mainly 220V alternating current. In order to ensure the normal operation of direct current QLED devices, it is necessary to add complex AC-DC conversion devices, which greatly increases the complexity and cost of the system. In addition, from the perspective of device structure, under direct current drive, in order to achieve carrier injection balance, QLED devices usually adopt a multi-layer film structure. The device structure is complex, and the continuous injection of carriers will produce an accumulation effect of charge. The aggregation of electron transport materials and hole transport materials on one side is not conducive to the life of the material, which accelerates the damage of the material structure and the aging of the device, causing the QLED device to gradually produce dark spots, thereby destroying the entire device.
[0004] AC-driven QLED devices are mainly lit by switching between positive and negative currents or doping hole injection layer (HIL) materials and electron injection layer (ETL) materials into the light-emitting layer in a certain proportion. However, the positive and negative current switching method often requires a complex multi-layer film structure, and most film materials need to be realized by vacuum evaporation, which invisibly increases the production cost and process complexity; and doping hole injection layer (HIL) materials and electron injection layer (ETL) materials into the light-emitting layer in a certain proportion will reduce the injection efficiency of carriers and affect the photoelectric performance of the device. In addition, the device only emits light in half of the forward drive cycle, and the brightness of the light changes continuously, affecting the display effect of the device. Summary of the invention

[0083] Optionally, the first p-type charge generating units 132 and the first n-type charge generating units 131 are arranged in parallel and alternately adjacent to each other, and the second p-type charge generating units 151 and the second n-type charge generating units 152 are arranged in parallel and alternately adjacent to each other.
[0084] Optionally, the thickness of the first pn-type charge generation layer 13 and the second pn-type charge generation layer 15 is 5 nm to 50 nm, for example, 5 nm, 10 nm, 15 nm, 20 nm, 25 nm, 30 nm, 35 nm, 40 nm, 45 nm and 50 nm, or other unlisted values between 5 nm and 50 nm.
[0085] In a specific embodiment, the orthographic projection of the first p-type charge generating unit 132 on the QLED device plane coincides with the orthographic projection of the second n-type charge generating unit 152 on the QLED device plane, and the orthographic projection of the second p-type charge generating unit 151 on the QLED device plane coincides with the orthographic projection of the first n-type charge generating unit 131 on the QLED device plane.
[0086] For example, the orthographic projection area of the first p-type charge generating unit 132 on the plane of the QLED device is equal to the orthographic projection area of the second n-type charge generating unit 152 on the plane of the QLED device, and the two completely overlap along the projection direction; the orthographic projection area of the second p-type charge generating unit 151 on the plane of the QLED device is equal to the orthographic projection area of the first n-type charge generating unit 131 on the plane of the QLED device, and the two completely overlap along the projection direction. Under such a structure, the visual effect of the QLED device when lit is better.
[0087] In another specific embodiment, the orthographic projection area of the first p-type charge generating unit 132 on the plane of the QLED device is not equal to the orthographic projection area of the second n-type charge generating unit 152 on the plane of the QLED device, and the two do not completely overlap along the projection direction; the orthographic projection area of the second p-type charge generating unit 151 on the plane of the QLED device is not equal to the orthographic projection area of the first n-type charge generating unit 131 on the plane of the QLED device, and the two do not completely overlap along the projection direction. Because there is a partial correspondence between the first p-type charge generating unit 132 and the second n-type charge generating unit 152, and between the second p-type charge generating unit 151 and the first n-type charge generating unit 131, they can still be alternately lit under positive and negative bias voltages, so the QLED device can still produce a stable lighting visual effect.

[0093] The orthographic projection of the first p-type charge generating unit 132 on the QLED device plane and the orthographic projection of the second n-type charge generating unit 152 on the QLED device plane have at least one overlapping area, and the orthographic projection of the second p-type charge generating unit 151 on the QLED device plane and the orthographic projection of the first n-type charge generating unit 131 on the QLED device plane have at least one overlapping area.
