Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of inkjet printing technology, and particularly relates to a quantum dot ink and an electroluminescent device. Background Technology

[0002] Quantum dots, also known as semiconductor nanocrystals, are a novel type of semiconductor nanomaterial with sizes ranging from 1 to 10 nm. Due to quantum size and dielectric confinement effects, they possess unique photoluminescence (PL) and electroluminescence (EL) properties. Compared to traditional organic fluorescent dyes, quantum dots exhibit superior optical properties such as high quantum yield, high photochemical stability, resistance to photolysis, broad excitation and narrow emission range, high color purity, and the ability to adjust the emitted color by controlling the size of the luminescent nanoparticles. These properties make them promising candidates for applications in display technology, with quantum dot color filters being one of the most promising applications and a current research hotspot.

[0003] Currently, quantum dot color filters are typically fabricated using inkjet printing. The advantage of inkjet printing lies in its ability to control the position and size of the quantum dot ink droplets, thus enabling the printing of a film. Existing quantum dot inks are usually formulated by dispersing quantum dots in a non-polar solvent. In the fabrication of electroluminescent devices, the quantum dot ink is inkjet-printed onto a TFB layer (hole transport layer). Since the TFB layer is formed by spin-coating a polar polyaniline-based material, an interfacial effect exists at the interface between the TFB layer and the light-emitting layer after printing the aforementioned quantum dot ink onto the TFB layer to form the light-emitting layer. This results in uneven light emission from the film surface of the device.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new quantum dot ink that is compatible with TFB layers formed from polar polyaniline-based materials. Summary of the Invention

[0033] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. It should be noted that these embodiments are only partial, not complete.

[0034] As used herein, expressions such as "at least one" modify the entire list of elements without modifying any individual elements of the list when placed before or after it. Unless otherwise defined, all terms in this specification (including technical and scientific terms) are to be defined as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. Terms defined in common dictionaries should be interpreted as consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and in this disclosure, and should not be interpreted ideally or overly broadly unless clearly defined. Furthermore, unless expressly stated to the contrary, the terms "comprising" and "including," when used in this specification, indicate the presence of the stated features, regions, wholes, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, regions, wholes, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or sets thereof. Therefore, the above terms should be understood to mean that the stated elements are included, but not that any other elements are excluded.

[0035] As used herein, the term “and / or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items. The term “or” means “and / or”.

[0036] It will be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc., may be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers and / or parts, these elements, components, regions, layers and / or parts should not be limited by these terms.

[0037] As used herein, “about” or “approximately” includes the stated value and means within an acceptable range of deviation from the specific value, as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art taking into account the measurement in question and the errors associated with the measurement of the specific quantity (i.e., limitations of the measurement system). For example, “about” may mean a deviation from the stated value within one or more standard deviations, or within ±10%, ±5%.

[0038] As mentioned in the background section, existing quantum dot inks are usually formulated by dispersing quantum dots in a non-polar solvent. When fabricating electroluminescent devices, quantum dot ink is inkjet printed onto a TFB layer (hole transport layer). Since the TFB layer is formed by spin-coating a polar polyaniline-based material, after the quantum dot ink is printed onto the TFB layer to form the light-emitting layer, there is an interface effect at the interface between the TFB layer and the light-emitting layer, resulting in uneven light emission from the film surface of the device.

[0039] Based on this, a first aspect of the present invention provides a quantum dot ink, comprising quantum dots and a mixed polar solvent. The quantum dot comprises a quantum dot body and organic segments connected to the surface of the quantum dot body, the organic segments being linked to functional groups soluble in the polar solvent; the mixed polar solvent comprises a variety of polar solvents. The present invention connects functional groups soluble in polar solvents to the surface of the quantum dot body, enabling the quantum dots to dissolve in polar solvents (such as propylene glycol methyl ether acetate, diethylene glycol butyl ether acetate, diethylene glycol methyl ether acetate, ethylene glycol ethyl ether acetate, ethylene glycol butyl ether, dipropylene glycol methyl ether, propylene glycol ethyl ether, propylene glycol butyl ether, etc.). When this ink is printed on a TFB layer, the ink and the TFB layer are similarly miscible, resulting in high interfacial compatibility between the quantum dot luminescent layer and the TFB layer.

[0040] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the quantum dot ink further includes an additive, which includes a zinc halide compound. The inventors have discovered that adding zinc halide as an additive to the ink can improve the electrical properties of the light-emitting layer formed by the ink, further enhancing charge injection and charge transport between the light-emitting layer and the hole transport layer and electron transport layer, and significantly improving the conductivity of the electroluminescent device without affecting efficiency.

[0041] Preferably, the zinc halide is selected from at least one of zinc chloride, zinc bromide, and zinc iodide. As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, zinc chloride is added as an additive to the above-mentioned quantum dot ink. Zinc chloride has good solubility in polar solvents and exhibits a mild reaction.

[0042] Preferably, the zinc halide accounts for 1%-10% of the mass of the quantum dot ink. The inventors have found that when the content of zinc halide, especially zinc chloride, is less than 1%, it does not improve the electrical performance, and when it is more than 10%, it reduces the solubility and affects the surface of the light-emitting layer.

[0043] Regarding the design of functional groups soluble in polar solvents attached to the quantum dot matrix, in this invention, the organic chain segments are derived from at least one of pentaerythritol tetra(3-mercaptopropionate), pentaerythritol tetra(3-mercaptobutyrate), and tris[2-(3-mercaptopropionyloxy)ethyl]isocyanurate; the functional groups soluble in polar solvents include at least one of ester, ether, hydroxyl, amino, and amide groups. Specifically, the quantum dots of this invention with functional groups soluble in polar solvents are obtained by reacting the quantum dot matrix with an organic compound dispersed in a solvent, wherein the organic compound contains functional groups soluble in polar solvents.

[0044] In this invention, when the functional group soluble in polar solvents includes an ester group, the organic compound includes one of ethyl acetate, methyl formate, and glyceryl stearate.

[0045] When the functional group soluble in polar solvents includes an ether group, the organic compound includes at least one of ethylene glycol butyl ether, dipropylene glycol methyl ether, propylene glycol ethyl ether, and propylene glycol butyl ether.

[0046] When the functional group soluble in polar solvents includes a hydroxyl group, the organic compound includes one of methanol, ethanol, ethylene glycol, glycerol, n-butanol, cyclohexanehexyl alcohol, benzyl alcohol, phenol, cresol, aminophenol, nitrophenol, naphthol, and chlorophenol.

[0047] When the functional group soluble in polar solvents includes an amine group, the organic compound includes one of dimethylamine, diethylamine, dipropylamine, dibutylamine, N-ethylmethylamine, and N-methyl-n-propylamine.

[0048] When the functional group soluble in polar solvents includes an amide group, the organic compound includes at least one of formamide, acetamide, propionamide, butyramide, or isobutyramide.

[0049] As a preferred embodiment of the aforementioned quantum dot ink, the solvent for dispersing the quantum dot bulk and the organic compound includes at least one of xylene, toluene, and trimethylbenzene. Such solvents can better dissolve the quantum dot bulk and the organic compound, and promote efficient reaction.

[0050] As a preferred embodiment of the aforementioned quantum dot ink, the mixed polar solvents include 3,5,5-trimethyl-1-hexanol, tripropylene glycol butyl ether, n-decyl alcohol, laurate methacrylate, and 4-tert-butylcyclohexyl acetate. The boiling points of each polar solvent in this ink increase sequentially. During inkjet printing of this quantum dot ink, the polar solvents evaporate in a gradient, avoiding complete evaporation at once. This ensures the dispersion of quantum dots during film formation, thereby ensuring a smooth film surface on the device.

[0051] As a preferred embodiment of the aforementioned quantum dot ink, the quantum dot ink comprises, by mass fraction, 2%-3% of the quantum dots, 30%-32% of the 3,5,5-trimethyl-1-hexanol, 15%-17% of the tripropylene glycol butyl ether, 11%-13% of the n-decyl alcohol, 5%-7% of the laurate methacrylate, and 31%-33% of the 4-tert-butylcyclohexyl acetate. This formulation of polar solvents balances the solubility of quantum dots with the requirements of inkjet printing.

[0052] As a preferred embodiment of the aforementioned quantum dot ink, the quantum dots are selected from blue cadmium-free and lead-free quantum dots, such as: ZnS, ZnSe, ZnTe, ZnO, HgS, HgSe, HgTe, MgSe, MgS, ZnSeS, ZnSeTe, ZnSTe, HgSeS, HgSeTe, HgSTe, HgZnS, HgZnSe, HgZnTe, MgZnSe, MgZnS, HgZnTeS, HgZnSeS, HgZnSeTe, HgZnSTe, GaN, GaP, GaAs, GaSb, AlN, AlP, AlAs, AlSb, InN, InP, InAs, InSb, GaNP, GaNAs. GaNSb, GaPAs, GaPSb, AlNP, AlNAs, AlNSb, AlPAs, AlPSb, InNP, InNAs, InNSb, InPAs, InPSb, InZnP, GaAlNP, GaAlNAs, GaAlNSb, GaAlPAs, GaAlPSb, GaInNP, GaInNAs, GaInNSb, GaInPAs, GaInPSb, InAlNP, InAlNAs, InAlNSb, InAlPAs, InAlPSb or combinations thereof, perovskite nanocrystals.

[0053] According to a second aspect of the present invention, an electroluminescent device is provided, comprising an electron transport layer prepared from the aforementioned quantum dot ink.

[0054] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and comparative examples. However, the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments. The implementation conditions used in the embodiments can be further adjusted according to different requirements of specific use. The conditions not specified are conventional conditions in the industry.
