[0002] Quantum dots (QDs), also known as semiconductor nanocrystals, are nanocrystals with radii smaller than or close to the exciton Bohr radius, typically ranging from 1 nm to 20 nm in size. Quantum dots exhibit unique fluorescent nanoeffects; their emission wavelength can be modulated by changing their size and composition. They possess advantages such as narrow full width at half maximum (FWHM) emission spectra, high color purity, good photostability, broad excitation spectra, and controllable emission spectra, making them promising for applications in photovoltaic power generation, optoelectronic displays, and biological probes.

[0080] In order to improve the overall crosslinking speed and increase the density of the network structure, in some embodiments of this application, the at least two reactive groups are the same reactive groups to ensure that the reactive groups have the same priority and reduce the risk of multiple reactive groups bonding with the first ligand of the same quantum dot.

[0089] For (b), the quantum dot, the first ligand, and the crosslinking agent are all described above.
[0090] In the thin film of this application embodiment, at least two adjacent quantum dots are connected by a second ligand, which improves the binding force between quantum dots, enhances the compactness and order of the quantum dot arrangement in the thin film, and reduces the surface roughness of the thin film. The root mean square roughness of the thin film is, for example, 0.8 nm to 1.1 nm.

[0098] This application also provides a method for fabricating a light-emitting device, which can be used to fabricate any of the light-emitting devices described above, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the fabrication method of the light-emitting device includes the following steps:
[0099] S11. Provide a bottom electrode, and deposit a dispersion on one side of the bottom electrode, the dispersion containing quantum dots and a crosslinking agent;
[0100] S12. Perform cross-linking induction treatment on the deposited dispersion;
[0101] S13. The dispersion after cross-linking induction treatment is dried to obtain the luminescent layer;
[0102] S14. A top electrode is formed on the side of the light-emitting layer away from the bottom electrode.
[0103] In this design, one of the bottom electrode and the top electrode is the anode, and the other is the cathode. Multiple first ligands are attached to the surface of the quantum dots, and at least some of these first ligands can bond with the reactive groups of the crosslinking agent to form second ligands. It should be noted that the dispersant, quantum dots, crosslinking agent, the proportions of each component in the dispersion, and the first ligands are all as described above; step S12 is described as described in step S2 above, and step S13 is described as described in step S3 above.
[0104] To further improve the overall performance of the light-emitting device, in some embodiments of this application, the fabrication method of the light-emitting device further includes the steps of: forming a hole functional layer between the anode and the light-emitting layer, and / or forming an electron functional layer between the cathode and the light-emitting layer. The structural composition of the hole functional layer and the electron functional layer are as described above.
[0105] It should be noted that, in addition to the light-emitting layer, the preparation methods for other functional films in the light-emitting device include, but are not limited to, chemical and / or physical methods. Chemical methods include, but are not limited to, one or more of chemical vapor deposition, continuous ion layer adsorption and reaction, anodic oxidation, electrolytic deposition, and co-precipitation. Physical methods include, but are not limited to, physical deposition and solution methods. Physical deposition methods include, but are not limited to, one or more of thermal evaporation deposition, electron beam evaporation deposition, magnetron sputtering, multi-arc ion deposition, physical vapor deposition, atomic layer deposition, and pulsed laser deposition. Solution methods include, but are not limited to, one or more of spin coating, printing, inkjet printing, blade coating, dip coating, immersion coating, spraying, roller coating, casting, slot coating, and strip coating. When forming functional films using a solution method, a drying process is required to transform the wet film into a cured film. This drying process includes, but is not limited to, heat treatment, vacuum drying, and air drying. For functional films located above the light-emitting layer (made of inorganic compounds, especially inorganic nanoparticles), after forming a cured film using low-temperature drying processes (temperature not exceeding 80°C) such as vacuum drying and air drying, further annealing processes with controllable annealing depth, such as pulsed laser annealing, electron beam annealing, atomic annealing, and infrared irradiation annealing, can be used to further improve the film quality.
[0106] It is understandable that in existing technologies, the preparation method of the light-emitting layer includes the steps of depositing a quantum dot solution (without a crosslinking agent) and then drying the deposited quantum dot solution to solidify it into a film. Because the quantum dot surface contains abundant ligands, the spacing between the quantum dots after film formation is relatively large, the quantum dots are loosely arranged, and the bonding between the light-emitting layer and the underlying functional layer is low. Therefore, when using a solution method to prepare the functional film layer above the light-emitting layer, the deposited quantum dots may be redissolved or washed away by the functional material solution above, resulting in increased surface roughness of the light-emitting layer. The light-emitting device preparation method in this application can improve the bonding force between quantum dots in the light-emitting layer, increase the density and order of the quantum dot arrangement in the light-emitting layer, and improve the bonding density between the light-emitting layer and the underlying functional layer, effectively improving the film uniformity of the light-emitting layer. The light-emitting device preparation method in this application is not only simple in process but also suitable for large-scale industrial production. The resulting light-emitting layer has a dense and uniform structure, high luminous brightness, better luminous effect, and higher luminous stability.
[0107] After the various functional film layers of the light-emitting device are prepared, an encapsulation process is required. The encapsulation process can be carried out by commonly used machine encapsulation or manual encapsulation. In the encapsulation environment, the oxygen content and water content are both below 0.1 ppm to ensure the stability of the light-emitting device.

The electronic device can be any electronic product with display function, including but not limited to smartphones, tablets, laptops, digital cameras, digital camcorders, smart wearable devices, smart weighing scales, in-vehicle displays, televisions, or e-book readers. Smart wearable devices can be, for example, smart bracelets, smartwatches, virtual reality (VR) headsets, etc.

[0199] Experimental Example 1
[0200] The surface morphology of the films prepared in Examples 1 to 10 and Comparative Example 1 was observed using an atomic force microscope (AFM). Figure 5 and Figure 6 The surface morphology of the films prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 are shown respectively. The root mean square (RMS) roughness of the films prepared in Examples 1 to 10 and Comparative Example 1 was measured, and the results are shown in Table 1 below:
[0201] Table 1. RMS values of the films prepared in Examples 1 to 10 and Comparative Example 1.
[0202]
[0203] As shown in Table 1, compared to the films in Comparative Examples 1 to 3, the RMS values of the films in Examples 1 to 10 indicate that the surface smoothness of the films in Examples 1 to 10 is better than that of the film in Comparative Example 1. Taking Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 as examples, the RMS value of the film in Example 1 is only 53.5% of the RMS value of the film in Example 1, and... Figure 5 and Figure 6 It can be seen that, compared with the film morphology of Comparative Example 1, the film morphology in Example 1 is more uniform, and there are fewer film pores and quantum dot aggregations.
[0204] In the film preparation methods of Examples 1 to 10, the reactive groups of the crosslinking agent can bond with the first ligand located on the surface of the quantum dots, allowing the first ligands of different quantum dots to undergo intramolecular crosslinking through the crosslinking reaction and bond with each other to form a network structure. This connects the quantum dots through the crosslinking agent, improving the bonding force between them and effectively mitigating the "agglomeration" phenomenon of quantum dots in solution. This effectively enhances the compactness and orderliness of the quantum dot arrangement in the film, improves film uniformity, and reduces the surface roughness of the film, thus effectively improving the film quality. In Comparative Examples 1 and 2, the film preparation methods do not involve crosslinking agents, and the quantum dots are prone to "agglomeration," resulting in poor film uniformity and a loose arrangement of quantum dots, leading to high surface roughness. Although the film preparation method in Comparative Example 3 involves a crosslinking agent, the wet film of the dispersion was not subjected to ultraviolet light treatment, thus failing to induce a crosslinking reaction, resulting in poor film quality.
[0205] Experiment Example 2
[0206] Performance testing was performed on the packaged light-emitting devices from Examples 11 to 20 and Comparative Examples 4 to 6. An efficiency testing system was constructed using a Fostar FPD optical characteristic measurement device (including an Ocean Optics USB2000, a LabVIEW-controlled QE-PRO spectrometer, a Keithley 2400, a high-precision digital source meter Keithley 6485, a 50μm inner diameter optical fiber, device test probes and fixtures, various connecting cables and data cards, an efficiency test cassette, and a data acquisition system). The system measured the turn-on voltage, current, and maximum brightness (L) of each light-emitting device. max The parameters such as nit (nit) and emission spectrum were measured, and the lifespan of each of the above-mentioned light-emitting devices was tested using a lifespan testing device.
[0207] The current efficiency test method is as follows: the light-emitting area is set to 2mm × 2mm = 4mm. 2The brightness values of the light-emitting device are intermittently collected within the driving voltage range of 0V to 6V. The initial voltage value for collecting brightness is 3V, and a measurement is taken every 0.2V. The current efficiency of the light-emitting device under that sampling condition is obtained by dividing the brightness value collected each time by the corresponding current density. The maximum current efficiency (CE) is then obtained. max ,cd / m 2 ).
[0208] The lifespan test method is as follows: Under constant current (2mA) drive, a 128-channel QLED lifespan test system is used to perform electroluminescence lifespan analysis on each light-emitting device, and the time (T95,h) required for each light-emitting device to decay from maximum brightness to 95% is recorded.
[0209] The performance test data of each light-emitting device at 25℃ are detailed in Table 2 below:
[0210] Table 2. Summary of performance test data of the light-emitting devices in Examples 11 to 20 and Comparative Example 2 at 25°C.
[0211]
[0212]
[0213] As shown in Table 2, compared to the overall performance of the light-emitting devices in Comparative Examples 4 to 6, the light-emitting devices in Examples 11 to 20 have superior overall performance. Specifically, the light-emitting devices in Examples 11 to 20 exhibit better photoelectric performance and longer device lifetime. Taking the light-emitting devices in Example 11 and Comparative Example 2 as examples, the L of the light-emitting device in Example 11... max L of the light-emitting device in Comparative Example 2 max The T95 of the light-emitting device in Example 11 is 1.2 times that of the light-emitting device in Example 2, and the T95 of the light-emitting device in Example 11 is 1.5 times that of the light-emitting device in Example 2, and the CE of the light-emitting device in Example 11 is... max CE of the light-emitting device in Comparative Example 2 max 1.5 times.
[0214] In Comparative Example 4, the light-emitting layer of the light-emitting device exhibits problems such as loose quantum dot arrangement and high surface roughness. This is due to two main reasons: firstly, the surface of the quantum dots is rich in octylthiol ligands, resulting in a certain spacing between the quantum dots and low inter-quantum dot bonding, leading to a loose arrangement; secondly, quantum dots are prone to aggregation in solution, causing uneven film formation. Furthermore, when preparing the film layer (e.g., the electronic functional layer) above the light-emitting layer using a solution method, the deposited quantum dots may be redissolved or washed away by the above nano-ZnO-ethanol solution, exacerbating the surface unevenness of the light-emitting layer and thus reducing the overall performance of the light-emitting device. The film quality of the light-emitting layer in Comparative Example 5 is not significantly different from that in Comparative Example 4. This may be because, although an ultraviolet light treatment step was added to the preparation method of the light-emitting layer, the dispersion containing quantum dots does not contain a crosslinking agent, resulting in poor film quality. Therefore, the overall performance of the light-emitting devices in Comparative Example 4 and Comparative Example 5 is not significantly different. The overall performance of the light-emitting device in Comparative Example 6 is not as good as that of the light-emitting devices in Examples 11 to 20, and the difference from the overall performance of the light-emitting devices in Comparative Examples 4 and 5 is not significant. This may be because, although a crosslinking agent was added to the dispersion containing quantum dots in the preparation method of the light-emitting layer, no ultraviolet light treatment step was added, resulting in poor film quality of the light-emitting layer. The light-emitting layers of the light-emitting devices in Examples 11 to 20 have the advantages of compact structure, high uniformity, and low surface roughness. This is because the reactive groups of the crosslinking agent can bond with the first ligand located on the surface of the quantum dots, allowing the ligands of different quantum dots to undergo intramolecular crosslinking through the crosslinking reaction and bond with each other to form a network structure. Thus, the quantum dots are connected by the crosslinking agent, improving the bonding force between quantum dots and effectively improving the "aggregation" phenomenon of quantum dots in solution. This enhances the compactness and orderliness of the quantum dot arrangement in the light-emitting layer, promotes film uniformity, reduces the surface roughness of the light-emitting layer, and is beneficial to improving the photoelectric performance and device lifespan of the light-emitting device.
