Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of display, and in particular to a light-emitting device and a display apparatus. Background Art

[0002] Light-emitting devices emit light by releasing energy through the recombination of electrons and holes, and are widely used in the field of lighting. In recent years, quantum dots (QDs) have attracted widespread attention from industry, academia, and research circles due to their advantages of high fluorescence quantum yield, good monochromaticity, continuously adjustable emission spectrum with size, and strong photochemical and thermal stability. Quantum dot light emitting diodes (QLEDs) constructed with quantum dots as the light-emitting layer have become one of the most active scientific research topics due to their many advantages such as low cost, high brightness, wide color gamut, and excellent solution processability, and have shown great competitive potential in the next generation of flat panel display and solid-state lighting applications.

[0003] Although QLED display technology is inherited and developed from OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode), the performance of the device can be improved by applying the existing theories in OLED to QLED. However, since quantum dots are nanomaterials, when paired with other functional layers, there are huge differences in the type of material, its own structural design and film quality, the film interface injection barrier between the quantum dot material and other functional layers, and the aging and attenuation of the material itself. As a result, when different quantum dots are used in the actual processing process, completely different carrier transmission conditions will appear in the device, which aggravates the difficulty of optimizing QLED devices, making it difficult to improve the luminous efficiency and life of QLED devices at the same time, greatly limiting its development. Therefore, for quantum dot materials with large differences, it is urgent to develop more targeted high-performance light-emitting devices. Summary of the invention

[0042] The technical solution of this application is implemented as follows:

[0043] In a first aspect, the present application provides a light emitting device 100, which may be a quantum dot light emitting diode (QLED) or the like. Figure 1 The light emitting device 100 comprises an anode 10, a hole transport layer 50, a light emitting layer 20, and a cathode 30 stacked in sequence. The material of the light emitting layer 20 comprises a quantum dot 201 material, and the quantum dot 201 material comprises a quantum dot 201 and a ligand connected to the surface of the quantum dot 201.

[0044] In some embodiments, the raw material of the ligand includes at least one of substituted or unsubstituted C10-C24 chain organic carboxylic acid, substituted or unsubstituted C10-C24 chain organic amine, substituted or unsubstituted C1-C24 chain thiol, substituted or unsubstituted C10-C24 chain organic phosphine, substituted or unsubstituted C10-C24 chain organic phosphine oxide, and halide. Wherein, "substituted or unsubstituted" means that the defined group can be substituted or not substituted. When the defined group is substituted, it should be understood that the defined group can be substituted by one or more substituents; the substituent is selected from at least one of C1-C8 alkyl, C1-C8 alkoxy and halogen; optionally, the substituent is selected from at least one of C1-C5 alkyl, C1-C5 alkoxy and halogen; or the substituent is selected from at least one of C1-C3 alkyl, C1-C3 alkoxy and halogen. The halogen refers to -F, -Cl, -Br or -I. Specifically, the organic carboxylic acid includes one or more of decadecanoic acid (CAS: 334-48-5), undecenoic acid (CAS: 112-38-9), tetradecanoic acid (CAS: 544-63-8), oleic acid (CAS: 112-80-1) and stearic acid (CAS: 57-11-4); the organic amine includes one or more of oleylamine (CAS: 112-90-3) and octadecylamine (CAS: 124-30-1); the organic (oxygen) phosphine includes tris(II)-1-butylene glycol (CAS: 112-30-1); One or more of octylphosphine (CAS: 4731-53-7) and trioctylphosphine oxide (CAS: 78-50-2); the thiol includes one or more of n-octylmercaptan (CAS: 111-88-6), dodecanethiol (CAS: 112-55-0) and octadecanethiol (CAS: 2885-00-9); the halide is selected from one or more of hydrofluoric acid, hydrochloric acid, hydroiodic acid, hydrobromic acid, metal fluoride, metal chloride, metal iodide and metal bromide.

[0045] The mass of the ligand accounts for 15% to 20% of the total mass of the quantum dots 201 and the ligand, for example, it can be 15%, 16%, 17%, 18%, 19%, 20% and values ​​between any two of the above values. Within this range, it helps to improve the dispersibility of the quantum dots 201 and enhance its film-forming effect.

[0046] In some embodiments, the ligand includes a first ligand, the first ligand is derived from one or more of substituted or unsubstituted C1-C24 chain thiols and halides, the first ligand is a strong coordination ligand, can form a strong coordination bond with the surface cation of the quantum dot 201, is not easy to fall off, and helps to improve the film-forming effect of the light-emitting layer 20. It can be understood that in some embodiments, in addition to the first ligand, the ligand also contains some ligands with relatively weak coordination effects (weak ligands), including but not limited to organic carboxylic acids, organic amines, etc.

[0047] The mass of the ligand accounts for 3% to 8% of the mass of the quantum dot 201 material; for example, it can be 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8% and any value between the above two values. When the content of the strongly coordinated ligand connected to the surface of the quantum dot 201 is small, its QY is generally low, and the film-forming property is relatively poor. In view of this, in the embodiment of the present application, the thickness of the light-emitting layer 20 is 0.8n to 1.2n times the average particle size of the quantum dot 201, where n is an integer greater than or equal to 3. By processing the light-emitting layer 20 into a thin film of three or more layers, it helps to improve the film-forming quality.

[0048] The technical solution provided in the present application, when the material used for the light-emitting layer 20 is quantum dots 201 with a low ligand content, is to set the light-emitting layer 20 to be a multilayer film constructed of three or more layers of quantum dots 201, which can ensure that the light-emitting layer 20 has a better film-forming effect, help improve the interface contact between the light-emitting layer 20 and the adjacent film layer in the device, and further help to simultaneously improve the luminous efficiency and service life of the device.

[0049] Furthermore, in some embodiments, when the anions on the surface of the quantum dot 201 include sulfur atoms, for example, when the quantum dot 201 is CdS or CdSe / ZnSe / CdZnS, and the ligand is a thiol ligand, then when preparing the quantum dot 201, the thiol compound can be added as an anion source, and the S atoms on the ligand can be directly coordinated and connected with the cations on the surface of the quantum dot 201, or directly act as S atoms on the shell surface of the quantum dot 201 and be directly embedded in the shell, which helps to further improve the coordination effect of the ligand and reduce the probability of shedding.

[0050] It can be understood that the content of the ligand and the first ligand can be obtained by nuclear magnetic resonance and thermal gravimetric test detection, and the number of the first ligand on the surface of quantum dot 201 can be introduced during the synthesis process or introduced by ligand exchange. First, nuclear magnetic resonance can measure the content of specific ligands on the surface of quantum dot 201. Secondly, thermal gravimetric test can determine the total content of ligands on the surface of quantum dot 201. Finally, the difference between the ligands of the two is the content of other ligands. The specific test method for determining the content of specific ligands on the surface of quantum dot 201 by nuclear magnetic resonance is as follows: dissolve quantum dot 201 in a deuterated reagent, and add a specific amount of internal standard as a reference, and calculate the ratio of the chemical shift integrated area of ​​the ligand of quantum dot 201 to the chemical shift integrated area of ​​the internal standard, so as to quantify the content of the ligand to be measured. The thermal gravimetric test detection method is as follows: heat the quantum dot 201 material until its mass no longer changes, record the weight loss W1 of the material when it starts to lose weight to the shedding temperature of the strongly coordinated ligand (i.e., the first ligand), and record the weight loss W2 of the material when it starts to lose weight to the time when its mass no longer changes, then W2 is the content of the ligand, and W2-W1 is the content of the first ligand.

[0051] NMR and thermal gravimetric methods can also be used simultaneously, for example: to determine the content of specific quantum dot 201 surface ligands oleic acid (weak ligand) and thiol (where thiol is the first ligand). The specific test method is as follows: First, dissolve quantum dot 201 in deuterated toluene, use ferrocene as an internal standard (the amount added is rated, the chemical shift is 3.8-4.0ppm), and measure the chemical shift of quantum dot 201 ligand at 5.4-5.8ppm. Finally, divide the integral area of ​​the chemical shift of the ligand at 5.4-5.8ppm by the integral area of ​​the chemical shift of the internal standard at 3.8-4.0ppm to obtain the content of oleic acid ligand. Second, for example: measure the thermal gravimetric loss of quantum dot 201 at 20-600℃, and record the weight loss at 100℃-500℃, which is the total content of ligands on the surface of quantum dot 201. Finally, subtract the oleic acid ligand content from the total ligand content to obtain the thiol ligand content.

[0052] In some other embodiments, when the anions on the surface of the quantum dot 201 include sulfur atoms, for example, when the quantum dot 201 is CdS or CdSe / ZnSe / CdZnS, and the ligand is a thiol ligand or a thioether ligand, when preparing the quantum dot 201, the thiol compound or the thioether compound can be added as an anion source, and the S atoms on the ligand can be directly coordinated and connected with the cations on the surface of the quantum dot 201, or directly act as S atoms on the shell surface of the quantum dot 201 and be directly embedded in the shell, which helps to further improve the coordination effect of the ligand and reduce the probability of shedding.

[0053] In some embodiments, the material of the light-emitting layer 20 of the device uses a quantum dot 201 material with a strong coordination ligand content of 3% to 8%, and is prepared as a multilayer film. Generally speaking, compared with a single-layer film and a double-layer film, a multilayer film has more layers of quantum dots 201. When carriers tunnel through the light-emitting layer 20, they need to tunnel through multiple quantum dots 201 and multiple ligands, which has a larger tunneling barrier, resulting in reduced carrier injection. In view of this, the present application further optimizes the device structure.

[0054] In some embodiments, n is less than or equal to 10, that is, n is an integer greater than or equal to 3 and less than or equal to 10, for example, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10. This can improve the film quality of the film layer, limit the thickness of the film layer, and reduce the restriction on carrier injection.

[0055] In some embodiments, the average particle size of the quantum dots 201 is 5 to 8 nm, for example, 5 nm, 6 nm, 7 nm, 8 nm, and values ​​between any two of the above values, so that the quantum dots 201 are more conducive to forming a multilayer film. Correspondingly, the thickness of the light-emitting layer 20 is 12 to 96 nm, for example, 12 nm, 15 nm, 18 nm, 20 nm, 21 nm, 24 nm, 28 nm, 30 nm, 32 nm, 40 nm, 50 nm, 60 nm, 70 nm, 80 nm, 90 nm, 96 nm, and values ​​between any two of the above values.

[0056] In some embodiments, the shape of the quantum dot 201 includes but is not limited to sphere, cube, tetrahedron, column, tetrapod, octapod, flake, etc.

[0057] In some embodiments, the quantum dot 201 is a quantum dot 201 of a core-shell structure, and the quantum dot 201 has a first shell and a second shell from the inside to the outside. The material of the first shell is ZnSe, and the shallow valence band helps to improve hole injection, but its own band gap is relatively moderate, and its ability to bind excitons is relatively weak; the material of the second shell is CdZnS, which not only has a relatively wide band gap, but also has a relatively moderate position of the valence band, which can ensure that the hole injection into the luminescent core is improved under the premise of exciton binding, thereby improving the carrier recombination efficiency. The two shells work together to effectively reduce the hole injection barrier, which helps to efficiently inject holes into the core of the quantum dot 201.

[0058] In some embodiments, the ratio of the thickness of the first shell layer to the radius of the core of the quantum dot 201 is 0.5 to 2:1; for example, the ratio can be 0.5:1, 0.6:1, 0.8:1, 1:1, 1.1:1, 1.2:1, 1.3:1, 1.5:1, etc.; this helps to effectively control the binding ability of excitons, which is not only beneficial to reduce the tunneling barrier during carrier injection and promote carrier injection, but also helps to effectively recombine the carriers injected into the core of the quantum dot 201.

[0059] In some embodiments, the ratio of the thickness of the second shell layer to the radius of the core of the quantum dot 201 is 0.4 to 2:1; for example, the ratio can be 0.4:1, 0.6:1, 0.8:1, 1:1, 1.2:1, 1.3:1, 1.5:1, 1.7:1, 1.8:1, 2:1, etc.; this helps to effectively control the binding ability of excitons and isolate the excitons from the outside world, thereby reducing the probability of excitons being captured by the outside world, while reducing the tunneling barrier during carrier injection and promoting carrier injection.

[0060] In some embodiments, the core material of the quantum dot 201 can be selected from but not limited to at least one of a II-VI compound, an IV-VI compound, a III-V compound, and an I-III-VI compound; as an example, the II-VI compound is selected from but not limited to CdS, CdSe, CdTe, ZnS, ZnSe, ZnTe, ZnO, HgS, HgSe, HgTe, CdSeS, CdSeTe, CdSTe, ZnSeS, ZnSeTe, ZnSTe, HgSeS, HgSeTe, HgST e, CdZnS, CdZnSe, CdZnTe, CdHgS, CdHgSe, CdHgTe, HgZnS, HgZnSe, HgZnTe, CdZnSeS, CdZnSeTe, CdZnSTe, CdHgSeS, CdHgSeTe, CdHgSTe, HgZnSeS, HgZnSeTe and HgZnSTe; the IV-VI group compound is selected from but not limited to SnS, SnSe, SnTe, PbS, PbSe, PbTe, SnSeS, SnSeTe, At least one of SnSTe, PbSeS, PbSeTe, PbSTe, SnPbS, SnPbSe, SnPbTe, SnPbSSe, SnPbSeTe, SnPbSTe; the III-V group compound is selected from but not limited to GaN, GaP, GaAs, GaSb, AlN, AlP, AlAs, AlSb, InN, InP, InAs, InSb, GaNP, GaNAs, GaNSb, GaPAs, GaPSb, AlNP, AlNAs, AlNSb, AlPAs, A At least one of lPSb, InNP, InNAs, InNSb, InPAs, InPSb, GaAlNP, GaAlNAs, GaAlNSb, GaAlPAs, GaAlPSb, GaInNP, GaInNAs, GaInNSb, GaInPAs, GaInPSb, InAlNP, InAlNAs, InAlNSb, InAlPAs and InAlPSb; the I-III-VI group compound is selected from at least one of CuInS2, CuInSe2 and AgInS2.

[0061] As an example, the core-shell structured quantum dots 201 may be selected from but not limited to at least one of CdZnSe / ZnSe / CdZnS, CdSe / ZnSe / CdZnS, InP / ZnSe / CdZnS, CdSeS / ZnSe / CdZnS, ZnSe / ZnSe / CdZnS, and ZnSeTe / ZnSe / CdZnS.

[0062] It should be noted that, for the core material of the core-shell structure quantum dot 201 or the shell material of the core-shell structure quantum dot 201, the chemical formula provided only indicates the element composition, but does not indicate the content of each element. For example, CdZnS only indicates that it is composed of three elements: Cd, Zn and S. If the content of each element is indicated, it corresponds to Cd x Zn 1-x S, 0 <x<1。

[0063] In some embodiments, the material of the light-emitting layer 20 of the device adopts quantum dot material with QY of 30% to 70%. Generally speaking, quantum dots 201 with low QY have low luminous efficiency, and the probability of effective carrier recombination and luminescence in them is low. Using them to prepare the light-emitting layer 20 is likely to lead to a decrease in the luminous efficiency of the device. When core-shell quantum dots adopt this type of quantum dot material and the light-emitting layer 20 is designed as a multilayer film, the present application further optimizes the device structure.

[0064] In some embodiments, the mobility of the material of the hole transport layer 50 is greater than or equal to 10×10 -3 cm 2 / Vs, and less than or equal to 100×10 -3 cm 2 / Vs, for example, 10×10 -3 cm 2 / Vs,12×10 -3 cm 2 / Vs,15×10 -3 cm 2 / Vs,18×10 - 3 cm 2 / Vs,20×10 -3 cm 2 / Vs,25×10 -3 cm 2 / Vs,30×10 -3 cm 2 / Vs,35×10 -3 cm 2 / Vs,40×10 -3 cm 2 / Vs,50×10 -3 cm 2 / Vs,60×10 -3 cm 2 / Vs,70×10 -3 cm 2 / Vs,80×10 -3 cm 2 / Vs、90×10 -3 cm 2 / Vs,100×10 -3 cm 2 / Vs and values ​​between any two of the above values. The technical solution provided by the present application, when the material used in the light-emitting layer 20 is a low-QY quantum dot 201, and the light-emitting layer 20 is a multilayer film constructed of three or more layers of quantum dots 201, the hole mobility of the matching material is 10×10 -3 ~100×10 -3 cm 2 / Vs hole transport layer 50 helps to enhance hole injection, overcome the problem of large tunneling barrier in multilayer films and low probability of effective recombination luminescence of low QY quantum dots 201, improve the effective injection and efficient recombination of carriers in the device, and improve the injection balance of holes and electrons, thereby avoiding the light-emitting layer 20 from being charged and inducing Auger recombination, which in turn affects the life and efficiency of the device.

[0065] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the mobility of the material of the hole transport layer 50 is 15×10 -3 ~40×10 -3 cm 2 / Vs, which helps to further improve the carrier balance.

[0066] In some embodiments, the absolute value of the energy level difference between the hole transport layer 50 and the light emitting layer 20 is 0.1 to 1.6 eV, for example, 0.1 eV, 0.3 eV, 0.5 eV, 0.7 eV, 0.9 eV, 1.0 eV, 1.1 eV, 1.3 eV, 1.5 eV, 1.6 eV, and values ​​between any two of the above values. Within this energy level difference range, the hole injection barrier can be reduced, which helps to further enhance hole injection.

[0067] In some embodiments, the HOMO energy level of the material of the hole transport layer 50 is -5eV to -6eV; for example, -5eV, -5.2eV, -5.3eV, -5.4eV, -5.5eV, -5.6eV, -5.7eV, -5.8eV, -5.9eV, -6eV and values ​​between any two of the above values.

[0068] Specifically, in some embodiments, the material of the hole transport layer 50 includes any one of T5DP2,7 and TBPyS.

[0069] T5DP2,7 is derived from the literature “Constructing Effective Hole Transport Channels in Cross-Linked Hole Transport Layer by Stacking Discotic Molecules for High Performance Deep Blue QLEDs”. Its structure is shown in formula (I). Its HOMO energy level is -5.3 eV. Its hole mobility is 2.6×10 -2 cm 2 / Vs.

[0070] TBPyS is derived from the literature "Benzopyrazine-fused tetracene derivatives: Thin-film formation at the crystalline mesophase for solution-processed hole transporting devices". The structural formula is shown in formula (II), where R is a normal alkyl chain with 8 carbon atoms, i.e. -C8H 17 ; HOMO energy level is -5.18eV; hole mobility is 1.7×10 -2 cm 2 / Vs.

[0071]

[0072] In some embodiments, the material of the light-emitting layer 20 of the device is a quantum dot material with a QY of 30% to 70%. When the core-shell quantum dots are made of such quantum dot materials, and the light-emitting layer 20 and the hole transport layer 50 are designed as described above, the defect of low effective recombination probability of the core-shell quantum dots themselves can be compensated, and the matching is better for the entire device. The technical solution of the present application realizes the effective application of low QY quantum dots 201, thereby reducing the high requirements of the device on the performance of the quantum dot 201 material, and is conducive to the promotion and application of the quantum dot 201 material.

In actual operation, the preparation can be made with reference to the method for regulating the mobility of the electron transport layer 40 material commonly used in the art. Taking the method of regulating the amount of alkali source added to control the electron mobility as an example, in some embodiments, the electron transport layer 40 material is ZnO.

[0101] The technical scheme and technical effects of the present application are described in detail below through specific embodiments and comparative examples. The following embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application and do not specifically limit the present application.

[0102] Example 1

[0103] This example aims to investigate the effect of the number of quantum dot layers on device performance

[0104] Experimental Group 1

[0105] The structure of the QLED device in this experimental group is: anode, hole injection layer, hole transport layer, light-emitting layer, electron transport layer and cathode stacked from bottom to top. The thickness of each layer is: anode 100nm

[0106] , hole injection layer 110nm, hole transport layer 110nm, light emitting layer 20nm, electron transport layer 80nm, cathode 90nm.

[0112] (6) Placing the substrate obtained in step (5) in a vapor deposition chamber, vapor-depositing Ag on the electron transport layer to obtain a cathode, and encapsulating to obtain a QLED device.

[0113] Control group 1

[0114] The scheme of control group 1 is basically the same as that of experimental group 1, except that in this control group, the luminescent layer is a single-layer film, and accordingly, in step (4), the average particle size of the quantum dot material is 12 nm, and the QY is 50%; during spin coating, the spin coating speed is controlled to be 2000 rpm, the time is 30 s, and the concentration of the quantum dot material in the n-octane solution of the quantum dot material is 10 mg / ml, so as to control the luminescent layer to be a single-layer film. The other steps and parameters are the same as those of experimental group 1.

[0115] Control group 2

[0116] The control group 2 scheme is basically the same as the experimental group 1, except that in this control group, the light-emitting layer is a double-layer film, and accordingly, in step (4), the average particle size of the quantum dot material is 10nm, and the QY is 50%; during spin coating, the spin coating speed is controlled to be 3000rpm, the time is 30s, and the concentration of the quantum dot material in the n-octane solution of the quantum dot material is 17mg / ml, so as to control the light-emitting layer to be a double-layer film. The other steps and parameters are the same as those of the experimental group 1.

[0117] (i) Take the semi-finished device obtained in step (4) during the preparation of experimental group 1, control group 1 and control group 2, wherein the top layer of the semi-finished device is the light-emitting layer. The roughness of the light-emitting layer is examined by AFM to evaluate its film-forming effect, and the results are recorded in Table 1.

[0118] (ii) Prepare the corresponding single carrier devices of experimental group 1, control group 1 and control group 2 respectively, and test the current density-voltage curve of the single carrier transport thin film device (HOD / EOD). Take the current density of the device at 8V for comparison. Among them:

[0119] The preparation method of the single electron device (EOD) is basically the same as the preparation method of its corresponding complete QLED device, the only difference is that the hole injection layer and the hole transport layer are subtracted.

[0120] The preparation method of the single hole device (HOD) is basically the same as the preparation method of its corresponding complete QLED device, the only difference is that the electron transport layer is subtracted.

[0121] The results are recorded in Table 1.

[0122] (III) Take the devices made in experimental group 1, control group 1 and control group 2, and place the devices under 120°C for 15 minutes for heat treatment to accelerate the forward aging of the devices. Then, perform subsequent performance tests on the devices after the heat treatment, and record the results in Table 1. The detection method is as follows:

[0123] (1) The detection method of external quantum efficiency EQE is: the ratio of the number of electron-hole pairs injected into quantum dots to the number of emitted photons, the unit is %, which is an important parameter to measure the quality of electrophotoelectric devices and can be obtained by using EQE optical testing instruments. The specific calculation formula is as follows:

[0124]

[0125] Among them, η e is the light output coupling efficiency, η γ is the ratio of the number of recombined carriers to the number of injected carriers, x is the ratio of the number of excitons that generate photons to the total number of excitons, K Ris the radiation process rate, K NR is the rate of the non-radiative process.

[0126] Test conditions: carried out at room temperature, air humidity is 30-60%.

[0127] (2) The test method for life T95@1000nit is:

[0128] The time required for the device to reduce its brightness to a certain percentage of the maximum brightness when driven by a constant current or voltage. The time it takes for the brightness to drop to 95% of the maximum brightness is defined as T95, and this life is the measured life. In order to shorten the test cycle, the device life test is usually carried out at high brightness by accelerating device aging, and the life under high brightness is obtained by fitting the extended exponential decay brightness attenuation fitting formula. For example, the life under 1000nit is calculated as T95@1000nit. The specific calculation formula is as follows:

[0129]

[0130] Among them, T95L is the lifespan at low brightness, T95H is the measured lifespan at high brightness, LH is the device accelerated to the maximum brightness, LL is 1000nit, and A is the acceleration factor. This experiment measured the lifespan of several groups of blue QLED devices at rated brightness and obtained an A value of 1.7.

[0131] Table 1

[0132]

[0133]

[0134] It can be seen from the above table:

[0135] The film quality of control groups 1 and 2 is poor, as shown by the large leakage current of EOD devices and HOD devices, while experimental group 1 has a smaller roughness, indicating that its film formation effect is the best. At the same time, experimental group 1 has the highest EQE and T95@1000nit, and its HOD device and EOD device have not only a large current density at 8V, but also a relatively close current density, indicating that for the device with the following combination design: QY is 30% to 70%, the first shell is ZnSe, and the second shell is CdZnS quantum dots, meet the "HOMO energy level is -5eV to -6eV, the mobility is 10×10 -3 ~100×10 -3 cm 2 / Vs" and hole transport materials that meet the "mobility of 0.05×10 -3 ~0.2×10 -3 cm 2 / Vs" electron transport material; when other film conditions remain unchanged and other parameters of the quantum dot material remain unchanged, compared with the single-layer or double-layer film, the multilayer film light-emitting layer has a more balanced carrier injection and exhibits a significantly longer service life. This shows that the multilayer film is more compatible with the above-mentioned matching design, which helps to significantly improve the life of the device while ensuring the luminous efficiency.

[0136] Example 2

[0137] This example aims to investigate the effect of the quantum dot shell structure on device performance.

[0138] The schemes of control groups 3 to 6 are basically the same as those of experimental group 1, with the only difference being that in each control group, the quantum dot material used in the light-emitting layer is changed to the material listed in Table 2 below.

[0139] Performance tests were performed on experimental group 1 and control groups 3 to 6, and the results are recorded in Table 2.

[0140] Table 2

[0141]

[0142]

[0143] It can be seen from the above table that for devices with the same hole transport layer and electron transport layer design, when the shell structure of the light-emitting layer material is changed from ZnSe / CdZnS to other shell structures, the device life is greatly reduced. This shows that compared with other wide-bandgap shell materials, when the first shell is ZnSe and the second shell is CdZnS, holes can be better injected into the shell for effective recombination, which is manifested as higher EQE and longer device life.

[0144] Example 3

[0145] This example aims to investigate the effect of the size of the quantum dots QY on the device performance.

[0146] This embodiment also sets up experimental group 2, experimental group 3, control group 7 and control group 8. Among them:

[0147] The experimental or control group scheme is basically the same as that of experimental group 1, except that the Cd content of the CdZnS shell in control group 7 is doubled, and the Cd content of the CdZnS shell in control group 8 is half increased. In each experimental or control group, the quantum dot material used in the light-emitting layer is changed to the material with QY defined in Table 3 below.

[0148] Performance tests were performed on experimental groups 1-3 and control groups 7-8, and the results are recorded in Table 3.

[0149] Table 3

[0150]

[0151] As can be seen from the table above, for devices with the same hole transport layer and electron transport layer design, when the luminescent layer material is changed from a material with a QY of 30% to 70% to a material with a QY greater than 70% or less than 30%, the device life and luminous efficiency are greatly reduced. It can be seen that compared with quantum dot materials with high or low QY, the material with a QY of 30% to 70% and the material shell structure of ZnSe / CdZnS, a four-layer film design of the luminescent layer, "HOMO energy level of -5eV to -6eV, and mobility of 10×10 -3 ~100×10 -3 cm 2 / Vs" and hole transport materials that meet the "mobility of 0.05×10 -3 ~0.2×10 -3 cm 2 / Vs” has a better match with the electron transport material. Under this condition, the EQE and life of the device are higher.

[0152] Example 4

[0153] This example aims to investigate the effect of the HOMO energy level of the hole transport material on the device performance.

[0154] This embodiment also sets up an experimental group 4 and a control group 9. Among them:

[0155] The experimental group scheme is basically the same as the experimental group 1, except that in each experimental group, the hole transport material used in the hole transport layer is changed to the material in the following Table 4. The control group 9 scheme is basically the same as the experimental group 1, except that the hole transport layer is omitted in the control group 9.

[0156] Performance tests were performed on experimental groups 1 and 4 and control group 9, and the results are recorded in Table 4.

[0157] Table 4

[0158]

[0159] It can be seen from the above table that compared with the control group 9, the experimental groups 1 and 4 have significantly higher EQE and lifetime, and among them, the effect of the experimental group 1 is the best. Obviously, when other device parameters remain unchanged, the use of hole transport materials with an energy level difference of 0.1 to 1.6 eV with the light-emitting layer is more conducive to improving hole injection, and the smaller the energy level difference between the light-emitting layer and the hole transport material, the higher the hole injection, which is manifested as better device performance.

[0160] Example 5

[0161] This example aims to investigate the effect of the mobility of the hole transport material on the device performance.

[0162] This embodiment also sets up an experimental group 5 and control groups 10 to 12. Among them:

[0163] The experimental group or control group scheme is basically the same as that of experimental group 1, except that in each experimental group or control group, the hole transport material used in the hole transport layer is changed to the material in Table 5 below.

[0164] Performance tests were performed on experimental groups 1 and 5 and control groups 10 to 12, and the results are recorded in Table 5.

[0166]

[0167] It can be seen from the above table:

[0168] Compared with the control group, the experimental group showed higher luminous efficiency and lifespan, indicating that compared with the three materials provided by the control group, the materials provided by the experimental group are more compatible with the device provided in this embodiment. Obviously, for the preparation of the four-layer film luminescent layer using QY30-70% quantum dots with a shell layer of ZnSe / CdZnS, and the material with an electron mobility of 0.05×10 -3 ~0.2×10 -3 cm 2 / Vs for the device with electron transport layer, the hole mobility of the hole transport material used is 10×10 -3 ~100×10 -3 cm 2 / Vs, the carrier balance in the device is better, which helps to significantly improve the efficiency of the device.

[0172] The control group scheme is basically the same as the experimental group 1, the only difference is that in each control group, the electron transport material used in the electron transport layer is changed to the material in the following Table 6.

[0173] The mobility is 0.01×10 -3The preparation method of ZnMgO is as follows: weigh 0.9mmol Zn(Ac)2·2H2O, 0.1mmol Mg(Ac)2·4H2O and 10ml DMSO into a three-necked flask, and then stir at 25°C until completely dissolved to obtain a first solution; dissolve 1.5mmol tetramethylammonium hydroxide in 10ml ethanol to obtain a second solution; then slowly drop the second solution into the first solution; after the reaction is completed, add ethyl acetate to precipitate, centrifuge, and discard the supernatant; add anhydrous ethanol to dissolve, and then add ethyl acetate to precipitate and centrifuge. Repeat the above steps twice to obtain ZnMgO nanoparticles.

Repeat the above steps twice to obtain an electron mobility of 5×10 -3 cm 2 / Vs of ZnO nanoparticles.

[0175] The mobility is 0.3×10 -3 The preparation method of ZnO is as follows: compared with the mobility of 5×10 -3 The only difference is that the molar ratio of Zn(Ac)2·2H2O to tetramethylammonium hydroxide is 1:1.3; the other parameters and steps are the same.
