[0003] Among light-emitting devices, self-emissive devices (e.g., organic light-emitting devices, etc.) have a relatively wide viewing angle, high contrast, short response time, and excellent or suitable characteristics in terms of luminance, driving voltage, and response speed, compared to other light-emitting devices that are not self-emissive.
[0004] A light-emitting device can include a first electrode, a hole transport region, an emission layer, an electron transport region, and a second electrode arranged sequentially. Holes injected from the first electrode can move toward the emission layer through the hole transport region. Electrons injected from the second electrode can move toward the emission layer through the electron transport region. These charge carriers (i.e., holes and electrons) recombine in the emission layer to generate excitons. When the excitons transition from an excited state and decay to a ground state, light can be generated. SUMMARY

[0040] Referring now to one or more embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same reference numerals refer to the same elements throughout the disclosure, and repeated descriptions are omitted for brevity. In this respect, the presented embodiments may have different forms and should not be construed as limited to the description set forth herein. Therefore, embodiments of this disclosure are described only with reference to the accompanying drawings to explain aspects of this disclosure. As used herein, the terms “and / or” or “or” can include any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. Throughout the disclosure, when expressions such as “at least one of…”, “one of…”, and “selected from…” precede / follow a list of elements, they modify the entire list of elements, not the individual elements within that list. For example, “at least one of a, b and c”, “at least one of a, b and c” and / or “at least one of a to c” can mean only a, only b, only c, (e.g., both a and b), (e.g., both a and c), (e.g., both b and c), all of a, b and c or variations thereof.

[0343]
[0344] quantum dots
[0345] In one or more embodiments, the emitter layer 130 may include quantum dots.
[0346] As used herein, the term "quantum dot" refers to a crystal of a semiconductor compound. Quantum dots can emit light at one or more suitable wavelengths depending on the size of the crystal. The emission of one or more suitable wavelengths can be achieved by further adjusting the ratio of the elements constituting the quantum dot.
[0347] The diameter of quantum dots can range, for example, from about 1 nanometer (nm) to about 10 nm. In this disclosure, when the quantum dot or quantum dot particle is spherical, "diameter" refers to the particle size or average particle size, and when the particle is non-spherical, "diameter" refers to the major axis length or average major axis length. The diameter of the particles can be measured using a scanning electron microscope or a particle size analyzer. For example, a HORIBA LA-950 laser particle size analyzer can be used. When measuring the size of particles using a particle size analyzer, the average particle size is referred to as D50. D50 refers to the average diameter of the particles whose cumulative volume corresponds to 50 vol% in a particle size distribution (e.g., a cumulative distribution), and refers to the value corresponding to 50% of the particle size starting from the smallest particle when the total number of particles is 100%, in a cumulative distribution curve accumulated in order from the smallest to the largest particle size.
[0348] Quantum dots can be synthesized through wet chemical processes, metal-organic chemical vapor deposition, molecular beam epitaxy, or any similar process.
[0349] Wet chemistry processes involve mixing quantum dot precursor materials with organic solvents and then growing quantum dot crystal particles. During quantum dot crystal growth, the organic solvent naturally acts as a dispersant coordinated on the surface of the quantum dot crystal particles and controls their growth. This allows for the control or selection of quantum dot crystal growth through a less expensive and easier process than vapor deposition methods such as metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) or molecular beam epitaxy (MBE).

[0357] Each element included in a multi-component compound (such as binary, ternary, and quaternary compounds) can exist in the particles at a substantially homogeneous or non-homogeneous concentration. For example, the formula above refers to the type (class) of elements included in the compound, where the ratio of elements in the compound can vary. For example, AgInGaS2 can represent AgIn x Ga 1-x S2 (where x is a real number between 0 and 1).
[0358] In one or more embodiments, the quantum dots may all have a single structure or a core-shell dual structure in which the concentration of each element in the quantum dots is substantially uniform. For example, the materials included in the core and the materials included in the shell may be different from each other.
[0359] The shell of a quantum dot can act as a protective layer to prevent chemical denaturation of the nucleus and maintain its semiconductor properties, and / or as a charged layer to impart electrophoretic properties to the quantum dot. The shell can be a single layer or multiple layers. In one or more embodiments, the interface between the nucleus and the shell can have a concentration gradient in which the concentration of elements present in the shell decreases toward the center of the nucleus.
[0360] Examples of shells for quantum dots can include oxides of metals or nonmetals, semiconductor compounds, or any combination thereof. Non-limiting examples of oxides of metals or nonmetals can include: binary compounds such as SiO2, Al2O3, TiO2, ZnO, MnO, Mn2O3, Mn3O4, CuO, FeO, Fe2O3, Fe3O4, CoO, Co3O4, and / or NiO; ternary compounds such as MgAl2O4, CoFe2O4, NiFe2O4, and / or CoMn2O4; or any combination thereof. Examples of semiconductor compounds as described herein can include: group III-VI semiconductor compounds; group II-VI semiconductor compounds; group III-V semiconductor compounds; group I-III-VI semiconductor compounds; group IV-VI semiconductor compounds; or any combination thereof.

[0361] Quantum dots can have a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of emission spectra less than or equal to about 45 nm, less than or equal to about 40 nm, or, for example, less than or equal to about 30 nm. When the FWHM of a quantum dot is within these ranges, the quantum dot can have improved color purity or improved color reproducibility. Additionally, because light emitted through a quantum dot is emitted in all directions, a wider viewing angle can be improved.
[0362] In addition, quantum dots can take the form of spherical nanoparticles, pyramidal nanoparticles, multi-armed nanoparticles, cubic nanoparticles, nanotubes, nanowires, nanofibers and / or nanoplates.
[0363] Because the band gap of a quantum dot can be controlled or selected by adjusting its size and / or the ratio of elements in the quantum dot compound, light of one or more suitable wavelengths can be obtained from the quantum dot-containing emitting layer 130. Therefore, by using the aforementioned quantum dots (either by using quantum dots of different sizes or by changing the ratio of elements in the quantum dot compound), a light-emitting device 10 emitting light of one or more suitable wavelengths can be realized. In one or more embodiments, the size of the quantum dots and / or the ratio of elements in the quantum dot compound can be controlled and selected to enable the quantum dots to emit red, green, and / or blue light. Additionally, quantum dots of suitable size can be configured to emit white light through a combination of one or more suitable colors of light.
