Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If inorganic quantum dots are used to achieve high color purity, then color purity is improved, but quantum dot size control becomes difficult and hole injection is hindered due to deep valence band
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the material composition parameters by using organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite materials with specific halide compositions (Cl, Br, I) and organic cations (MA, FA, OA) to achieve high color purity while maintaining manufacturability. The bandgap is tuned by adjusting the halide ratio and organic cation type, allowing color control without relying solely on size control
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs composite organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite materials that combine the advantages of both organic and inorganic materials. The hybrid structure provides high color purity similar to inorganic quantum dots while maintaining easier synthesis and better charge transport properties, resolving the contradiction between color purity and manufacturing control
2Illumination intensity
If inorganic quantum dots are used to achieve high color purity, then color purity is improved, but hole injection becomes difficult due to very deep valence band
Solution Approach 1:
The patent modifies the valence band position by changing from pure inorganic quantum dots to organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites. The organic cation components raise the valence band maximum, reducing the energy barrier for hole injection from the organic hole injection layer while maintaining the high color purity through quantum confinement effects
Solution Approach 2:
The hybrid perovskite composite structure provides intermediate electronic properties between pure organic and pure inorganic materials, achieving both high color purity and improved hole injection efficiency by optimizing the organic-inorganic interface and composition
3Power
If organic light-emitting bodies are used to achieve high efficiency, then emission efficiency is improved, but color purity is reduced due to broad spectrum emission
Solution Approach 1:
The patent achieves narrow emission spectra (FWHM ≈ 20 nm) by utilizing the quantum confinement effect in perovskite nanocrystals and the exciton confinement in the inorganic layer. This parameter change in emission spectrum width allows simultaneous achievement of high emission efficiency and high color purity, resolving the contradiction with conventional organic LEDs
4Illumination intensity
If perovskite nanocrystals are used to achieve high color purity, then color purity is improved, but exciton annihilation and thermal ionization occur reducing stability
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a core-shell structure where perovskite nanocrystals are nested within a protective shell matrix. The shell confines the excitons within the core nanocrystal, preventing exciton diffusion and annihilation, while also providing thermal stability and preventing ionization, thus maintaining high color purity with improved reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The shell structure provides beforehand protection against exciton annihilation and thermal ionization by creating a confined environment that stabilizes excitons before they can undergo harmful processes, ensuring stable high-color-purity emission

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The core-shell structure improves emission efficiency and durability by preventing exciton annihilation and thermal ionization, allowing high color purity and stability at room temperature.
Implementation Method 1
due to a large difference in dielectric constant between the inorganic material and the organic material (εorganic≈2.4, εinorganic≈6.1), excitons are confined in the inorganic layer
Implementation Method 2
The core-shell structure improves emission efficiency and durability by preventing exciton annihilation and thermal ionization

AI summary
Provided are a core-shell structured perovskite nanocrystalline particle light-emitting body, a method of preparing the same, and a light emitting device using the same. The core-shell structured organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite nanocrystalline particle light-emitting body or metal halide perovskite nanocrystalline particle light-emitting body is able to be dispersed in an organic solvent, and has a perovskite nanocrystal structure and a core-shell structured nanocrystalline particle structure. Therefore, in the perovskite nanocrystalline particle light-emitting body of the present inventive concept, as a shell is formed of a substance having a wider band gap than that of a core, excitons may be more dominantly confined in the core, and durability of the nanocrystal may be improved to prevent exposure of the core perovskite to the air using a perovskite or inorganic semiconductor, which is stable in the air, or an organic polymer.
