Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Metal halide perovskite light-emitting diodes suffer from short electric driving lifetime due to ion migration and high defect density in their weak ionic crystal structure, leading to reduced luminous efficiency and stability, especially when exposed to electric fields.
Innovation Solution
A perovskite film with a 3D/2D core-shell crystal structure is developed, where a three-dimensional perovskite core is surrounded by a self-assembled two-dimensional shell formed through a proton transfer reaction using phenylalkanamine compounds, enhancing stability and luminescence efficiency by suppressing ion movement and surface defects.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If metal halide perovskite is used as light emitting material, then color purity and photoluminescence quantum efficiency are improved, but electric driving lifetime is reduced due to ion migration and high defect density
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a composite material strategy by combining metal halide perovskite with organic-inorganic hybrid materials to form a light emitting layer. This composite structure leverages the high color purity and photoluminescence quantum efficiency of perovskite while incorporating stabilizing organic components that reduce ion migration and defect density, thereby extending electric driving lifetime without sacrificing optical performance
Solution Approach 2:
The patent modifies the chemical composition and structural parameters of the perovskite crystal lattice by substituting certain metal ions or halide ions with alternative elements. This parameter change adjusts the band gap and reduces defect formation energy, leading to improved color purity and enhanced stability against ion migration, thus resolving the contradiction between high performance and long lifetime
2Use of energy by moving object
If metal halide perovskite is used as light emitting material, then photoluminescence quantum efficiency is improved, but luminous efficiency decreases due to high defect density
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality improvement by selectively passivating defect sites within the perovskite crystal structure using surface treatment or interface engineering. By targeting specific high-defect regions such as grain boundaries or surface terminations with passivation layers or molecular modifiers, the patent reduces non-radiative recombination centers locally, thereby converting trapped energy into useful light emission and improving overall luminous efficiency while maintaining high photoluminescence quantum efficiency
3Illumination intensity
If inorganic quantum dot emitters are used, then color purity is improved, but manufacturing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent adopts a cost-effective material substitution strategy by replacing expensive inorganic quantum dots with organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite materials that can be synthesized through low-cost solution processing methods. Although perovskite materials have shorter intrinsic stability, the patent compensates through device engineering and encapsulation, achieving acceptable lifetime at a fraction of the manufacturing cost of quantum dot LEDs
4Ease of manufacture
If organic light emitters are used, then manufacturing cost is reduced, but color purity deteriorates due to wide emission spectrum
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a composite light emitting material that combines organic components (for low cost and ease of processing) with inorganic metal halide perovskite components (for narrow emission spectrum and high color purity). The organic-inorganic hybrid structure allows the organic matrix to provide cost-effective solution processing while the perovskite crystalline domains maintain narrow photoluminescence emission, achieving both economic viability and high color purity

AI summary
Provided are metal halide perovskite light emitting device and method of manufacturing the same. The metal halide perovskite light emitting device uses perovskite film having a multi-dimensional crystal structure derived from a proton transfer reaction as light emitting layer. Due to self-assembled shell of the perovskite film, ion movement is suppressed and surface defects are removed. Thereby, photoluminescence intensity, luminescence efficiency and lifetime are improved. By injecting a fluorine-based material and a basic material into the PEDOT:PSS conductive polymer used as the conventional hole injection layer, the acidity is controlled and the work function of the interface is improved. Furthermore, chemically stable graphene barrier layer protects the electrode vulnerable to acid, so that a high-efficiency light emitting device can be manufactured.
