Solution Overview

Problem

Existing perovskite light-emitting diode devices suffer from poor film-forming properties and pinholes during the film-forming process, leading to higher leakage current and lower current efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A fabricating method for perovskite light-emitting diodes involves doping a polymer material into the perovskite material, specifically using a combination of organometallic and inorganic perovskite materials with polyimide as the polymer, to enhance film-forming properties and reduce pinholes, thereby improving luminescence and light-emitting performance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If perovskite material is used to fabricate light-emitting diode, then luminescent properties and cost-effectiveness are improved, but film-forming properties deteriorate and pinholes form during the film-forming process

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveluminescent propertiesVSAvoidfilm-forming properties
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a polymer material as an intermediary component mixed with the perovskite material. This polymer acts as a binder that improves the film-forming properties and reduces pinhole formation, while the perovskite maintains its luminescent function. The composite structure allows both the perovskite's optical properties and the polymer's film-forming capabilities to work together.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite material by combining perovskite particles with a polymer matrix. This composite approach allows the perovskite to provide luminescent properties while the polymer provides cohesive film-forming properties, eliminating the pinhole issues associated with pure perovskite films.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Ease of manufacture

If perovskite material is used to fabricate light-emitting diode, then cost is reduced, but leakage current increases due to pinholes

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovecostVSAvoidleakage current
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The polymer material serves as an intermediary that fills the gaps and pinholes in the perovskite film structure. This eliminates the direct pathways for leakage current while maintaining the low-cost advantage of using perovskite materials, as the polymer addition is minimal and does not significantly increase manufacturing cost.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Use of energy by moving object

If perovskite material is used to fabricate light-emitting diode, then optical absorption coefficient is improved, but current efficiency decreases due to pinholes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoptical absorption coefficientVSAvoidcurrent efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The composite structure of perovskite particles embedded in a polymer matrix maintains the high optical absorption coefficient of the perovskite while the polymer matrix provides a continuous phase that prevents pinhole formation. This eliminates energy loss pathways through pinholes, thereby improving current efficiency while preserving optical absorption properties.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

AI summary

The disclosure provides a perovskite light-emitting diode (LED). A perovskite light-emitting layer is fabricated by doping a suitable polymer material into the perovskite material. On one hand, the film-forming property of the perovskite material can be enhanced, and the pinholes in perovskite light-emitting layer are reduced and then the luminescence of perovskite LED can be enhanced; on the other hand, the physical properties of the inkjet ink of the perovskite light-emitting layer can be effectively adjusted to meet the needs of the inkjet printing process and to enhance the ink-jet printing effect of the perovskite light-emitting layer. The perovskite light-emitting layer has good film-forming effect and basically no pinhole. Therefore, the perovskite LED has a better light-emitting performance.
