We fabricated a homogeneous thin film by blending a hole-transporting organic molecule having long alkyl chains, N,N′-bis(3-methylphenyl)-N,N′-bis(phenyl)-9,9-dioctylfluorene (DOFL-TPD), with InP/ZnSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) and used it as an emissive layer (EML) in a light-emitting diode (LED). The blended QD EML-based device exhibited an external quantum efficiency of 18.6% and a maximum luminance of 128 577 cd/m 2 . Additionally, its operational lifetime significantly increased in comparison to that of the control devices without DOFL-TPD. We found that the uniform distribution of DOFL-TPD in the blended QD EML without any phase separation facilitated hole injection into the EML and energy transfer to QDs. Moreover, it was newly discovered that the blended QD EML suppressed electron injection into the hole transport/injection layers, thereby preventing structural degradation of the device. The homogeneously blended QD layer with an efficient charge transport material shows a strong potential to develop efficient and stable optoelectronic devices with balanced charge density.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
