An optimized top emitting (TE) electroluminescent quantum dot (ELQD) LED device design is achieved using Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) simulation by allowing the thicknesses for QD Emission layer (EML) and an adjacent hole transmission layer (HTL) layers to differ for R, G, and B subpixels. Optical extraction efficiencies for R, G, and B subpixels reach ∼15, ∼23, and ∼24 % resp., while small angular color shift is sustained. Angular characteristics of the device are very sensitive to the thickness variation of the individual material layers in the design, indicating the importance of thickness control in device fabrication process.
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.
