An efficient flexible graphene-based light-emitting device

Abstract

In recent years, flexible light-emitting devices (LEDs) have become the main focus in the field of display technology. Graphene, a two-dimensional layered material, has attracted great interest in LEDs due to its excellent properties. However, there are many problems such as efficiency, lifetime, and flexibility not well solved. Herein, we have successfully prepared a flexible LED using laser-induced reduced graphene oxide (LIRGO). The LIRGO LED achieves a luminescence lifetime of over 60 hours and a wall plug efficiency of up to 1.4% in a vacuum environment of 0.02 Pa. There are many small luminescent spots randomly distributed on 3.5 Â 5 mm 2 of LIRGO. LIRGO's luminous behavior can be controlled by modifying the supply voltage and laser reduction intensity. We also explore LIRGO's applications by testing it in different packages and customizable bulbs. Furthermore, as an interesting demo, the LIRGO device can be used to mimic constellations with visual shapes. This work demonstrates LIRGO's great potential in many fields, such as flexible and miniature light sources and displays. Fig. 6 Packaging and applications of LIRGO.

A Review on Graphene-Based Light Emitting Functional Devices

“…The development and manufacturing of OLEDs carried out in recent years are still facing drawbacks [ 24 ]; for example, the panel fabrication at high-temperature conditions and to incorporate flexible substrate PET (polyethylene terephthalate). ITO-based electrodes are too stiff for the development of flexible OLEDs [ 25 ]. The graphene is also considered an alternative material to ITO due to excellent electrical conductively, transparency, and chemical and thermal stability [ 26 ].…”

Giant Broadband (450–2300 nm) Optical Limiting and Enhancement of the Nonlinear Optical Response of Some Graphenes by Defect Engineering

“…The discovery of graphene, one of the most important advancements in the field of nanomaterials and the current nanotechnology, has triggered an immense interest in many scientific disciplines over the past few years. This interest arises because of the superior electronic and transport properties, − mechanical robustness, and remarkably optoelectronic behavior of graphene. − Owing to these unique features, graphene holds great promises for several applications, including optical limiters, ultrafast lasers, , light-emitting devices, optical sensors, solar cells, spintronics, transistors, and so forth. However, the absence of a discernible bandgap limits the practical applications of pristine graphene on a wide scale, specifically in optoelectronics and photonics.…”

Deep neural network analysis of nanoparticle ordering to identify defects in layered carbon materials

“…Assessment of the surfaces of layered materials and revealing defect areas is a question of key importance since the performance of the materials strongly depends on the absence/presence of defects. High-quality defect-free surfaces are important for a number of industrial applications, such as electronics, 1 LEDs, 17 composites, 18 and materials with high mechanical strength. 19 ( Fig.…”
