Description

Electroluminescent device and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of luminous display, and particularly relates to an electroluminescent device and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Because Quantum dots have the characteristics of adjustable size, narrow Light Emitting line width, high Light Emitting efficiency and the like, Quantum Dot Light Emitting diodes (QLEDs) using Quantum dots as Light Emitting layers become the next generation of display and solid state lighting Light sources with great potential. Quantum dot electroluminescence has advantages of good color purity, high luminescence quantum efficiency, fast response speed, and the like, and has attracted much attention in recent years. After years of research and development, the external quantum efficiency of the current highest red and green QLED is over or close to 20% from the publicly reported literature data, which indicates that the internal quantum efficiency of the red and green quantum dot light-emitting diode is actually close to the theoretical limit. However, the current electro-optic conversion efficiency of the blue quantum dot light emitting diode, which is one of the essential three primary colors for color display, is much lower than that of the red and green quantum dot light emitting diode, thereby limiting the application of the quantum dot light emitting diode in color display.
In addition, the service life of the quantum dot light-emitting diode devices with three colors of red, green and blue is also greatly different. From the publicly reported literature data, the initial luminance of the red quantum dot light emitting diode device is 100cd/m2Under working conditions, the half-brightness service life exceeds 10 ten thousand hours or even longer; however, the half-brightness life of green and blue quantum dot light emitting diode devices is far lower than that of red devices, especially quantum dot light emitting diode devices, and the half-life reported in public only reaches dozens to hundreds of hours, and there is a great difference from practical level.
Technologies based on organic light emitting materials, such as electroluminescent (OLED) materials and device structures, have been developed for almost thirty years, and compared with QLEDs, the performance of some organic electroluminescent materials is better than that of quantum dots, such as higher light emitting efficiency or longer lifetime. Therefore, the high-performance organic light-emitting material can be used for making up the performance defects of the quantum dots and the quantum dot light-emitting diode device.
The quantum dot electroluminescent and organic electroluminescent mixed light-emitting structure can give full play to the advantages of two different types of light-emitting, and the quantum dot electroluminescent and organic electroluminescent can adopt an inverted device structure. In order to be compatible with the solution processing technology and prevent the damage of the solvent to the lower layer in the subsequent manufacturing process of the luminescent layer and other functional layers, the electronic transmission layer at the bottom layer of the inverted device usually adopts oxide nanoparticles as the electronic transmission material, such as ZnO nanoparticles and ZnMgO nanoparticles. Such nanoparticles have poor film-forming interfaces and often require additional interface-modifying layers to improve the interfacial properties.
