In the electroluminescent device, electrons and holes are injected into the light-emitting layer to illuminate under an applied electric field. Spin coating is currently the primary method for forming quantum dot luminescent layer films. However, spin coating techniques are difficult to apply to the fabrication of large area electroluminescent devices. In contrast, inkjet printing can produce quantum dot films on a large scale and low cost; compared with traditional semiconductor production processes, inkjet printing has low energy consumption, low water consumption, and environmental protection, which is a great advantage and potential for production. technology. Viscosity and surface tension are important parameters that affect the printing ink and printing process. A promising printing ink needs to have the proper viscosity and surface tension. At present, several companies have reported quantum dot inks for printing:
英国纳米技术有限公司(Nanoco Technologies Ltd)公开了一种包含纳米粒子的可印刷的油墨制剂的方法(CN101878535B)。通过选用合适的墨基材,比如甲苯和十二烷硒醇,得到了可印刷的纳米粒子油墨及相应的包含纳米粒子的薄膜。Nanoco Technologies Ltd. discloses a method of printing a printable ink formulation comprising nanoparticles (CN101878535B). By selecting a suitable ink substrate, such as toluene and dodecyl selenol, a printable nanoparticle ink and a corresponding nanoparticle-containing film are obtained.
三星(Samsung Electronics)公开了一种用于喷墨打印的量子点油墨(US8765014B2)。这种油墨包含一定浓度的量子点材料、有机溶剂和具有高粘度的醇类聚合物添加剂。通过打印该油墨得到了量子点薄膜,并制备了量子点电致发光器件。Samsung Electronics discloses a quantum dot ink for inkjet printing (US8765014B2). The ink contains a concentration of quantum dot material, an organic solvent, and an alcohol polymer additive having a high viscosity. A quantum dot film was obtained by printing the ink, and a quantum dot electroluminescent device was prepared.
QD视光(QD Vision,Inc.)公开了一种量子点的油墨制剂,包含一种主体材料、一种量子点材料和一种添加剂(US2010264371A1)。QD Vision (Ind.) discloses a quantum dot ink formulation comprising a host material, a quantum dot material and an additive (US2010264371A1).
其它的涉及量子点印刷油墨的专利有:US2008277626A1,US2015079720A1,US2015075397A1,TW201340370A,US2007225402A1,US2008169753A1,US2010265307A1,US2015101665A1,WO2008105792A2。Other patents relating to quantum dot printing inks are: US2008277626A1, US2015079720A1, US2015075397A1, TW201340370A, US2007225402A1, US2008169753A1, US2010265307A1, US2015101665A1, WO2008105792A2.
但是,在这些已公开的专利中,为了调控油墨的物理参数,这些量子点油墨都包含有其它的添加剂,如醇类聚合物。具有绝缘性质的聚合物添加剂的引入往往会降低薄膜的电荷传输能力,对器件的光电性能具有负面影响,限制了其在光电器件中的广泛应用。因此,寻找 到一种具有适当的表面张力和粘度的用于分散量子点的有机溶剂体系显得尤为重要。However, in these published patents, in order to regulate the physical parameters of the ink, these quantum dot inks contain other additives such as alcohol polymers. The introduction of polymer additives with insulating properties tends to reduce the charge transport capability of the film, which has a negative impact on the photoelectric performance of the device, and limits its wide application in optoelectronic devices. So looking for It is particularly important to have an organic solvent system for dispersing quantum dots with appropriate surface tension and viscosity.
此外,在喷墨打印干燥成膜的过程中,经常性的伴随有“咖啡环效应”,即溶质材料容易向液滴边缘沉积,造成干燥后的薄膜出现边缘厚中心薄的形貌。这是因为在干燥过程中,溶剂主要从液滴边缘开始挥发,溶液体积变化则主要发生在液滴中心,继而导致溶液由中心向边缘流动。由此得到的厚度不均匀的薄膜对光电器件的进一步加工和器件性能都是十分不利的。这种不利的“咖啡环效应”在无机纳米粒子印刷成膜中同样存在。因此,寻求一种合适的溶剂体系,降低喷墨打印薄膜的“咖啡环效应”,对改善薄膜的均匀性及器件的性能都显得尤为重要。In addition, in the process of inkjet printing drying into a film, it is often accompanied by a "coffee ring effect", that is, the solute material is easily deposited on the edge of the droplet, resulting in a thin film having a thick center at the edge of the dried film. This is because during the drying process, the solvent mainly evaporates from the edge of the droplet, and the volume change of the solution mainly occurs at the center of the droplet, which in turn causes the solution to flow from the center to the edge. The thus obtained film having a non-uniform thickness is extremely disadvantageous for further processing of the photovoltaic device and device performance. This unfavorable "coffee ring effect" also exists in the inorganic nanoparticle printing film formation. Therefore, the search for a suitable solvent system to reduce the "coffee ring effect" of inkjet printed films is particularly important for improving the uniformity of the film and the performance of the device.
