Item Open Access A bright cadmium-free, hybrid organic/quantum dot white light-emitting diode(American Institute of Physics, 2012-12-06) Yang, X.; Divayana, Y.; Zhao, D.; Swee Leck, K.; Lu, F.; Tiam Tan, S.; Putu Abiyasa, A.; Zhao Y.; Demir, Hilmi Volkan; Wei Sun, X.We report a bright cadmium-free, InP-based quantum dot light-emitting diode (QD-LED) with efficient green emission. A maximum brightness close to 700 cd/m2 together with a relatively low turn-on voltage of 4.5 V has been achieved. With the design of a loosely packed QD layer resulting in the direct contact of poly[N,N′-bis(4-butylphenyl)-N,N′-bis(phenyl) benzidine] (poly-TPD) and 2,2′,2″-(1,3,5-benzinetriyl)-tris(1- phenyl-1-H-benzimidazole) (TPBi) in the device, a ternary complementary white QD-LED consisting of blue component (poly-TPD), green component (QDs), and red component (exciplex formed at the interface between poly-TPD and TPBi) has been demonstrated. The resulting white QD-LED shows an excellent color rendering index of 95.Item Open Access Full Visible Range Covering InP/ZnS Nanocrystals with High Photometric Performance and Their Application to White Quantum Dot Light-Emitting Diodes(Wiley-VCH Verlag, 2012-04-30) Yang, X.; Zhao, D.; Leck K.S.; Tan S.T.; Tang, Y. X.; Zhao, J.; Demir, Hilmi Volkan; Sun, X. W.High-quality InP/ZnS core–shell nanocrystals with luminescence tunable over the entire visible spectrum have been achieved by a facile one-pot solvothermal method. These nanocrystals exhibit high quantum yields (above 60%), wide emission spectrum tunability and excellent photostability. The FWHM can be as narrow as 38 nm, which is close to that of CdSe nanocrystals. Also, making use of these nanocrystals, we further demonstrated a cadmium-free white QD-LED with a high color rendering index of 91. The high-performance of the resulting InP/ZnS NCs coupled with their low intrinsic toxicity may further promote industrial applications of these NC emitters.Item Open Access Quantum dot light-emitting diode with quantum dots inside the hole transporting layers(American Chemical Society, 2013) Leck K.S.; Divayana, Y.; Zhao, D.; Young, X.; Abiyasa, A. P.; Mutlugun, E.; Gao, Y.; Liu, S.; Tan S.T.; Sun, X. W.; Demir, Hilmi VolkanWe report a hybrid, quantum dot (QD)-based, organic light-emitting diode architecture using a noninverted structure with the QDs sandwiched between hole transporting layers (HTLs) outperforming the reference device structure implemented in conventional noninverted architecture by over five folds and suppressing the blue emission that is otherwise observed in the conventional structure because of the excess electrons leaking towards the HTL. It is predicted in the new device structure that 97.44% of the exciton formation takes place in the QD layer, while 2.56% of the excitons form in the HTL. It is found that the enhancement in the external quantum efficiency is mainly due to the stronger confinement of exciton formation to the QDs.Item Open Access Singlet and Triplet Exciton Harvesting in the Thin Films of Colloidal Quantum Dots Interfacing Phosphorescent Small Organic Molecules(American Chemical Society, 2014) Guzelturk, B.; Hernandez Martinez P.L.; Zhao, D.; Sun X.W.; Demir, Hilmi VolkanEfficient nonradiative energy transfer is reported in an inorganic/organic thin film that consists of a CdSe/ZnS core/shell colloidal quantum dot (QD) layer interfaced with a phosphorescent small organic molecule (FIrpic) codoped fluorescent host (TCTA) layer. The nonradiative energy transfer in these thin films is revealed to have a cascaded energy transfer nature: first from the fluorescent host TCTA to phosphorescent FIrpic and then to QDs. The nonradiative energy transfer in these films enables very efficient singlet and triplet state harvesting by the QDs with a concomitant fluorescence enhancement factor up to 2.5-fold, while overall nonradiative energy transfer efficiency is as high as 95%. The experimental results are successfully supported by the theoretical energy transfer model developed here, which considers exciton diffusion assisted Förster-type near-field dipole-dipole coupling within the hybrid films. © 2014 American Chemical Society.
