Here, we develop hybrid highly spectrally pure QLEDs that facilitate energy transfer pumping via NRET from a phosphorescent small organic molecule-codoped charge transport layer to the adjacent QDs. A partially codoped exciton funnelling electron transport layer is proposed and optimized for enhanced QLED performance while exhibiting very high color purity of 99%. These energy transfer pumped hybrid QLEDs demonstrate a 6-fold enhancement factor in the external quantum efficiency over the conventional QLED structure, in which energy transfer pumping is intrinsically weak.EnglishElectroluminescenceExcitonsLight emissionLight emitting diodesMoleculesOptoelectronic devicesPhosphorescenceSemiconductor quantum dotsColloidal quantum dotsHybrid light-emitting diodesNonradiative energy transferPhosphorescent moleculesTriplet stateEnergy transferArticle10.1021/jz50126691948-7185
