  • Publication number: 20250098477
    Abstract: A light-emitting device includes at least one light-emitting region. The at least one light-emitting region includes: a lower electrode in plan view; an upper electrode provided across from at least one lower electrode including the lower electrode; and a plurality of functional layers stacked on top of another between the lower electrode and the upper electrode. The plurality of functional layers include at least: a light-emitting layer provided between the lower electrode and the upper electrode; and a first functional layer provided between the lower electrode and the light-emitting layer, and adjacent to the light-emitting layer. The light-emitting layer contains quantum dots, ligands, and a photo-crosslinking agent. The first functional layer contains a photocurable resin. An end face of the light-emitting layer and an end face of the first functional layer are flush with each other.

  • Publication number: 20240365575
    Abstract: A top-emitting pixel device is disclosed. The pixel device may include a reflective bottom electrode disposed over a substrate, a first charge transport layer disposed over the reflective bottom electrode, an emissive layer disposed over the first charge transport layer, and a second charge transport layer disposed over the emissive layer. Further, the pixel device may include a patterned transparent polymer electrode disposed over the second charge transport layer and extending laterally to cover an emissive area of the top-emitting pixel device, and a patterned auxiliary electrode disposed at least partially over the patterned transparent polymer electrode outside of the emissive area of the top-emitting pixel device to make direct electrical contact with the patterned transparent polymer electrode.

  • Patent number: 11653514
    Abstract: A light-emitting device is provided. The light-emitting device includes an anode, a cathode, and a combined charge transport and emissive layer (CCTEL) disposed between the anode and the cathode. The CCTEL includes a crosslinked charge transport material, a first plurality of quantum dots having a first energy gap, and a second plurality of quantum dots having a second energy gap wider than the first energy gap.

  • Publication number: 20230018862
    Abstract: A sub-pixel array device includes a plurality of optoelectronic devices disposed on a substrate, the plurality of optoelectronic devices including a light-emitting device and a light-converting device, and a bank structure that separates adjacent optoelectronic devices. Each optoelectronic device includes a first electrode, a second electrode, an active layer disposed between the electrodes and including a solution processable semiconductor, and a photo-crosslinkable material disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode. The photo-crosslinkable material may be incorporated within the active layer of each of the plurality of optoelectronic devices, so as to form a light-emitting device having a photo-crosslinkable emissive layer and a light-converting device having a photo-crosslinkable photo-active layer.
