  • Publication number: 20240138178
    Abstract: A light-emitting apparatus having an improved charge transport layer is disclosed. The apparatus may include a substrate and a first electrode layer disposed on the substrate. The apparatus may further include an emissive layer including quantum dots soluble in a first solvent having a first polarity, where the emissive layer may be in electrical contact with the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer. The apparatus may further include a hole transport layer between the emissive layer and first electrode layer and an electron transport layer between the emissive layer and the second electrode layer. The electron transport layer may include metal-oxide nanoparticles. The metal-oxide nanoparticles may be soluble in a second solvent having a second polarity lower than the first polarity.

  • Patent number: 11825672
    Abstract: A quantum dot light-emitting apparatus includes a substrate, with a first electrode layer located on the substrate. An emissive layer having a first set of quantum dots is electrically coupled with the first electrode layer, and a second electrode layer is also electrically coupled with the emissive layer. The second electrode layer is located opposite the first electrode layer, relative to the emissive layer. A first charge transport layer is placed between the emissive layer and the first electrode layer, and a second charge transport layer is placed between the emissive layer and the second electrode layer. At least one of the first charge transport layer and the second charge transport layer includes a second set of quantum dots.

  • 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.
