  • Publication number: 20220393128
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a light emitting device including a light emitting layer having a stacked structure of two or more layers in which the light emitting layer is alternately disposed with a first light emitting material layer and a second light emitting material layer. In addition, the light-emitting material layer is a perovskite layer or an organic material layer, the first light-emitting material layer and the second light-emitting material layer are characterized in that they have different band gaps. By alternately disposing the first light emitting material layer and the second light emitting material layer to have a stacked structure and by controlling the energy level, there is an advantage in that the electroluminescence efficiency can be improved by controlling the electron-hole recombination region of the light emitting device.

  • Publication number: 20220389309
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a perovskite light-emitting composition, and a method for preparing the same. The method for producing the perovskite light-emitting composition of the present disclosure includes an organic siloxane solvent having very high hydrophobicity and low surface tension as a synthesis solvent, thereby having a large surface tension difference from the perovskite light-emitting particles containing an organic ligand. Through these properties, a dense organic ligand can be attached to the surface of the perovskite nanoparticles, and perovskite light-emitting particles having a high ligand density can be prepared. Accordingly, the perovskite light-emitting particles prepared by the method of the present disclosure have improved dispersion stability, light-emitting properties and long-term storage stability.

  • Publication number: 20220194969
    Abstract: Provided are metal halide perovskite light emitting device and method of manufacturing the same. The metal halide perovskite light emitting device uses perovskite film having a multi-dimensional crystal structure derived from a proton transfer reaction as light emitting layer. Due to self-assembled shell of the perovskite film, ion movement is suppressed and surface defects are removed. Thereby, photoluminescence intensity, luminescence efficiency and lifetime are improved. By injecting a fluorine-based material and a basic material into the PEDOT:PSS conductive polymer used as the conventional hole injection layer, the acidity is controlled and the work function of the interface is improved. Furthermore, chemically stable graphene barrier layer protects the electrode vulnerable to acid, so that a high-efficiency light emitting device can be manufactured.

  • Patent number: 11320367
    Abstract: A testing system includes a production-type laser having optical modes of a production laser that interfaces with an optical path of a heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) slider. A far-field light illumination path delivers excitation light from the production-type laser to the optical path of the HAMR slider, the excitation light being emitted from an air bearing surface (ABS) of the HAMR slider. Optics receive the emitted light from the ABS and distribute the emitted light to one or more sensors. The system determines, based on signals received from the one or more sensors, a depolarization of the emitted light and a coupling efficiency of the HAMR slider. The system may also measure light reflecting out of the optical path and Fourier transform these measurements to determine locations of reflections within the optical path.

  • Publication number: 20220102660
    Abstract: Disclosed are a metal halide perovskite light-emitting material with controlled defects and wavelength converting body having the same, and light-emitting device. Monvalent organic cation (A2) contained in the perovskite nanocrystal can stabilize the perovskite nanocrystal and suppress the generation of defects in the crystal due to the entropy effect. Remnant A2 cations not included in the perovskite nanocrystal form a structure surrounding the perovskite nanocrystal particles, and passivate defects generated on the surface of the perovskite nanocrystal particles. Photoluminescence quantum efficiency, photoluminescence lifetime, and stability are improved through passivation of defects, and the metal halide perovskite light-emitting material can be effectively used in a light-emitting layer or a wavelength conversion layer of a light-emitting device.
