  • Patent number: 10826009
    Abstract: A quantum dot light-emitting diode and a display apparatus comprising the quantum dot light-emitting diode are provided. The quantum dot light-emitting diode comprises an anode, a hole injecting layer, a hole transporting layer, a quantum dot light-emitting layer, an electron transporting layer and a cathode from bottom to top, wherein the materials of the quantum dot light-emitting layer contain quantum dots and CuSCN nano-particles. By blending quantum dots and CuSCN nano-particles into a membrane to prepare a quantum dot light-emitting layer, a hole trap state on the surface of the quantum dots is passivated, and the transporting effect of a hole is improved, so that the injection of holes in the quantum dot light-emitting diode and that of electrons achieve balance, and thus the light-emitting efficiency and stability are improved.

  • Publication number: 20200312227
    Abstract: Disclosed in the present disclosure is a preconfigured reverse drive method applied in a video displaying process. The method comprises the steps of: pre-obtaining display content of several frames behind lit pixels in a video by means of content loading; and adding a reverse drive signal before each forward drive signal used for driving the display content of the several frames, to suppress electric charge concentration on pixel in a video display panel in advance. The reverse drive signal changes the potential barrier of the detect potential well, removes electric charges confined and concentrated in the potential well, and reduces the density of confined electric charges. Thus, the video display brightness is improved, and the service life of the video display panel is prolonged.

  • Publication number: 20200313089
    Abstract: Disclosed are a crosslinked nanoparticle film and a preparation method therefor, and a thin film optoelectronic device. The preparation method comprises: dispersing nanoparticles in a solvent and uniformly mixing same, so as to obtain a nanoparticle solution; and using the nanoparticle solution to prepare a nanoparticle thin film by means of a solution method, and introducing a gas combination to promote a crosslinking reaction, so as to obtain a crosslinked nanoparticle thin film. By introducing a gas combination during film formation of nanoparticles, the present disclosure promotes the crosslinking among particles, and thus increases the electrical coupling among particles, lowers the potential barrier of carrier transmission, and increases the carrier mobility, thereby greatly improving the electrical properties of the thin film.

  • Publication number: 20130087200
    Abstract: Back reflector arrays are applied to the surface distal to the incident light receiving surface of a thin film solar cell to increase its efficiency by altering the reflected light path and thereby increasing the path length of light through the active layer of the solar cell. The back reflector is an array of features of micrometer proportions. The feature may be concave or convex features such as hemispheres, hemi-ellipsoids, partial-spheres, partial-ellipsoids, or combinations thereof The feature may be pyramidal. A method of forming the back reflector array is by forming an array of features from a photocurable resin, subsequent curing the resin and metalizing the cured resin to render the surface reflective. The photocurable resin can be applied by inkjet printing or rolling or stamping with a mold.
