Patent ID: 10615358

Abstract:
A light-emitting device includes an emissive layer in which first and second charge carriers recombine to emit light; a first electrode from which the first charge carriers are generated and a second electrode from which the second charge carriers are generated; a first charge transport layer that injects the first charge carriers from the first electrode into the emissive layer; and a second charge transport layer that injects the second charge carriers from the second electrode into the emissive layer. The emissive layer includes quantum dots having a core in which the first and second charge carriers recombine and a shell, and at least a portion of the quantum dots have a Quasi-Type II configuration in which the first charge carriers are confined to the core and the second charge carriers are non-confined charge carriers that are not confined to the core or the shell. The confined charge carriers may be the electrons and the non-confined charge carriers may be the holes, or vice versa.
