title: Metal-Oxide Stacked Electron Transport Layer for Highly Efficient Inverted Quantum-Dot Light Emitting Diodes.
abstract: We report highly efficient inverted quantum-dot light emitting diodes (QLEDs) using an Al doped ZnO (AZO)/Li doped ZnO (LZO) stack electron transport layer (ETL). An introduction of the LZO layer on AZO improved the current and power efficiencies of the green (G-) QLEDs from 10.5 to 34.0 cd A-1and from 5.4 to 29.6 lm W-1, respectively. The red (R-), G-, and blue (B-) QLEDs fabricated in this work exhibited the maximum external quantum efficiencies (EQEs) of 8.4, 12.5, and 4.3%, respectively. It is found from time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) and transient electroluminescence (EL) decay that exciton loss at the interface between the ETL and the emission layer can be significantly reduced by introducing LZO.
