Abstract

In this study, deep blue, pure electroluminescence (EL) at 441.5 nm from a ZnSe/ZnS quantum dot light-emitting device (QD-LED) is obtained by using poly (4-butylphenyl-diphenyl-amine) (poly-TPD) as the hole-transport layer (HTL) to open up the channel for energy transfer from poly-TPD to QDs. The emission originating from HTL is observed in the QD-LED with N,N-bis (tolyl)-N,N-diphenyl-1,1-biphenyl-4,4-diamine functionalized with two styryl groups (2-TPD) as the HTL due to inefficient energy-transfer from 2-TPD to QDs. The poly-TPD based device exhibits color-saturated blue emission with a narrow spectral bandwidth of full width at half maximum (17.2nm). These results explore the operating mechanism of the QD EL and signify a remarkable progress in deep blue QD-LEDs based on environmental-friendly QD materials.
