Abstract
In colloidal quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QD-LEDs), replacing organic hole transport layers (HTLs) with their inorganic counterparts is expected to yield distinct advantages due to their inherent material robustness. However, despite the promising characteristics of all-inorganic QD-LEDs, some challenges persist in achieving stable operation; for example, the electron overflow toward the inorganic HTL and charge accumulation within working devices return a temporal inconsistency in device characteristics. To address these challenges, we propose an operational approach that employs an alternating-current (AC) in all-inorganic QD-LEDs. We carry out comprehensive studies on the optoelectrical characteristics of all-inorganic QD-LEDs under direct-current (DC) or AC operation and demonstrate that AC operation can facilitate efficient charge carrier recombination within the QD emissive layer, leading to improved device efficiency and temporally invariant optoelectronic characteristics. Leveraging the intrinsic material robustness of inorganic charge transport layers (CTLs), our current study suggests a promising pathway toward enhancing the performance and stability of QD-LEDs, particularly for futuristic display applications.
