[MEET4-1 (Invited)] Catastrophic Failure in Quantum Dots Light-Emitting Diodes: a Morphology Study
Quantum dot, Quantum dot light-emitting diode, Electron transport layer, Exciton quenching
Understanding the failure mechanisms of quantum dot light-emitting diodes is crucial for their applications. In this study, morphological analysis of catastrophically failed devices reveals distinctive volcanic-like characteristics. These features stem from the detachment and disruption of the device's structure, encompassing the organic functional layer and metal electrode. This phenomenon is believed to be initiated by the synergistic effects of oxygen, moisture, and electrical current.
