Abstract

We investigated the effect of intense-pulsed light (IPL) post-treatment on the time-dependent characteristics of ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) used as an electron transport layer (ETL) of quantum-dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs). The time-dependent characteristics of the charge injection balance in QLEDs was observed by fabrication and analysis of single carrier devices (SCDs), and it was confirmed that the time-dependent characteristics of the ZnO NPs affect the device characteristics of QLEDs. Stabilization of the ZnO NPs film properties for improvement of the charge injection balance in QLEDs was achieved by controlling the current density characteristics via filling of the oxygen vacancies by IPL post-treatment.
