Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QD-LEDs) are one of the most promising self-luminous displays in terms of luminous efficiency, wavelength tunability and cost. Future applications using QD-LEDs range from wide color gamut and large screen displays to augmented/virtual reality displays, wearable/flexible displays, in-vehicle displays and transparent displays, which require high performance in terms of contrast, viewing angle, response time and power consumption. The theoretical efficiency of a single component is achieved by customizing the QD structure and optimizing the charge balance in the charge transport layer to improve efficiency and lifetime. The maximum external quantum efficiency and lifetime of QD-LEDs have now taken a quantum leap and are increasingly eligible for commercialization. However, many challenges remain for the key factors determining the performance of QD-LEDs, such as the emitter, hole/electron transport layer and device structure.

This Special Issue invites contributions describing the latest advances in quantum dot light-emitting diodes. All theoretical, numerical and experimental papers are accepted. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Design and development of efficient quantum dot light-emitting diode transmission layers;
  • Research on the performance degradation mechanism of quantum dot light-emitting diode devices;
  • High-resolution quantum dot light-emitting diode techniques;
  • Novel quantum dot light-emitting materials;
  • Integration of quantum dots with micro-LED/mini-LED;
  • Highly efficient perovskite quantum dot light-emitting diodes;
  • Stabilized perovskite quantum dot light-emitting material manufacturing technology;
  • Quantum dot light-emitting diode application;
  • Quantum dot color conversion luminescent thin-film backlighting technologies;
  • Quantum dot patterning technologies.

Integrated light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with waveguides play an important role in applications such as augmented reality (AR) displays, particularly regarding coupling efficiency optimization. Quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs), an emerging high-performance optoelectronic device, demonstrate substantial potential for next-generation display technologies. This study investigates the influence of microcavity modulation on the output of QLEDs coupled with a silicon nitride (SiNx) waveguide by simulating a white light QLED (W-QLED) with a broad spectrum and mixed RGB QDs (RGB-QLED) with a comparatively narrower spectrum. The microcavity converts both W-QLED and RGB-QLED emissions from broadband white-light emissions into narrowband single-wavelength outputs. Specifically, both of them have demonstrated wavelength tuning and full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) narrowing across the visible spectrum from 400 nm to 750 nm due to the microcavity modulation. The resulting RGB-QLED achieves a FWHM of 11.24 nm and reaches 110.76% of the National Television System Committee 1953 (NTSC 1953) standard color gamut, which is a 20.95% improvement over W-QLED. Meanwhile, due to the Purcell effect of the microcavity, the output efficiency of the QLED coupled with a SiNx waveguide is also significantly improved by optimizing the thickness of the Ag anode and introducing a tilted reflective mirror into the SiNx waveguide. Moreover, the optimal output efficiency of RGB-QLED with the tilted Ag mirror is 10.13%, representing a tenfold increase compared to the sample without the tilted Ag mirror. This design demonstrates an efficient and compact approach for the near-eye full-color display technology. Full article

Fluxonium qubits, designed to mitigate charge noise and enhance anharmonicity, are among the most promising superconducting platforms for quantum computing. To understand and exploit their quantum properties and design novel fluxonium-based architectures with improved functionalities, these systems require an accurate Hamiltonian formulation to capture their energy level structure and quantum dynamics. This work presents a systematic method for constructing the Hamiltonian for multi-loop circuits that partitions the system into a set of uncoupled harmonic oscillators and a coupled anharmonic part originating from the Josephson circuit elements, allowing clear identification of independent modes and isolating the nonlinearity in the Josephson terms. While demonstrated for fluxonium-type multi-loop circuits, this method can be generalized to other superconducting qubit architectures within the broader context of circuit QED, making it a versatile tool for exploring different circuit configurations. Our systematic and flexible modeling approach forms the theoretical basis for the qubit measurement and control experiments validating multi-loop fluxonium architectures. Full article
