  • Characterization of device performance, including luminance and turn-on voltage.

    • Main Results:

    • Red, green, and blue QLEDs achieved maximum luminances of 12,510, 32,370, and 249 cd/m², respectively.
    • Turn-on voltages for the devices were recorded as 2.8 V (red), 3.6 V (green), and 3.6 V (blue).
    • A small amount of surfactant in the HIL significantly improved QLED performance.

    Conclusions:

    • Solution-processed inverted QLEDs are viable for display applications.
    • Surfactant addition in the HIL is a critical factor for enhancing QLED performance.
    • Optimized HIL deposition facilitates layer formation and improves overall device efficiency.
