Wettability-Guided Screen Printing of Perovskite Microlaser Arrays for Current-Driven Displays

Halide perovskites have shown tremendous potential for next-generation flat-panel laser displays due to their remarkable optoelectronic properties and outstanding material processability; however, the lack of a general approach for the fast growth of perovskite laser arrays capable of electrical operations impedes actualization of their display applications. Herein, a universal and robust wettability-guided screen-printing technique is reported for the rapid growth of large-scale multicolor perovskite microdisk laser arrays, which can serve as laser display panels and further be used to realize current-driven displays. The perovskite microlasers are precisely defined with controlled physical dimensions and spatial locations by such a printing strategy, and each perovskite microlaser serves as a pixel of a display panel. Moreover, the screen-printing procedure is highly compatible with light-emitting diode (LED) device architectures, which is favorable for the mass production of micro-LED arrays. On this basis, a prototype of a current-driven display is demonstrated with desired functionalities. The outstanding performance and feasible fabrication of screen-printed perovskite microlaser arrays embedded in LEDs provide deep insights into the concepts and device architectures of electrically driven laser display technology.
