Area of Science:

• Materials Science
• Optoelectronics
• Semiconductor Technology

Background:

• Metal halide perovskites exhibit exceptional optoelectronic properties, making them promising for next-generation displays.
• Perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) offer potential for high-quality color displays with wide color gamuts and pure emission.
• Commercialization of PeLEDs faces challenges in uniform large-area film fabrication, material stability, and patterning precision.

Purpose of the Study:

• To systematically analyze scalable manufacturing and precision patterning strategies for PeLEDs.
• To focus on applications in large-area lighting and full-color displays.
• To discuss advantages, limitations, and future pathways for scalable, high-performance PeLEDs.

Main Methods:

• Categorization of fabrication methods into film deposition techniques (spin-coating, blade-coating, thermal evaporation).
• Analysis of patterning strategies, including top-down (photolithography, laser/e-beam lithography, nanoimprinting) and bottom-up (patterned crystal growth, inkjet printing, electrohydrodynamic jet printing) approaches.
• Review of current challenges and potential solutions for PeLED manufacturing.

Main Results:

• Identified various film deposition techniques suitable for scalable PeLED manufacturing.
• Detailed top-down and bottom-up patterning strategies for precise control over PeLED fabrication.
• Highlighted the trade-offs between different manufacturing and patterning methods.

Conclusions:

• Scalable manufacturing and precision patterning are crucial for commercializing PeLED technology.
• Advancements in fabrication techniques are needed to overcome current limitations in uniformity, stability, and precision.
• Future research should focus on integrated strategies for high-performance, large-area PeLEDs for displays and lighting.
