Abstract

Instead of a highly toxic CdSe and ZnScore-shell,InP/ZnSecore-shell quantum dots [1,2] were investigated as an active material for quantum dot light emitting diode (QD-LED). In this paper, aquantum dot light-emitting diode (QDLED), consisting of a InP/ZnS core-shell type materials, with the device structure of glass/indium-tin-oxide (ITO)/PEDOT:PSS/Poly-TPD/InP-ZnS core-shell quantum dot/Cesium carbonate(CsCO3)/Al was fabricated through a simple spin coating technique. The resulting InP/ZnS core-shell QDs, emitting near blue green wavelength, were more efficient than the above CdSe QDs, and their luminescent properties were comparable to those of CdSe QDs.Thebrightness ofInP/ZnS QDLED was maximumof 179cd/m2.
