Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) have gained tremendous attention as a key material for highly advanced display technologies. The performance of QD light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) has improved significantly over the past two decades, owing to notable progress in both material development and device engineering. The brightness of QLEDs has improved by more than three orders of magnitude from that of early-stage devices, and has attained a value in the range of traditional inorganic LEDs. The emergence of high-luminance (HL) QLEDs has induced fresh demands to incorporate the unique features of QDs into a wide range of display applications, beyond indoor and mobile displays. Therefore it is necessary to assess the present status and prospects of HL-QLEDs, to expand the application domain of QD-based light sources. As part of this study, we review recent advances in HL-QLEDs. In particular, based on reports of brightness exceeding 10⁵ cd/㎡, we have summarized the major approaches toward achieving high brightness in QLEDs, in terms of material development and device engineering. Furthermore, we briefly introduce the recent progress achieved toward QD laser diodes, being the next step in the development of HL-QLEDs. This review provides general guidelines for achieving HL-QLEDs, and reveals the high potential of QDs as a universal material solution that can enable realization of a wide range of display applications.

최근 10여 년간 디스플레이 시장에서의 지배적 디자인은 LCD로 한국 업체들이 이를 주도해 왔다. 그러나 최근 중국 기업들로부터의 위협이 증가되고 있어, 국내 업체들은 차세대 디스플레이 분야로 진출하기 위한 노력을 기울이고 있다. 한국 디스플레이 업체들은 최근 양자점 디스플레이 및 유기발광디스플레이 등의 신기술을 출시하여, 특히 TV용 차세대 디스플레이 시장에서 지배적 디자인을 차지하기 위한 표준 경쟁에 돌입하였다. 지배적 디자인을 결정하는 요소는 다양한 가운데, 디스플레이 제품은 특히 제품 자체의 기술적 속성이 가장 중요할 것으로 예상된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 TV용 차세대 디스플레이에 대한 소비자의 선호 속성을 파악함으로써, 이 분야 표준 경쟁을 위한 시사점을 제공하고자 한다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 잠재적 소비자들을 대상으로 한 컨조인트 분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과, 초고해상도 화면에 자연스런 색상을 표현할 수 있는 내구성 높은 제품에 대한 선호도가 높은 가운데, 제품의 가격이 중요한 요소로 작용하는 것으로 나타났다.

양자점은 수 나노미터 크기의 반도체 나노입자로 우수한 발광 특성 및 색순도, 간단한 밴드갭 조절의 장점 때문에 이를 발광원으로 사용한 양자점 디스플레이가 차세대 디스플레이로 주목받고 있다. 하지만 전하 주입 불균형 문제로 인해서 소자의 효율 및 안정성에 큰 문제가 발생하고 이를 해결하기 위한 많은 연구가 진행되었다. 본 논문에서는 전자 및 정공 수송층에 중간층을 삽입하여 양자점 디스플레이의 발광과 수명 특성을 향상시킨 연구와 정공 수송층의 구조 변화를 통해서 정공 수송 능력을 향상시킨 연구들에 대해서 소개하고자 한다.

In this talk, I will introduce two topics. The first topic is the polymer light emitting diodes (PLEDs) using graphene oxide quantum dots as emissive center. More specifically, the energy transfer mechanism as well as the origin of white electroluminescence in the PLED were investigated. The second topic is the facile synthesis of eco-friendly III-V colloidal quantum dots and their application to light emitting diodes. Polymer (organic) light emitting diodes (PLEDs) using quantum dots (QDs) as emissive materials have received much attention as promising components for next-generation displays. Despite their outstanding properties, toxic and hazardous nature of QDs is a serious impediment to their use in future eco-friendly opto-electronic device applications. Owing to the desires to develop new types of nanomaterial without health and environmental effects but with strong opto-electrical properties similar to QDs, graphene quantum dots (GQDs) have attracted great interest as promising luminophores. However, the origin of electroluminescence (EL) from GQDs incorporated PLEDs is unclear. Herein, we synthesized graphene oxide quantum dots (GOQDs) using a modified hydrothermal deoxidization method and characterized the PLED performance using GOQDs blended poly(N-vinyl carbazole) (PVK) as emissive layer. Simple device structure was used to reveal the origin of EL by excluding the contribution of and contamination from other layers. The energy transfer and interaction between the PVK host and GOQDs guest were investigated using steady-state PL, time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Experiments revealed that white EL emission from the PLED originated from the hybridized GOQD-PVK complex emission with the contributions from the individual GOQDs and PVK emissions. (Sci Rep., 5, 11032, 2015). New III-V colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) were synthesized using the hot-injection method and the QD-light emitting diodes (QLEDs) using these CQDs as emissive layer were demonstrated for the first time. The band gaps of the III-V CQDs were varied by varying the metal fraction and by particle size control. The X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) results show that the crystal states of the III-V CQDs consist of multi-phase states; multi-peak photoluminescence (PL) resulted from these multi-phase states. Inverted structured QLED shows green EL emission and a maximum luminance of ~45 cd/m2. This result shows that III-V CQDs can be a good substitute for conventional cadmium-containing CQDs in various opto-electronic applications, e.g., eco-friendly displays. (Un-published results).
