Abstract: A light-emitting device incorporates an electrode that includes conductive nanoparticles to increase emission performance. A light-emitting device includes a substrate; a first electrode disposed on the substrate between a viewing side of the light-emitting device and the substrate; a second electrode disposed between the first electrode and the viewing side of the light-emitting device, wherein the second electrode includes a layer of nanoparticles that are electrically conductive; and an emissive layer comprising quantum nanoparticles in electrical contact with the first electrode and the second electrode, wherein the first emissive layer includes a material that emits light when electrically excited. Multiple light-emitting devices may constitute sub-pixels that are combined into a pixel, such as for a display device, wherein each sub-pixel emits light of a different color. Thicknesses of the charge transport layers are the same for the sub-pixels, and/or emissive layer portions of the different sub-pixels have different thicknesses.

Abstract: A light-emitting layer structure that maximizes constructive interference for light emission by varying a phase shift introduced by reflective electrodes. The light-emitting layer structure includes a first and second optical cavity including a first and second reflective electrode; a first and second partially transparent electrode; and a first and second emissive layer (EML) disposed between the first and second reflective electrodes and the first and second partially transparent electrodes, wherein the first EML emits light having a first wavelength; wherein the first reflective electrode introduces a first phase shift, depending on the first wavelength, on reflection of light emitted by the first EML; and wherein the second EML emits light having a second wavelength and the second reflective electrode introduces a second phase shift, depending on the second wavelength, on reflection of light emitted by the second EML, and the first phase shift is different from the second phase shift.

Abstract: A light-emitting device includes an anode; a cathode; and an emissive layer disposed between the anode and the cathode, the emissive layer including quantum dots dispersed in a crosslinked matrix formed from one or more crosslinkable charge transport materials. A method of forming the emissive layer of a light-emitting device includes depositing a mixture including quantum dots and one or more crosslinkable charge transport materials on a layer; and subjecting at least a portion of the mixture to UV activation to form an emissive layer including quantum dots dispersed in a crosslinked matrix.

Abstract: A pixel circuit for a display device operable in an initialization phase, a compensation phase, a data programming phase, and an emission phase, whereby the one horizontal time is minimized while maintaining accurate compensation of the threshold voltages of the drive transistors, and further accounting for any variations in the voltage supplies. The pixel circuit includes a first drive transistor configured to control an amount of current to a light-emitting device during an emission phase depending upon voltages applied to a gate and a first terminal of the first drive transistor; and a second drive transistor that is configured as a source follower, wherein a first terminal of the second drive transistor is connected to a first power supply line and a second terminal of the second drive transistor is connected to a first terminal of the first drive transistor. The first drive transistor is one of a p-type or n-type transistor and the second drive transistor is the other of a p-type or n-type transistor. A light-emitting device is electrically connected at a first terminal to a second terminal of the first drive transistor during the emission phase and at a second terminal to a second power supply line.

Abstract: A light emitting structure comprises a bank surrounding a sub-pixel stack on a substrate, a first filler material in an interior space above the sub-pixel stack, and a second filler material over the first filler material. The sub-pixel stack emits a first emission peak along an on-axis direction substantially normal to a top surface of the sub-pixel stack and through an interface between the first and second filler materials. The sub-pixel stack emits a second emission peak along an off-axis direction that is totally internally reflected by the interface before reaching a sloped sidewall of the bank and is then emitted along the on-axis direction. An emissive area of the sub-pixel stack is configured such that the second emission peak is reflected by the interface not more than once before reaching the sloped sidewall.

Abstract: A light emitting structure comprises a substrate, a sub-pixel stack over a surface of the substrate, and a bank surrounding the sub-pixel stack on the substrate. The light emitting structure also comprises a first filler material in the interior space, and a second filler material over the first filler material. The sub-pixel stack emits a first emission peak along an on-axis direction substantially normal to a top surface of the stack and emits a second emission peak along an off-axis direction at an angle to the on-axis direction. The first emission peak is emitted through an interface between the first filler material and the second filler material substantially without total internal reflection. The second emission peak is totally internally reflected by the interface before reaching a sloped sidewall of the bank and is emitted along the on-axis direction.

Abstract: A light-emitting structure maximizes constructive interference for light emission by adjusting charge carrier mobilities of different sub-pixel emissive layers such that charge recombination occurs at a boundary of each emissive layer and one of the charge transport layers. The light-emitting layer structure includes two electrode layers that respectively generate first and second charges that are carried via first and second charge transport layers, and a plurality of emissive layers (EMLs) including a first EML having a first charge mobility favoring the first charges and a second EML having a second charge mobility favoring second charges. The first EML emits light by recombination of the first and second charges at a first boundary layer formed at one of the charge transport layers and the first EML, and the second EML emits light by recombination of the first and second charges at a second boundary layer formed at the other of the charge transport layers and the second EML.
