The performance of the Cd‐free quantum‐dot light emitting diode (QLED) was investigated by mixing the hole and electron transport materials with the emission layer. With an optimized mixing ratio of the hole transport and electron transport materials, the current efficiency of 4.2 cd/A and EQE of 2.2% was achieved using the ZnCuInS/ZnS‐based QLED at yellow emission. Additionally, after optimizing the mixing ratios, the carrier injection is balanced, so the current efficiency is constant for wide current densities.
The performance of the Cd-free quantum-dot light-emitting diode was investigated using un-doped and non-stoichiometric sputtered ZnO. Highly conductive metallic ZnO was sputtered with the presence of pure argon (Ar) gas, where the thickness was varied to enhance the structural, morphological, and electrical properties. The electrical properties of the fabricated ZnO were measured using the Hall measurement technique. Consequently, the device performance was validated by the mobility and carrier concentration of the sputtered ZnO film. In addition, from the X-ray diffraction analysis, it was confirmed that the ZnO film was grown on c(002)-axis orientation, parallel to the substrate surface. The morphological properties were also observed using a field-emission-scanning electron microscope to integrate with the crystalline growth conditions of XRD analysis. The external quantum efficiency of 1.02% and current efficiency of 1.86 cd A−1 were achieved with the mobility of 15.1 cm2 V−1 s−1 and carrier concentration of 2.94 × 1020 cm−3 of the ZnO film.
