Efficient transparent blue-emitted perovskite light-emitting diodes based on multilayer transparent top electrodes

Abstract

Transparent displays are one of the development directions of future displays, and have great application potential in smart windows, wearable electronic products, virtual reality technology, touch screens and other fields. Perovskite materials have high fluorescence quantum efficiency and high color purity, which make a thin luminous layer achieve high device performance, making us foresee their potential application in the field of transparent displays in the future. However, due to the limitations of the modulation of the luminescent layer and top transparent electrodes, the performance of transparent perovskite light-emitting diodes (TPeLEDs) still has a certain gap compared to the traditional perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs). In this work, the first blue emitted TPeLEDs were prepared by using quasi two-dimensional perovskite materials and multilayer transparent top electrodes. By designing and optimizing the performance of the luminescent layer and the structure of the top transparent electrode, the transmittance and device efficiency of TPeLEDs were enhanced. The best TPeLED shows a maximum transmittance of nearly 70%, and displays a maximum brightness of 2294 cd m⁻² and a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 11.73%.
