Summary: | Highly efficient blue quantum-dot light-emitting diodes (QD-LEDs) have been fabricated by substituting Mg-doped ZnO (Mg<italic><sub>x</sub></italic>Zn<sub>1-</sub><italic><sub>x</sub></italic>O) for ZnO as an electron transporting layer (ETL). The device performance can be enhanced by optimizing Mg-doped ratios for the device structure of ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PVK/QDs/Mg<sub>x</sub>Zn<sub>1-</sub><italic><sub>x</sub></italic>O/Al. The maximum luminescence efficiency and maximum brightness of blue QD-LEDs increase from 1.1 cd/A and 1500 cd/m<sup>2</sup> for ZnO to 2.3 cd/A and 2500 cd/m<sup>2</sup> for 10% Mg-doped ZnO (Mg<sub>0.10</sub>Zn<sub>0.90</sub> O), respectively. The improved device performance should be attributed to balance electron and hole injection due to Mg-doped ZnO increasing the band gap and reduce exciton loss at the interface between the ETL and the emissive layer. |
