Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) are intriguing materials due to their outstanding properties like spectral tunabilty, high quantum efficiency, narrow emission spectra and solution processability. Many past and on-going researches on quantum dot light-emitting devices (QLEDs) have led to achieving efficiency levels comparable to organic LEDs and semiconductor LEDs. However, most QLED studies are based on toxic QDs, which raises concerns about environmental and health issues. Our study demonstrates the application of a new non-toxic nanomaterial, InP/ZnO QDs, to LEDs. Integrating InP/ZnO QDs into device architecture, we produced low turn-on voltage (2.8 V), saturated color devices, which have luminance levels (600 cd/m2) suitable for display technology.
