Application: Light emitting element, display device, lighting device, and method for producing light emitting element (Patent ID: US20230403930A1)
The patent filed by Sharp Corp. describes a light-emitting element with an anode, blue light-emitting layer, electron transport layer, and cathode. The electron transport layer includes a nanoparticle with a metal oxide and a ligand containing a thiol group. The ligand may contain a compound with one thiol group per molecule, an odd number of carbon atoms, or a benzene ring directly bonded to the thiol group.
The method for producing the light-emitting element involves causing a metal-oxide precursor to react with a hydroxide ion to generate a nanoparticle, adding a quantum dot with the nanoparticle and ligand to a solution, and applying the solution onto a substrate. Additional steps include adding a second alcohol to the quantum dot, cleaning the solution with various solvents, and ensuring the ligand contains a specific number of carbon atoms. The patent also covers a display device comprising the described light-emitting element.
