On the degradation mechanisms of quantum-dot light-emitting diodes

Wide application of quantum dot light emitting diodes (QLED) in display technology is hindered by the poor lifetime of the blue QLEDs. Here, the degradation mechanism is shown to originate from space charge accumulation in the electron-transporting layer enabling improvements in blue QLED lifetimes.
