Abstract

In this paper, we have fabricated quantum dot light-emitting diode (QD-LED) based on silver (Ag) electrode. The QD-LED with Ag electrode is demonstrated with decreased leakage current, improved luminous efficiency, low turn-on voltages, and saturated emission exhibiting the Commission Internationale de l’Enclairage coordinates of (0.59, 0.40). Meanwhile, compared to the QD-LED with indium tin oxide-coated polyethylene terephthalate electrode, the electroluminescence intensity was enhanced twice for QD-LED based on Ag electrode, and turn-on voltage was reduced to 4.7 V, which was attributed to the higher conductivity and better transmission of Ag electrode.
