New direction found for perovskite enhanced displays

Date2020-06-08/

While many think of perovskite for solar cells, there are significant opportunities for their use in lighting and displays. A research team at Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) has been working relentlessly to make new progress in the perovskite enhanced displays.

Perovskite materials are ideal candidates for display and lighting because of their excellent optical properties, tunable bandgap, and efficient luminous properties. However, they lack the stability for commercial development. Considerable research has been put into perovskite materials to improve the displays on a variety of everyday items.

Professor Xiaowei Sun and Associate Professor Kai Wang (both Electrical and Electronic Engineering) have brought their research teams together to publish two significant papers in high-impact academic journals Advanced Functional Materials (IF = 15.6) and Advanced Optical Materials (IF = 7.1)

The paper published in Advanced Functional Materials was titled, “Highly Luminescent and Stable Green Quasi‐2D Perovskite‐Embedded Polymer Sheets by Inkjet Printing.” It proposed an inkjet printing strategy for in-situ generating quasi-2D perovskite on different polymer substrates. This unique strategy would protect the perovskite layer from erosion while improving its stability and increasing its luminescence.

The high-precision pattern composite material film, realized by in-situ inkjet printing quasi-2D perovskite technology, offers great promise in flat panel displays. It should reduce the cost of light conversion films in 4K and 8K display technologies significantly.

Visiting student from Jilin University, Siqi Jia was the first author of the paper. The co-corresponding authors of the paper were Xiao Wei Sun, Kai Wang, and Guangyu Li (Jilin University). SUSTech and Jilin University are the corresponding units. The other contributing unit was the Shenzhen Planck Innovation Technology Co. Ltd.

The paper published in “Advanced Optical Materials” was titled “Facile In Situ Fabrication of Cs4PbBr6/CsPbBr3 Nanocomposite Containing Polymer Films for Ultrawide Color Gamut Displays.” In this paper, the research group proposed a simple and effective method for the preparation of a Cs4PbBr6/CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystal film. The researchers prepared a polymer composite film that has a high conversion efficiency of light while having a low deterioration rate due to the dual protection by Cs4PbBr6 and the polymer matrix.

Compared to quantum dot films, the perovskite nanocrystal films provide more vibrant color details for smartphones, particularly in the green spectrum with a narrow full width at half maximum of 19nm (Figure 2).

This paper in Advanced Optical Materials has successfully demonstrated the outstanding advantages of high-performance perovskite composite films in wide-color displays. It provides significant support for commercial applications for these films.
