Abstract

A patterned quantum dot film layer, a quantum dot light-emitting device and a manufacturing method. The manufacturing method includes: forming a patterned mask layer on one side of a base substrate; forming a quantum dot thin film on the side of the mask layer that faces away from the base substrate, the quantum dot thin film includes quantum dot bodies and native ligands connected to the quantum dot bodies; forming, on the side of the quantum dot thin film that faces away from the mask layer, a ligand thin film that includes replacement ligands, and leaving same to stand for a first duration, such that the native ligands are replaced by the replacement ligands; performing cleaning by means of a cleaning solvent, removing unreacted replacement ligands and replaced native ligands; peeling off the mask layer, and removing together the quantum dot thin film attached to the mask layer.

Claims (44)

forming a quantum dot thin film on a side, facing away from the base substrate, of the patterned mask layer, wherein the quantum dot thin film comprises the quantum dot bodies, and native ligands connected to the quantum dot bodies;

forming a ligand thin film containing replacement ligands on a side, facing away from the patterned mask layer, of the quantum dot thin film, and standing for a first duration, such that the native ligands are replaced by the replacement ligands;

performing cleaning by a cleaning solvent to remove unreacted replacement ligands and replaced native ligands, wherein the quantum dot bodies connected to the replacement ligands are not removed by the cleaning solvent; and

peeling off the patterned mask layer, and together removing the quantum dot thin film attached to the patterned mask layer, so as to form a pattern part of a quantum dot film layer in the target region;

wherein the forming the ligand thin film containing the replacement ligands on the side, facing away from the patterned mask layer, of the quantum dot thin film, and standing for the first duration, such that the native ligands are replaced by the replacement ligands, comprises:
