Abstract

A light emitting device includes a semiconductor nanocrystal and a charge transporting layer that includes an inorganic material. The charge transporting layer can be a hole or electron transporting layer. The inorganic material can be an inorganic semiconductor.

Claims (10)

1. A light emitting device comprising:

a first electrode,

a first charge transporting layer including a first inorganic material on the first electrode,

a emissive layer comprising an emissive material including a plurality of colloidally-grown semiconductor nanocrystals on the first charge transporting layer,

a second charge transporting layer including a second inorganic material on the emissive layer, wherein the second inorganic material has a band gap greater than an emission energy of the emissive material; and

a second electrode on the second charge transporting layer.

2. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the first inorganic material includes a metal chalcogenide.

3. The light emitting device of claim 2 , wherein the metal chalcogenide includes a zinc oxide, a titanium oxide, a niobium oxide, a zinc sulfide, an indium tin oxide, or a mixture thereof.

4. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the first charge transporting layer is a hole transporting layer.

5. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the second charge transporting layer is an electron transporting layer.
