• Violet cadmium-free quantum dot-based light-emitting diodes (QD-LEDs) were demonstrated.
• The performance of QD-LEDs was optimized by selecting the hole transport materials.
• Violet QD-LEDs with high efficiency and low turn-on voltage could be obtained via controlling the amount of TFB mixed PVK.
• No obvious broad emission could be recorded in all the regions of the EL spectrum of TFB–PVK mixture HTL devices.
Bright and efficient violet quantum dot (QD) based light-emitting diodes (QD-LEDs) with heavy-metal-free ZnSe/ZnS have been demonstrated by choosing different hole transport layers, including poly(4-butyl-phenyl-diphenyl-amine) (poly-TPD), poly[9,9-dioctylfluorene-co-N-[4-(3-methylpropyl)]-diphenylamine] (TFB), and poly-N-vinylcarbazole (PVK). Violet QD-LEDs with maximum luminance of about 930 cd/m2, the maximum current efficiency of 0.18 cd/A, and the peak EQE of 1.02% when poly-TPD was used as HTL. Higher brightness and low turn-on voltage (3.8 V) violet QD-LEDs could be fabricated when TFB was used as hole transport material. Although the maximum luminance could reach up to 2691 cd/m2, the devices exhibited only low current efficiency (∼0.51 cd/A) and EQE (∼2.88%). If PVK is used as hole transport material, highly efficient violet QD-LEDs can be fabricated with lower maximum luminance and higher turn-on voltages compared with counterpart using TFB. Therefore, TFB and PVK mixture in a certain proportion has been used as HTL, turn-on voltage, brightness, and efficiency all have been improved greatly. The QD-LEDs is fabricated with 7.39% of EQE and 2856 cd/m2 of maximum brightness with narrow FWHM less than 21 nm. These results represent significant improvements in the performance of heavy-metal-free violet QD-LEDs in terms of efficiency, brightness, and color purity.
