Perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) have emerged as promising candidates for lighting and display technologies owing to their high photoluminescence quantum efficiency and high carrier mobility. However, the performance of planar PeLEDs is limited by the out-coupling efficiency, predominantly governed by photonic losses at device interfaces. Most notably, the plasmonic loss at the metal electrode interfaces can account for up to 60% of the total loss. Here, we investigate the use of plasmonic nanostructures to improve the light out-coupling in PeLEDs. By integrating these nanostructures with PeLEDs, we have demonstrated an effectively reduced plasmonic loss and enhanced light out-coupling. As a result, the nanostructured PeLEDs exhibit an average 1.5-fold increase in external quantum efficiency and an ∼20-fold improvement in device lifetime. This finding offers a generic approach for enhancing light out-coupling, promising great potential to go beyond existing performance limitations.

Despite excellent efficiency and stability achieved in regular single-unit quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs), regular tandem QLEDs still suffer from limited device performance, lagging far behind the inverted tandem QLEDs. Here, novel regular tandem QLEDs are demonstrated with an ultrathin (≈4 nm) indium tin oxide (ITO) charge generation layer (CGL). Through systematic optimization of charge injection balance and light out-coupling efficiency, the resulting tandem QLEDs can exhibit a record-breaking EQE of 51.

Molecular crystal-based electrochemiluminescence (ECL) waveguides can output directional optical signal. However, an optical loss still exists, suppressing the output strength. Herein, we report an approach of achieving enhanced ECL output by ingeniously designing microrod-shaped molecular crystals with microcavities at both terminals, termed as mMCs.

However, conventional approaches for generating polarized light often involve complex out-coupling structures or mechanical treatments that may reduce device efficiency and pose difficulties in large-area fabrication. In this study, we introduce a strategy utilizing a metasurface mirror as the bottom reflector to enable high-efficiency polarized light emission.

Quantum dots (QDs) with excellent optical properties are rapidly emerging as promising materials for the construction of photonic devices and systems. However, the light generated within QD-based devices always suffers from limited light out-coupling efficiency due to photon trapping effects caused by successive total internal reflection and waveguide losses at the edge. This study introduces a pseudo-4D printing strategy to construct microbubble arrays to tackle light trapping in QDs films.

Controlling the orientation of the transition dipole moment (TDM) is very important in the field of optoelectronics. In particular, the horizontal orientation of emissive TDMs in organic materials has been extensively studied because it can improve the out-coupling efficiency of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Conversely, the vertical orientation of emissive TDMs remains virtually unexplored.
