Abstract

Provided are a wavelength converting particle, a method for manufacturing a wavelength converting particle, and a light-emitting diode containing a wavelength converting particle. The wavelength converting particle comprises a hybrid OIP nanocrystal that converts a wavelength of light generated by an excitation light source into a specified wavelength. Accordingly, it is possible to optically stabilize and improve color purity and light-emission performance without changes in a light-emitting wavelength range.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A light-emitting device comprising:
a base structure;
at least one excitation light source disposed on the base structure and configured to emit light of a predetermined wavelength; and
a wavelength-converting layer disposed along an optical path of the excitation light source and including a plurality of wavelength-converting particles which comprise:
one or more nanocrystals of a perovskite material having a nanocrystal size greater than 10 nm and smaller than 300 nm that is configured to absorb light having a first wavelength and to emit light having a second wavelength; and
a plurality of ligands attached to the one or more nanocrystals,
wherein the second wavelength of the light emitted from the perovskite material does not change substantially over the nanocrystal size thereof unlike a quantum dot that substantially changes a wavelength of light emitted therefrom over a nanocrystal size thereof,
wherein the perovskite material has a crystal structure of A 2 BX 4 , ABX 4 , ABX 3 , or A n−1 B n X 3n+1 (n is an integer ranging from 2 to 6), and
wherein A is organic ammonium or organic cation, B is a metal, and X is a halogen,
wherein the wavelength-converting layer further comprises:
a dispersion medium that is configured to disperse the wavelength-converting particles,
wherein the wavelength-converting particles are dispersed in the dispersion medium.

2. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one excitation light source is at least one selected from the group consisting of a light-emitting diode (LED) and a laser diode.

3. The excitation light source of claim 1 , wherein the at least one excitation light source emits blue light of a wavelength ranging from 420 nm to 480 nm.

4. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the wavelength-converting layer further comprises:
a sealing member that seals the wavelength-converting particles and the dispersion medium.

5. The light-emitting device of claim 4 , wherein the sealing member comprises a sheet-type resin adhered to the dispersion medium.

6. The light-emitting device of claim 4 , wherein the sealing member comprises a polymer or silicone.

7. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the base structure is a light-emitting diode wafer.

8. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the wavelength-converting layer includes a polymer resin in which the plurality of wavelength-converting particles are substantially uniformly dispersed.

9. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the first wavelength is shorter than the second wavelength.
