Impedance measurements on QLED devices: analysis of high-frequency loop in terms of material properties

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy is used to study red and green quantum-dot light-emitting diodes devices. The high-frequency loop is interpreted in terms of the thickness, dielectric constant, and resistivity distribution of the hole-injection layer. The analysis employed the device capacitance obtained from a measurement model analysis, the film thickness measured by scanning electron microscopy, and an interpretation of the impedance based on a power-law model. Impedance measurements performed on hole-transport–only devices yielded results that were consistent with the interpretation of the high-frequency capacitive loop in terms of the properties of the hole-injection layer.
