abstract：:Large-area light-emitting diodes (LEDs) fabricated by mass-production techniques are needed for low-cost flat-panel lighting. Nevertheless, it is still challenging to fabricate efficient large-area LEDs using organic small molecules (OLEDs), quantum dots (QLEDs), polymers (PLEDs), and recently-developed hybrid perovsk...
