A roadmap for the commercialization of perovskite light emitters

Abstract

Metal halide perovskites (MHPs) possess advantageous optoelectronic properties, so perovskite emitters and perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) are promising candidates for next-generation high-colour-purity displays and lighting applications. Within the past 5 years, the luminescence efficiency of MHP emitters and PeLEDs has increased rapidly. However, the industrial applications of perovskites are impeded by several technical bottlenecks, such as insufficient colour reproducibility, low operational stability, toxicity and limited large-scale production. In this Review, we survey the current status of MHP emitters and PeLEDs and provide a technical roadmap to highlight the goals and requirements for them to successfully enter the markets for vivid displays with high colour purity, augmented and virtual reality displays and general and special lighting. We also set out steps for future research in MHPs and their device applications. Halide perovskite light emitters hold promise for next-generation high-colour-purity displays and lighting applications. This Review surveys the outstanding scientific issues and the strategies to increase the efficiency and stability of perovskite light-emitting devices, tracing a roadmap for their mass production and commercialization.
