Equivalent Circuit of Quantum-Dot LED and Acquisition of Carrier Lifetime in Active Layer

We propose an equivalent circuit for a quantum-dot LED (QLED), where the resistances and the capacitances are expressed in terms of the physical parameters of the QLED. The validity of the equivalent circuit is verified by measurement results. From the measured frequency response of the QLED and the calculated frequency response of the equivalent circuit, we are able to deduce the carrier lifetime in the active layer of the QLED. The availability of the equivalent circuit can facilitate the analysis of the electrical characteristics of QLEDs.
