High Quantum Efficiency Zn2+ Doped Lead Manganese Halide @PET Film Used for Wide Color Gamut Backlit Display

Organic-inorganic manganese halide with environmentally friendly properties has become a new candidate material for backlight display applications. In this article, tetraethylammonium bromide (C8H20N)(2)MnBr4 is synthesized by a simple room temperature evaporation method. The tetrahedral coordinated Mn2+ demonstrates a green emission peak at 523 nm and a commendable photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 81.7%. To improve its stability, different proportions of Zn2+ are incorporated, leading to the discovery of (C8H20N)(2)Mn0.95Zn0.05Br4 as the most stable variant with a high PLQY of 84.3%. Additionally, by utilizing a sandwich method and double-layer polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film encapsulation, the powder-to-binder ratio and thickness gradient are optimized, resulting in the ideal (C8H20N)(2)Mn0.95Zn0.05Br4@PET film with a powder-to-binder ratio of 1:2 and a thickness of 0.5 mm. Remarkably, the film exhibits superior stability against water, heat, and photo degradation. Finally, the light conversion film prepared from (C8H20N)(2)Mn0.95Zn0.05Br4@K2SiF6: Mn4+@PET composite material is applied to backlight display, and the color gamut covers 112% of NTSC 1953 and 83% of Rec. 2020. This study provides a feasible route for developing environmentally friendly, low-cost, and high-performance liquid crystal displays.
