The patent US12010862B2 describes an innovative electroluminescent device that integrates a substrate, a first electrode, and a sophisticated emission layer containing luminescent nanostructures. A key feature of this device is the hybrid transport layer, which consists of an organic layer interspersed with inorganic nanostructures. This configuration ensures that the luminescent nanostructures are chemically isolated from the inorganic components, promoting stability and performance. The claims further specify that both the organic and inorganic materials can be soluble in common solvents, such as alcohol or acetone, enhancing the manufacturing process. Additionally, the organic layer may contain specific phosphonic oxide functional groups, which could contribute to the device's efficiency.

Moreover, the patent outlines the potential application of this electroluminescent device in display technology. It describes a display device featuring an array of pixels, each incorporating two electroluminescent devices capable of emitting different wavelengths of light. This dual-emission capability allows for a broader color spectrum, enhancing the display's visual quality. The claims also highlight the structural arrangement of the inorganic nanostructures within the organic layer, ensuring that the luminescent nanostructures remain effectively separated. Overall, the patent presents a detailed framework for advancing electroluminescent devices and their applications in modern display technologies.
