In recent years, there have been significant advancements in light-emitting diodes (LEDs) incorporating halide perovskites, showcasing notable improvements in external quantum efficiencies [1,2]. Traditionally, PeLED fabrication follows a sandwich configuration similar to PSCs, with the active layer placed between injection electrodes. However, in 2016, Jumabekov et al. introduced a novel "back-contact" or "quasi-interdigitated back-contact" architecture for PSCs [3]. This design incorporates a continuous electron-selective layer (ESL) alongside hole-selective layer (HSL) microsized fingers, separated by a dielectric layer. This structure prevents light absorption within the ESL or HSL, potentially enhancing PSC efficiency. Additionally, the back-contact design allows electrode fabrication before active layer deposition, expanding perovskite emitter deposition methods and addressing leakage current issues caused by pinholes in the perovskite film [4]. In this study, we will present fabrication of perovskite LEDs with a back-contact architecture, employing MAPbBr3 as the active layer and SnO2 along with Ni/NiOx as back electrodes [5]. The fabricated back-contact PeLEDs exhibit a quantum efficiency of 0.015% and operate at remarkably low voltages, achieving a maximum luminance of 70 cd/m2 at just 3.2 V. These findings underscore the considerable potential of the developed back-contact PeLEDs for future applications in advanced display technologies and light communication systems.
