Colloidal quantum dot (QD)-based light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) have achieved peak efficiency comparable to organic light-emitting diodes and are now poised for the development of full-color displays. Simultaneously, the potential of QLEDs is being explored for lasers, AR/VR, lighting, and industrial light sources demanding extended brightness. This study focuses on comprehensive strategies to enhance the brightness of QLEDs beyond the boundary of conventional display applications. Introduction of graded confinement potential into core/shell heterostructured QDs successfully mitigated nonradiative Auger recombination of charged or multiexcitons, often generated under high current density. A tailored top-emission device architecture on Si substrates enabled to extend the range of operational current over 10 A/cm2 . Our QLEDs achieved high brightness (>50 mW) comparable to class-3B lasers.
