Electroluminescent device and semiconductor nanoparticle

Abstract

An electroluminescent device including a first electrode, a second electrode, and a light emitting layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, the light emitting layer including semiconductor nanoparticle(s), wherein the semiconductor nanoparticle(s) does not include cadmium, wherein the semiconductor nanoparticle(s) includes a polycyclic organic ligand including functional group linked to a Ccondensed aromatic group, the functional group configured to link to the semiconductor nanoparticle(s), and the Ccondensed aromatic group including at least three cyclic moieties that includes a first aromatic ring and a second aromatic ring, and the first aromatic ring shares two carbon atoms with a first adjacent cyclic moiety and the second aromatic ring shares two carbon atoms with the first adjacent cyclic moiety, or the second aromatic ring shares two carbon atoms with a second adjacent cyclic moiety condensed with the first adjacent cyclic moiety.
