Quantum dots (QDs) offer size-dependent tunability across the infrared to ultraviolet range with narrow emission linewidths and high color purity, making them highly attractive for next-generation light-emitting devices. Quantum dot lightemitting diodes (QLEDs) further combine precise spectral control with scalable, low-cost solution processing, positioning them as strong candidates for wearable, stretchable, and AR/VR display technologies. However, conventional single-emission QLEDs suffer from charge imbalance, efficiency roll-off, and limited operational lifetime, necessitating new device architectures. Tandem QLEDs, which vertically stack multiple emissive layers (EMLs) connected by charge generation layers (CGLs), provide a compelling solution by enabling higher luminance, improved charge balance, and longer lifetime at equivalent current density. The CGL serves as the interfacial region mediating charge injection and generation between adjacent EMLs, directly determining device efficiency and stability. This review highlights recent progress in CGL engineering, categorizing representative designs into planar heterojunction, inorganic-based, and dipole-based configurations. Comparative analysis of their formation mechanisms, material systems, and process compatibilities reveals evolving charge-control strategies that extend beyond material selection. These insights establish design principles for next-generation tandem QLEDs with enhanced efficiency, durability, and manufacturability.

Tandem or multijunction solar cells (MJSCs) can convert sunlight into electricity with higher efficiency (η) than single junction solar cells (SJSCs) by dividing the solar irradiance over sub-cells having distinct bandgaps. The efficiencies of various common SJSC materials are close to the edge of their theoretical efficiency and hence there is a tremendous growing interest in utilizing the tandem/multijunction technique. Recently, III-V materials integration on a silicon substrate has been broadly investigated in the development of III-V on Si tandem solar cells. Numerous growth techniques such as heteroepitaxial growth, wafer bonding, and mechanical stacking are crucial for better understanding of high-quality III-V epitaxial layers on Si. As the choice of growth method and substrate selection can significantly impact the quality and performance of the resulting tandem cell and the terminal configuration exhibit a vital role in the overall proficiency. Parallel and Series-connected configurations have been studied, each with its advantage and disadvantages depending on the application and cell configuration. The optimization of both growth mechanisms and terminal configurations is necessary to further improve efficiency and lessen the cost of III-V on Si tandem solar cells. In this review article, we present an overview of the growth mechanisms and terminal configurations with the areas of research that are crucial for the commercialization of III-V on Si tandem solar cells.

The purpose of this paper is to help those who research and develop solar cells in university laboratories and industrial sites understand the most basic and important quantum efficiency measurement and analysis method in analyzing solar cell performance. Starting with the definition of quantum efficiency, we calculate the theoretical current density according to the band gap of the solar cell material from the solar spectrum, along with a detailed introduction to the measurement and analysis methods, and measure and analyze the theoretical current density and quantum efficiency. We discuss in depth how to analyze the performance of solar cells through Quantum efficiency measurement and analysis of solar cells is a very useful method that can give intuition to solar cell performance analysis as it can analyze solar cells according to depth (front emitter, bulk, rear surface). Students and researchers who study solar cells with a deep understanding of theoretical current density and quantum efficiency measurement analysis are expected to use it as a basis for analyzing solar cell performance.

We studied white organic light-emitting diodes using blue fluorescent and red phosphorescent materials.White single OLEDs were fabricated using SH-1 : BD-2 (3 vol.%) and CBP : Ir(mphmq)2(acac) (2 vol.%) as emitting layer (EML). The white single OLED using SH-1 : BD-2 (3 vol.% 8 nm) / CBP : Ir(mphmq)2(acac) (2vol.% 22 nm) as emitting layer showed maximum current efficiency of 8.8 cd/A, Commission Internationale del``Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.403, 0.351) at 1,000 cd/㎡, and variation of CIE coordinates with (0.402 ±0.012, 0.35 ± 0.002) from 500 to 3,000 cd/㎡. The white tandem OLED using SH-1 : BD-2 (3 vol.% 12 nm) /CBP : Ir(mphmq)2(acac) (2 vol.% 18 nm) showed maximum efficiency of 19.6 cd/A, CIE coordinates of (0.354,0.365) at 1,000 cd/㎡, and variation of CIE coordinates with (0.356 ± 0.016, 0.364 ± 0.002) from 500 to 3,000 cd/㎡. Maximum current efficiency of the white tandem OLED was more twice as high as the single OLED. Our findings suggest that tandem OLED was possible to produce improved efficiency and excellent color stability.

We studied optical and electrical properties of two-wavelength white tandem organic light-emitting diodes using red and blue materials. White fluorescent OLEDs were fabricated using Alq3 : Rubrene (3 vol.% 5 nm) / SH-1 : BD-2 (3 vol.% 25 nm) as emitting layer (EML). White single fluorescent OLED showed maximum current efficiency of 9.7 cd/A, and tandem fluorescent OLED showed 18.2 cd/A. Commission Internationale de l``Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of single and tandem fluorescent OLEDs was (0.385, 0.435), (0.442, 0.473) at 1,000 cd/㎡, respectively. White hybrid OLEDs were fabricated using SH-1 : BD-2 (3 vol.% 10 nm) / CBP : Ir(mphmq)2(acac) (2 vol.% 20 nm) as EML. White single hybrid OLED showed maximum current efficiency of 7.8 cd/A, and tandem hybrid OLED showed 26.4 cd/A. Maximum current efficiency of tandem hybrid OLED was more twice as high as single OLED. CIE coordinates of single hybrid OLED was (0.315, 0.333), and tandem hybrid OLED was (0.448, 0.363) at 1,000 cd/㎡. CIE coordinates in white tandem OLEDs compared to those for single OLEDs observed red shift. This work reveals that stacked white OLED showed current efficiency improvement and red shifted emission than single OLED.
