Abstract
Non-carrier injection (NCI) mode is an emerging driving mode for light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with numerous advantages. Revealing the relationship between the current and the applied alternating voltage in mathematical formulas is of great significance for understanding the working mechanism of NCI-LEDs and improving device performance. In this work, a theoretical model of the relationship between NCI-LED current and time-varying voltage is constructed. Based on the theoretical model, the real-time current is derived, which is consistent with the experimental results. Key parameters that can improve device performance are discussed, including voltage amplitude, frequency, equivalent capacitance, and LED reverse current. The theory presented here can serve as an important guidance for the rational design of the NCI-LEDs.
