1. A method of forming a light emitting device comprising:
- modifying a surface of an applicator, wherein modifying the surface of the applicator includes contacting the surface of the applicator with a composition selected to release at least a portion of the plurality of semiconductor nanocrystals from the applicator upon contact with a substrate;
wherein the plurality of semiconductor nanocrystals have no more than a 5% rms deviation from mean diameter, wherein the surface of the applicator includes a pattern,placing an solvent-free ink including a plurality of semiconductor nanocrystals on the modified surface of the applicator, wherein the plurality of semiconductor nanocrystals forms a monolayer;
contacting the modified surface of the applicator including a solvent-free ink to a substrate including a first electrode, thereby dry-transferring at least a portion of the plurality of semiconductor nanocrystals to the substrate wherein the plurality of semiconductor nanocrystals form a partial monolayer on the substrate;
arranging a second electrode opposed to the first electrode, and the plurality of semiconductor nanocrystals are disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode by contact printing;
placing a second solvent-free ink including a plurality of semiconductor nanocrystals on a surface of a second applicator; and
contacting the surface of the second applicator including a solvent-free second ink to the substrate, thereby dry-transferring at least a portion of the plurality of semiconductor nanocrystals to the substrate wherein the plurality of semiconductor nanocrystals form a partial monolayer on the substrate,wherein the first plurality of semiconductor nanocrystals have an emission wavelength distinguishable from the second plurality of semiconductor nanocrystals and the first and second pluralities of semiconductor nanocrystals are applied in non-overlapping predefined regions of the substrate and producing a color saturation attributed to a decreased intensity of organic emission and increased intensity of semiconductor nanocrystal emission, leading to a larger ratio between semiconductor nanocrystal electroluminescence to organic electroluminescence.
