Abstract We present $dC/dV$ analysis based on the capacitance-voltage ($C$–$V$) measurement of quantum-dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs), and find that some key device operating parameters (electrical and optical turn-on voltage, peak capacitance, maximum efficiency) can be directly related to the turning points and maximum/minimum of the $dC/dV$ (versus voltage) curve. By the $dC/dV$ study, the behaviors such as low turn-on voltage, simultaneous electrical and optical turn-on process, and carrier accumulation during the device aging can be well explained. Moreover, we perform the $C$–$V$ and $dC/dV$ measurement of aged devices, and confirm that our $dC/dV$ analysis is correct for them. Thus, our $dC/dV$ analysis method can be applied universally for QLED devices. It provides an in-depth understanding of carrier dynamics in QLEDs through simple $C$–$V$ measurement.
