19. PL quantum efficiency defines the ratio between the intensity of the emitted light and the intensity of the incident light. Here, we used PL efficiency rather than EL efficiency, since EL values involve processes such as charge injection efficiencies that could not be explained by the property changes of EL materials alone.
