1. Introduction

With the recently launched Radiant, a graphical user interface (GUI) for Atlas-based TCAD simulations, the entry barrier for inexperienced users has been lowered. In particular, the use of guided simulation tools, for both experienced and novice researchers, can speed up the development cycle. Light emitting diodes (LEDs) have caught the attention of the scientific community for many years, especially organic-based light emitting diodes (OLEDs) and the emerging quantum dot-based light emitting diodes (QD-LEDs). As well as the implementation of quantum dot (QD) technology, both organic and inorganic materials have been combined to achieve high-efficiency hybrid light emitting diodes (hyLEDs). This article features the implementation of a simplified 1D simulation of hyLEDs based on QD technology using Radiant software.
