Developing low‐cost and high‐quality quantum dots (QDs) or nanocrystals (NCs) and their corresponding efficient light‐emitting diodes (LEDs) is crucial for the next‐generation ultra‐high‐definition flexible displays. Here, there is a report on a room‐temperature triple‐ligand surface engineering strategy to play the synergistic role of short ligands of tetraoctylammonium bromide (TOAB), didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB), and octanoic acid (OTAc) toward “ideal” perovskite QDs with a high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of >90%, unity radiative decay in its intrinsic channel, stable ink characteristics, and effective charge injection and transportation in QD films, resulting in the highly efficient QD‐based LEDs (QLEDs). Furthermore, the QD films with less nonradiative recombination centers exhibit improved PL properties with a PLQY of 61% through dopant engineering in A‐site. The robustness of such properties is demonstrated by the fabrication of green electroluminescent LEDs based on CsPbBr 3 QDs with the peak external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 11.6%, and the corresponding peak internal quantum efficiency (IQE) and power efficiency are 52.2% and 44.65 lm W −1 , respectively, which are the most‐efficient perovskite QLEDs with colloidal CsPbBr 3 QDs as emitters up to now. These results demonstrate that the as‐obtained QD inks have a wide range application in future high‐definition QD displays and high‐quality lightings.
