Quantum Dots for Display Applications.

This article offers a materials-chemistry perspective for colloidal quantum dots (QDs) in the field of display, including QD-enhanced liquid-crystal-display (QD-LCD) and QD-based light-emitting-diodes (QLEDs) display. The rapid successes of QDs for display in the past five years are not accidental but have a deep root in both maturity of their synthetic chemistry and their unique chemical, optical, and optoelectronic properties. This article intends to discuss the natural match of QD emitters for display and chemical means to eventually bring about their full potential.
