Quantum Materials and their potential in Display Industry

Quantum material have been introduced into display consumer products in recent years. The use of such Quantum materials serves major trends in the display industry such as requirement for better color performance.

Quantum materials are semiconductor nanocrystals which have unique and tunable optical properties due to their small nano-scale size compared to the respective bulk material. They absorb incoming light with a short wavelength and emit light with very narrow spectral bandwidth at a longer wavelength, like green or red color, depending on the size of the particle and its composition. This makes them suitable for novel display applications which can provide an extended color range (color gamut) as well as improved energy efficiency.

Quantum materials can be used for color conversion in different forms for display applications. For example, they can be placed in a film which is part of the LCD backlight. Another promising application is integration of quantum materials as color converting layer within the display module. Their narrow emission also makes Quantum materials promising candidates for future electroluminescence based devices.

The talk will describe various aspects of development of Quantum materials towards new high-end displays.
