Quantum Dot Display Science and Technology presents all aspects of quantum dot (QD) based display technologies, divided into four general topic areas: the basic science of quantum dots, QD photoluminescent technologies, QD electroluminescent technologies, and other display related QD technologies. Composed of 14 chapters, this book includes a list of pedagogical features such as tables, illustrations, process flow charts, and more to provide active learning for the reader. This book also includes information on future quantum dot displays and the major milestones in the field.
Quantum Dot Display Science and Technology discusses topics including: - The basic physics and photophysics of QD, explaining why QD can offer better color and higher brightness - QD material systems and compositional families as well as principles and practices of QD synthesis - Quantum dot enhancement film and quantum dot color conversion for LCDs, OLEDs, and µLEDs - Quantum dot electroluminescent displays and QD-LED panel processes based on ink-jet printing and lithography - QD for lighting and photodetector applications - Future outlook for QD displays
Published in partnership with the Society for Information Displays (SID), Quantum Dot Display Science and Technology is the perfect resource for updated information on quantum dots and their applications for professionals working in displays, consumer electronics, and product design and development.
