Samsung has recently hired away professor Changhee Lee from Seoul National University to become a VP of Research according to an article on… Continue reading Samsung Changes the QLED Landscape

Perovskite Quantum Dots: The Future? or just a fad? By now you have almost certainly heard a thing or two about perovskites either in quantum dot (QD) form or in larger crystallite sizes. Display geeks love them because they have incredibly narrow linewidth, they’re easy to make, and have tunable properties. In some ways they… Continue reading Perovskites Quantum Dots: The Future of Just a Fad?

Quantum Dots for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner at QD2018 The International Conference on Quantum Dots is held every two years at locations around the world and brings together scientists from a wide range of quantum dot communities working on both fundamental physics and chemistry, as well as applied technologies that benefit from this exciting class… Continue reading Quantum Dots for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner at QD2018

Quantum Dots do more than just emit light At a fundamental level displays have done the same thing for centuries. They convert electricity into light which is then transformed into an image. But let us not forget about the other side of this technology that happens first. Images must be captured by a camera before… Continue reading Quantum Dots Do More Than Just Emit Light​
