A novel package structure has been developed to fabricate quantum-dot (QD) white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) by dispersing QDs into the backlight lens and integrating them with blue light-emitting diode to form white light. For this in-lens encapsulation structure, the luminous efficiency and lifetime of QD-WLEDs can reach 90 lm/W and 1000 h, which is 25 times longer than that of QD-WLEDs with on-chip encapsulation structure. Furthermore, a 32-inch prototype liquid crystal display TV shows a wide color gamut of 108% under the National Television Systems Committee standard with this in-lens encapsulation structure. The improvement performance should be attributed to providing a hermetic encapsulation environment preventing oxygen and water from reacting with the QDs and reducing the temperature of QDs due to in-lens package structure. Our results demonstrate that the in-lens solution can be a promising application in display backlight.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
