Researchers from DGIST, UNIST, and IBS in South Korea have developed a groundbreaking technique called double-layer dry transfer printing that can create ultrahigh-definition screens for display technologies. This technique allows for the production of highly efficient LEDs with quantum dots (QLEDs) which are crucial for improving the immersive experience of AR, VR, and wearable technologies.
Quantum dots offer advantages such as high color purity and wide color range, but the development of QD patterning processes for high-definition pixels and efficient QLEDs has been challenging. The double-layer dry transfer printing technique reduces interfacial resistance, enabling the fabrication of light-emitting devices that are both ultrahigh-definition and high efficiency. This has resulted in an external quantum efficiency of 23.3%, a significant improvement.
The researchers were able to achieve pixelated patterns with 25,526 PPI and demonstrated the feasibility of mass-producing wearable QLEDs using this technique. This breakthrough opens up possibilities for the development of full-color QD displays for next-generation technologies, enhancing the resolution and color reproduction in VR and AR applications.
The study, published in Nature Photonics, showcases the potential of quantum dots in smart wearable devices and the importance of high-resolution displays in advancing wearable, mobile, and Internet of Things technologies. The researchers aim to further explore the application of quantum dots to improve color reproduction and color purity in smart devices.
