ResumoRecently, quantum dots (QDs) have been successfully developed as efficient color converters for light-emitting diodes (LEDs) display due to excellent optical properties of QDs. Herein, we demonstrate a new approach to form metal oxide layers (or metal oxide coating) on the exterior surface of gradient alloy QDs (the most advanced chemical architecture QDs developed thus far wherein the lattice parameter from the core to shell is changing in a gradient fashion) in order to improve the photochemical stability and photoluminescence efficiency. The resulting CdO-treated QDs are incorporated into polymer matrix films to fabricate a backlight unit as a part of display panel wherein CdO-treated gradient alloy QDs are utilized as color converters upon the blue-LED excitation. The fabricated 9.7 in. iPad 2 tablet liquid crystal display panel exhibited an excellent uniformity in terms of CIE chromaticity, luminance, and bright variation and superb durability test results (maintenance of ca. 110% brightness compared to initial value even after 3 weeks of operation).
