Researchers at the University of Florida have developed a new manufacturing process to produce low cost quantum dot based LEDs.
The team at the university's department of materials science and engineering combined two studies to develop the process, one looking at the improvement of OLED lighting, and another on quantum dots. They created a high performance hybrid of organic and QD layers, using a patented device structure allowing for the entire process to be produced by spin coating, rather than using vacuum disposition as well, reducing costs, reports R&D.
The university is also researching other development methods for large area production, such as roll-to-roll processes.
