Quantum Dot Light Emitting Devices (QD-LEDs) developed over the past three years demonstrate high external quantum efficiencies, saturated visible color emission, narrow-band infra-red emission, and a scalable fabrication technique. This recent development is a result of advancements in the chemistry of colloidal quantum dot synthesis and demonstrations of new fabrication methods for generating thin films of QDs. The talk will present the recent technical and physical highlights, and chart the way to the next generation of the QD-LED technology.
