Quantum dot light enhancement substrate and lighting device including same
摘要
說明書
In certain embodiments, a host material comprises a solvent-cast resin. A polymer such as a polyurethane resin, a maleic resin, a polyamide resin, polymethyl methacrylate, polyacrylate, polycarbonate, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, hydroxyethylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, copolymers containing monomers forming these resins, and the like can be dissolved in solvents known to those skilled in the art. Upon evaporation of the solvent, the resin forms a solid host material for the semiconductor nanoparticles. In certain embodiments, the color conversion material CCM including quantum dots (e.g., semiconductor nanocrystals) and a host material can be formed from an ink composition comprising quantum dots and a liquid vehicle, wherein the liquid vehicle comprises a composition including one or more functional groups that are capable of being cross-linked. The functional units can be cross-linked, for example, by UV treatment, thermal treatment, or another cross-linking technique readily ascertainable by a person of ordinary skill in a relevant art. In certain embodiments, the composition including one or more functional groups that are capable of being cross-linked can be the liquid vehicle itself. In certain embodiments, it can be a co-solvent. In certain embodiments, it can be a component of a mixture with the liquid vehicle. In certain embodiments, the ink can further include scatterers.
In certain embodiments, quantum dots (e.g., semiconductor nanocrystals) are distributed within the host material as individual particles. Preferably the quantum dots are well-dispersed in the host material.
