The invention relates to a matrix of electroluminescent organic material having quantum dots embedded therein. Electrodes provide electrons and holes to the matrix forming excitons to be transferred to the quantum dots. The invention provides transfer molecules on the quantum dots facilitating the transfer of excitons from the electroluminescent organic material to the quantum dots, by first transferring them to the transfer molecules.
