[0073] S2, Liquid Bridge De-wetting: (e.g., ...) Figure 3 As shown, the printing template 3 and / or substrate 2 are moved so that the surface of the micropillars of the printing template 3 rests above the quantum dot droplet array in the l-th row, resulting in a sandwich-like structure. Initially, l is 1. The surface of the micropillars is hydrophilic, and the sidewalls are hydrophobic. The sandwich-like structure causes the liquid bridges to dewet. At rest for t... 停 After a certain period of time, the l-th row of quantum dot micro / nano arrays was obtained;

[0088] Example 2

[0089] like Figures 1-2 As shown, a controllable large-area three-color quantum dot micro / nano array fabrication method combines superwetting self-assembly technology with inkjet printing technology. First, a micro / nano array printing template 3 with a specific pattern is prepared. Then, superhydrophobic modification with fluorosilane is performed to obtain a micropillar surface with asymmetric wettability. By precisely controlling the rotation rate of the micro-template 3, the movement rate of the substrate 2, and the inkjet printing rate 1, the large-area precise fabrication of a three-color quantum dot micro / nano array is achieved. The specific steps are as follows:

[0090] 1) Using photolithography, a printing template 3 with a micropillar structure is obtained. This technical solution takes a cylinder with 9 columns of micropillars and each column with 5 micropillar models as an example.

[0091] 2) Place the microcolumn template 3 and 10 ml of perfluorodecyltriethoxysilane FAS in a vacuum desiccator for asymmetric modification and keep at 90℃ for 2 h.

[0092] Assume the initial droplet position differs from the dewetting initiation position by ma0 (a0 is the sum of the silicon pillar diameter and the array spacing, where a0 is 10 μm; t 转 t represents the time for template 3 to rotate and base 2 to move. 停 (For the time of immersion) When m=2, then after (t0+t) 转 (Time) When the red droplet reaches the dewetting initiation position, t0 = t 停 +t 转 .

[0093] 3) such as Figure 3 As shown, a CdSe / ZnS quantum dot solution with spectra located at 460nm, 540nm, and 620nm, at a concentration of 10mg / ml, was dispersed in n-hexane solvent and injected into an inkjet printer. Starting from t=0, when t=3lt0, a three-primary-color quantum dot droplet array was obtained by inkjet printing until the required array number (l=0,1,2,3…) was completed.

[0094] When the n=1th iteration occurs (n=1,2,3…)

[0095] 4) such as Figure 4 As shown, the red droplet dewetting occurs when t Rn0 =t0+t 转 At that time, the red droplet enters the dewetting process. Due to the asymmetric modification of the silicon pillar surface, the quantum dot solution preferentially undergoes dewetting at the top of the silicon pillar. After t 停 After time, i.e., t Rn At time 2t0, the red quantum dot array completes the dewetting process.

[0096] 5) such as Figure 5 As shown, the green droplets dewetting occurs when t Gn0 =2t0+t 转 At that time, the green droplets enter the dewetting process. Due to the asymmetric modification of the silicon pillar surface, the quantum dot solution preferentially undergoes dewetting at the top of the silicon pillar. After t 停 After time, i.e., t Gn At time 3t0, the green quantum dot array completes the dewetting process.

[0097] 6) such as Figure 6 As shown, the blue droplet dewetting occurs when t Bn0 =3t0+t 转 At that time, the blue droplets entered the dewetting process. Due to the asymmetric modification of the silicon pillar surface, the quantum dot solution preferentially underwent dewetting at the top of the silicon pillar. After t 停 After time, i.e., t Bn =t Gn At time +t0, the blue quantum dot array completes the dewetting process.

[0098] 7) Repeat steps 4) - 6) until the desired number of arrays is complete, such as Figures 7-8 as shown,

[0099] R:start t Rn0 = (3n - 3)to + (m - 1)to + t 转 end t Rn = (3n - 2)to + (m - 1)to;

[0100] G:start t Gn0 = (3n - 2)to + (m - 1)to + t 转 end t Gn = (3n - 1)to + (m - 1)to;

[0101] B:start t Bn0 = (3n - 1)to + (m - 1)to + t 转 end t Gn = 3nto + (m - 1)to.

[0102] The quantum dot solution in the embodiment can be an RGB three-color solution, or other three different color solutions, including but not limited to small molecule crystal solution, organic solution, polymer solution, etc.; the color types can be more than three, and theoretically, a uniform array of any number of colors can be obtained; for the same material, the array area and quality can be effectively enlarged.
