[0034] Some embodiments of the present invention provide a light-conversion material comprising light-conversion hybrid particles, a first coating material coating the light-conversion hybrid particles, and a second coating material formed on the first coating material and coating the light-conversion hybrid particles. The light-conversion hybrid particles comprise a matrix and a plurality of quantum dots uniformly dispersed in the matrix. The first coating material comprises silicon oxide, and in the FTIR spectrum of the first coating material, at 939 cm -1 Absorbance (A 939 ) and 1000~1150cm -1 The peak absorbance (A 1000~1150 ) ratio α (absorbance ratio α: A 939 / A 1000~1150 ) is less than or equal to 0.8.

[0035] The above-mentioned light conversion material will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 Schematic diagrams of light conversion materials 1 according to some embodiments of the present invention are shown. Figure 1 As shown, the photoconversion material 1 includes photoconversion doped particles 10, a first coating material 12 coating the photoconversion doped particles 10, and a second coating material 14 formed on the first coating material 12 and coating the photoconversion doped particles 10 and the first coating material 12.

When the particle size of the photoconversion material 1 is greater than 50 μm, the particle size production process is difficult to operate. When the particle size of the photoconversion material 1 is less than 0.2 μm, the photoconversion material does not provide sufficient protection for the coated photoconversion doped particles 10.

When the proportion of quantum dots 101 in the light-conversion dopant particle 10 is too high, the light efficiency of the light-conversion dopant particle 10 is poor.

In one embodiment, the ligand may be represented by the following chemical formula (I).

[0043] XR 1 -R 2 Chemical formula (I)

[0044] In the chemical formula (I), X represents a thiol group (-SH), an amine group (-NH2) and / or a carboxylic acid group (-COOH); R 1 represents substituted or unsubstituted C 1-20 Alkylene; R 2 represents a cross-linkable functional group. Examples of cross-linkable functional groups include, but are not limited to, vinyl, allyl, siloxane, and epoxy groups.

[0046] The substituted C 1-20 Alkyl refers to an unsubstituted C 1-20 At least one hydrogen in the alkyl group is replaced by a substituent. 1-20 Alkylene refers to an unsubstituted C 1-20 A group in which at least one hydrogen in an alkylene group is replaced by a substituent. The substituent may be a substituted or unsubstituted C 1-20 an alkyl group, a cross-linkable functional group, or any combination thereof.

[0047] The light-conversion hybrid particles 10 of the present invention are formed by cross-linking ligands formed on the surface of quantum dots 101 with cross-linking monomers of the matrix 103, followed by a granulation process. Therefore, the light-conversion hybrid particles 10 of the present invention exhibit properties such as high cross-linking, high temperature resistance, and acid and alkali resistance, and further block water and / or oxygen from contacting the quantum dots 101, thereby enhancing the stability of the quantum dots 101. Furthermore, during the subsequent process of forming the first coating material 12, the light-conversion hybrid particles 10 of the present invention prevent the ligands modified on the surface of the quantum dots 101 from falling off due to catalysts, water, or an acidic environment, thereby protecting the quantum dot surface from damage and maintaining the quantum efficiency and luminous efficiency of the quantum dots.

[0048] The first coating material 12 includes silicon oxide. In some embodiments, the first coating layer can be formed on the light conversion hybrid particle 10 in a layered structure and coat the entire light conversion hybrid particle 10, such as Figure 1 As shown. In one embodiment, the first coating material 12 may be a silicon oxide (SiO2) layer formed on the photoconversion doped particles 10 by an acid-base two-step method. Specifically, the first coating material 12 can be formed by first generating a silicon oxide sol that tends to grow into a linear chain structure on the photoconversion doped particles 10 under acidic catalytic conditions; then adding an alkaline compound and making the pH value of the solution greater than 7, so that the silicon oxide sol tends to grow in a granular form. In an alkaline environment, the granular growth structure will interact with the existing linear chain structure, thereby changing the nanostructure of the silicon oxide sol, thereby forming a highly dense silicon oxide layer on the photoconversion doped particles 10. In the FTIR spectrum of the silicon oxide layer as the first coating material 12, at 939cm -1 Absorbance (A 939 ) and 1000~1150cm -1 The peak absorbance (A1000~1150 ) ratio α (absorbance ratio α: A 939 / A 1000~1150 ) can be less than or equal to 0.8.

[0049] In one embodiment, the thickness of the first coating material 12 having a layered structure may be approximately 20 to 2000 nm. In another embodiment, the thickness of the first coating material 12 having a layered structure may be approximately 50 to 1500 nm, 50 to 1000 nm, 100 to 1000 nm, 150 to 1750 nm, 150 to 900 nm, 75 nm, 125 nm, 250 nm, 300 nm, 350 nm, 400 nm, 450 nm, 550 nm, 650 nm, 850 nm, 1050 nm, 1250 nm, 1450 nm, 1650 nm, or 1850 nm, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In this embodiment, if the thickness of the first coating material 12 is too thin, for example, less than 50 nm, the first coating material 12 may not effectively prevent the quantum dots 101 in the light-converting doped particles 10 from being degraded by water and / or gas. If the thickness of the first coating material 12 is too thick, for example, greater than 2000 nm, the quantum efficiency of the light conversion material 1 may be reduced.

[0050] The second cladding material 14 includes a metal oxide. In some embodiments, the second cladding material 14 can be formed in a layered structure on the first cladding material 12 and clad the light conversion hybrid particles 10 and the first cladding material 12, such as Figure 1 As shown. In one embodiment, the second coating material 14 may be a metal oxide layer formed on the light conversion hybrid particle 10 by atomic layer deposition. The metal oxide layer formed by atomic layer deposition may have the advantages of being thin and dense. Examples of metal oxide layers may include, but are not limited to, aluminum oxide (Al2O3) layers. In one embodiment, the thickness of the second coating material 14 having a layered structure may be approximately 5 to 50 nm. In another embodiment, the thickness of the second coating material 14 may be approximately 5 to 45 nm, 5 to 40 nm, 10 to 40 nm, or 10 to 30 nm, but the present invention is not limited thereto. If the thickness of the second coating material 14 is too thin, for example, less than 5 nm, the second coating material 14 may not effectively prevent the quantum dots 101 in the light conversion hybrid particle 10 from being affected by water and / or gas and deteriorating. If the thickness of the second coating material 14 is too thick, for example, greater than 50 nm, the quantum efficiency of the light conversion material 1 may be reduced.

[0051] In some embodiments, a stacked layer structure covering the second cladding material 14 may be further formed on the second cladding material 14 of the photoconversion material 1. The stacked layer structure may fill Figure 1The surface defects of the photoconversion material 1 shown are shown, thereby further improving the water and oxygen resistance of the photoconversion material. The stacked layer structure includes multiple layers of a first coating material and a second coating material stacked alternately with each other. The thickness of the first coating material in the stacked layer structure can be approximately 10-100 nm, 10-90 nm, 10-80 nm, 10-70 nm, 10-60 nm, 10-50 nm, 10-40 nm, 10-30 nm, 15-100 nm, 15-90 nm, 15-80 nm, 15-70 nm, 15-60 nm, 15-50 nm, 15-40 nm, 15-30 nm, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The thickness of the second coating material in the stacked layer structure can be approximately 5-20 nm, 5-15 nm, 5-10 nm, 5-9 nm, 5-8 nm, 6-20 nm, 6-15 nm, 6-10 nm, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the stacked layer structure includes three or fewer layers of the first cladding material and three or fewer layers of the second cladding material. If the stacked layer structure has more than three layers of the first cladding material or the second cladding material, the transmittance of the photoconversion material will be reduced and the manufacturing cost of the photoconversion material will be increased.

[0052] Figure 2 Schematic diagrams of photoconversion materials 2 according to other embodiments of the present invention are shown. Similar to photoconversion material 1, photoconversion material 2 includes photoconversion doping particles 20, a first cladding material 22 that encapsulates the photoconversion doping particles 20, and a second cladding material 24 formed on the first cladding material 22 and encapsulating the photoconversion doping particles 20 and the first cladding material 22. The first cladding material 22 and the second cladding material 24 in photoconversion material 2 are identical to the first cladding material 12 and the second cladding material 14 in photoconversion material 1. Photoconversion material 2 differs from photoconversion material 1 in that its photoconversion doping particles 20 further include diffusion particles 205. Therefore, the following detailed description will only focus on the photoconversion doping particles 20 of photoconversion material 2, and will not further describe the first cladding material 22 and the second cladding material 24 of photoconversion material 2.

[0053] like Figure 2As shown, the light conversion doping particles 20 may include a matrix 203, a plurality of quantum dots 201 uniformly dispersed in the matrix 203, and diffusion particles 205. In one embodiment, the particle size of the light conversion doping particles 20 may be approximately 0.1 to 40 μm. In another embodiment, the particle size of the light conversion doping particles 20 may be approximately 0.2 to 38 μm, 0.5 to 35 μm, 1 to 32 μm, 2 to 30 μm, 5 to 25 μm, 7.5 μm, 10 μm, 12.5 μm, 15 μm, 20 μm, 25 μm, or 32.5 μm, but the present invention is not limited thereto. When the particle size of the light conversion doping particles 20 exceeds 40 μm, the light extraction efficiency of the light conversion doping particles 20 decreases, and it is easy to cause uneven light spots on the light-emitting surface of the light-emitting component containing the light conversion doping particles 20, resulting in visible uneven brightness lines or spots. Based on 100 wt% of the total weight of the light-conversion dopant particle 20, the matrix 203 may account for approximately 30-89 wt%, the quantum dots 201 may account for approximately 5-50 wt%, and the diffusing particles 205 may account for approximately 0.5-20 wt%. In another embodiment, the matrix 203 may account for approximately 30-80 wt%, the quantum dots 201 may account for approximately 15-50 wt%, and the diffusing particles 205 may account for approximately 1-15 wt%. In another embodiment, the matrix 203 may account for approximately 30-70 wt%, the quantum dots 201 may account for approximately 20-50 wt%, and the diffusing particles 205 may account for approximately 1-10 wt%. In another embodiment, the matrix 203 may account for approximately 30-60 wt%, the quantum dots 201 may account for approximately 10-40 wt%, and the diffusing particles 205 may account for approximately 1-10 wt%. If the proportion of quantum dots 201 in the light-conversion dopant particle 20 is too low, the light-conversion dopant particle 20 may fail to achieve the desired color conversion color. When the proportion of quantum dots 201 in the light-conversion doping particles 20 is too high, the quantum dots 201 may experience self-absorption, leading to an increase in the amount of quantum dots 201 used. When the proportion of matrix 203 in the light-conversion doping particles 20 is too low, the matrix 203 is insufficiently cross-linked, resulting in poor protection of the quantum dots 201 by the light-conversion doping particles 20. When the proportion of matrix 203 in the light-conversion doping particles 20 is too high, the proportion of quantum dots 203 is reduced, and the light-conversion doping particles 20 may not achieve the desired color conversion color.

[0054] Matrix 203 may be a resin containing a cross-linking monomer. The materials that may be used to form matrix 203 are the same as those that may be used to form matrix 103, and therefore are not further described herein. Quantum dot 201 may be made of any suitable material. The materials that may be used to form quantum dot 201 are the same as those that may be used to form quantum dot 101, and therefore are not further described herein. The ligands formed on the surface of quantum dot 201 may include ligands that can cross-link with the cross-linking monomers of matrix 203. Similarly, depending on the material of matrix 203, the ligands that may be formed on the surface of quantum dot 201 are the same as those that may be formed on the surface of quantum dot 101, and therefore are not further described herein.

[0055] The diffusion particles 205 may comprise metal oxide, silicon oxide, or any combination thereof. Examples of metal oxides in the diffusion particles 205 may include, but are not limited to, titanium oxide and zirconium oxide. In one embodiment, the particle size of the diffusion particles 205 may be approximately 10 to 500 nm. In another embodiment, the particle size of the diffusion particles 205 may be approximately 10 to 450 nm, 10 to 400 nm, 15 to 350 nm, 15 to 300 nm, 20 to 250 nm, 25 to 250 nm, 20 to 200 nm, or 25 to 250 nm, but the present invention is not limited thereto. When the particle size of the diffusion particles 205 is less than or equal to 500 nm, the diffusion efficiency of the diffusion particles 205 in the visible light range is optimal. When the particle size of the diffusion particles 205 is less than 10 nm, the diffusion particles 205 have essentially no light diffusion capability. When the particle size of the diffusion particles 205 exceeds 500 nm, the diffusion particles 205 may cause a light blocking effect, reducing the light output efficiency of the light conversion doping particles 20. By further including the diffusion particles 205 and the light conversion material 2, the light conversion doping particles 20 can have better optical properties.

[0056] The photoconversion doped particles 20 of the photoconversion material 2 are also formed by crosslinking the ligands formed on the surface of the quantum dots 201 with the crosslinking monomers of the matrix 203, followed by a granulation process. Similar to the photoconversion doped particles 10 of the photoconversion material 1, the photoconversion doped particles 20 of the photoconversion material 2 also exhibit properties such as high crosslinking, high temperature resistance, and acid and alkali resistance. They further block water and / or oxygen from contacting the quantum dots 201, thereby enhancing the stability of the quantum dots 201. Similarly, in some embodiments, a stacked layer structure may be formed on the second coating material 24 of the photoconversion material 2, coating the second coating material 24. The materials and structure of the stacked layer structure are described above and are not further described here.

The second coating material 34 may have a layered structure having a thickness of approximately 5-50 nm and is formed on the spherical coating structure to coat the light-conversion dopant particles 30 and the first coating material 32. In one embodiment, the thickness of the second coating material 34 may be approximately 5 to 50 nm. In another embodiment, the thickness of the second coating material 34 may be approximately 5 to 45 nm, 5 to 40 nm, 10 to 40 nm, or 10 to 30 nm, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Otherwise, the photoconversion material 3 has a similar structure, preparation method, particle size, composition, and stacked layer structure to the photoconversion material 1, so these details of the photoconversion material 3 will not be further described below.

[0058] Figure 4Schematic diagrams of light-conversion materials 4 according to other embodiments of the present invention are shown. The light-conversion material 4 includes light-conversion doping particles 40, a first coating material 42 coating the light-conversion doping particles 40, and a second coating material 44 formed on the first coating material 42 and coating the light-conversion doping particles 40 and the first coating material 42. Similarly, in some embodiments, a stacked layer structure coating the second coating material 44 may be further formed on the second coating material 44 of the light-conversion material 4. The light-conversion doping particles 40 may include a matrix 403, a plurality of quantum dots 401 uniformly dispersed in the matrix 403, and diffusion particles 405. In this embodiment, a plurality of light-conversion doping particles 40 may be coated in the first coating material 42, and a spherical coating structure is formed with the light-conversion doping particles 40. The light-conversion doping particles 40 are uniformly distributed in the spherical coating structure. The particle size of the light-conversion doping particles 40 may be approximately 0.1 to 5 μm. In another embodiment, the particle size of the light-converting dopant particles 40 may be approximately 0.2-4.8 μm, 0.3-4.5 μm, 0.5-5 μm, 1-5 μm, 1.5-4.5 μm, 1.8-3.8 μm, 2 μm, or 3.6 μm, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The particle size of the spherical coating structure may be approximately 0.1-40 μm, for example, approximately 0.2-38 μm, 0.5-35 μm, 1-32 μm, 2-30 μm, 5-25 μm, 7.5 μm, 10 μm, 12.5 μm, 15 μm, 20 μm, 25 μm, or 32.5 μm, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The second coating material 44 may have a layered structure with a thickness of approximately 5-50 nm and is formed on the spherical coating structure to coat the light-converting dopant particles 40 and the first coating material 42. In one embodiment, the thickness of the second coating material 44 may be approximately 5 to 50 nm. In another embodiment, the thickness of the second coating material 44 may be approximately 5 to 45 nm, 5 to 40 nm, 10 to 40 nm, or 10 to 30 nm, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Otherwise, the photoconversion material 4 has the same structure, preparation method, particle size, composition, and stacked layer structure as the photoconversion material 2, so these details of the photoconversion material 4 will not be further described below.

[0059] The present invention is Figures 1 to 4 The photoconversion materials 1 to 4 are shown as examples, but the photoconversion materials of the present invention are not limited to Figures 1 to 4 The light conversion materials 1 to 4 are shown. For example, in one embodiment, the first coating material of the light conversion material can simultaneously coat the light conversion mixed particles 2 containing diffusion particles and the light conversion mixed particles 1 not containing diffusion particles.

[0060] Some embodiments of the present invention provide a display device including the above-mentioned light conversion material.

[0061] Some embodiments of the present invention provide a lighting device including the above-mentioned light conversion material.

[0062] Some embodiments of the present invention provide methods for preparing the aforementioned light-conversion materials. Figure 5 A flow chart of a method 5 for preparing a light-converting material according to some embodiments of the present invention is shown. Figure 5 As shown, the preparation method 5 of the photoconversion material includes step S501 of forming photoconversion hybrid particles, step S503 of forming a first coating material on the surface of the photoconversion hybrid particles by an acid-base two-step method, and step S505 of forming a second coating material on the first coating material by an atomic layer deposition method.

[0063] In step S501, a ligand capable of cross-linking with a cross-linking monomer is first selected based on the cross-linking monomer of the matrix. The ligand is then modified onto quantum dots to obtain modified quantum dots. The modified quantum dots, the matrix, and an initiator are thoroughly mixed to obtain a photoconversion material mixture. The photoconversion material mixture is then irradiated with light or heated to cross-link the quantum dots and the matrix. After the cross-linking reaction, the resulting product is centrifuged and washed with a solvent to obtain the photoconversion hybrid particles of the present invention. In one embodiment, the photoconversion material mixture may further include diffusing particles.

[0064] Then, in step S503, a silicon oxide layer with a thickness of 50 to 2000 nm is formed on the light conversion mixed particle obtained in step S501 by a two-step acid-base method. Step S503 can be repeated multiple times until a silicon oxide layer with the desired thickness is formed. The silicon oxide layer serves as the first coating material to coat the entire light conversion mixed particle. FTIR analysis of this first coating material reveals that in the FTIR spectrum of the first coating material, at wave number 939 cm -1 Absorbance (A 939 ) and wave numbers 1000~1150cm -1 The peak absorbance (A 1000~1150 ) ratio α (absorbance ratio α: A 939 / A 1000~1150 ) is less than or equal to 0.8.

[0065] Finally, in step S505, a metal oxide layer with a thickness of 5 to 50 nm is formed on the first coating material by atomic layer deposition to complete the preparation of the light conversion material. Step S505 can be repeated multiple times until a metal oxide layer with the desired thickness is formed. The metal oxide layer formed by atomic layer deposition has the characteristics of being thin and dense, so it can provide water and / or oxygen resistance while maintaining the light extraction efficiency of the light conversion mixed particles. The final light conversion material can have the characteristics as described above. Figures 1 to 4The structure shown in FIG. 1 is not limited thereto. For example, step S503 and / or step S505 may be repeated multiple times to form a stacked layer structure covering the second coating material. In one embodiment, step S503 and / or step S505 may be repeated no more than three times, and may be repeated once, twice, or three times, for example.

After heating for 1 hour, the temperature was lowered to room temperature to obtain a reaction solution. The reaction solution, toluene, and 95% ethanol were added to a centrifuge tube and repeatedly centrifuged at 6000 rpm for 10 minutes. Finally, the toluene and 95% ethanol were removed by vacuum concentration to obtain quantum dot powder 1 having an indium phosphide-zinc sulfide core-shell structure.

[0071] 12 mmol of zinc acetate (Zn(CH3COO)2), 0.864 mol of cadmium oxide (CdO), and 47.5 mol of octadecylphosphonic acid were mixed to obtain a mixture. The mixture was heated to 120-160°C to obtain a mixed solution. 20 mL of tri-n-octylphosphine solution was added to the mixed solution, and the mixture was heated to 250-270°C. When the temperature was reached, 6 mL of tri-n-octylphosphine solution, 10.68 mmol of sulfur, and 0.3 mmol of selenium were quickly added. After reacting for 10 minutes, the mixture was cooled naturally to obtain cadmium selenide (CdSe@ZnS) quantum dots. The CdSe quantum dots were washed with toluene. 95% ethanol was added to precipitate the CdSe quantum dots, and the supernatant was then removed. The CdSe quantum dots were dispersed in toluene and then 95% ethanol was added. The mixture was centrifuged and washed three times repeatedly. After drying, cadmium selenide-zinc sulfide core-shell structure quantum dot powder 2 was obtained.

A cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) aqueous solution (water:CTAB weight ratio of 20:0.5) was added dropwise to this mixed solution under rapid stirring. Simultaneously, the mixed solution was irradiated with 365nm UV LED light to induce a cross-linking reaction during stirring. Finally, the reaction product was washed with 95% ethanol by centrifugation to complete the preparation of the photoconversion hybrid particles.

[0113] The light conversion materials of Examples 1-7 and Comparative Examples 1-5 were mixed with silica gel at a weight ratio of 20:80 to form LEDs. These LEDs were then illuminated at 100 mA for testing. The test results are shown in Table 2 below. Figure 6 FTIR spectra of the first cladding material of the photoconversion materials according to Examples 3 to 5 and Comparative Examples 1, 3, and 5 are shown. Figure 6 In the FTIR spectra of the light conversion materials of Examples 3 to 5 and Comparative Examples 1, 3 and 5 shown, the wavelength of the light conversion materials at 939 cm -1 Absorbance (A 939 ) and wave numbers 1000~1150cm -1 The peak absorbance (A 1000~1150 The ratio of α is shown in Table 2 below. In the FTIR spectrum, the SI-OH bond is at wave number 939 cm -1 Absorption, and Si-O-Si at wave number 1000~1150cm -1 Light absorption. Therefore, a smaller α value indicates a lower Si-OH content in the first coating material, indicating a higher structural density of the first coating material. LED relative intensity @96h and LED relative intensity @216h refer to the percentage of the initial luminous brightness of the LED lit at 100mA after 96 hours and 216 hours, respectively, relative to the initial luminous brightness of the LED lit at 100mA.

In particular, the light-conversion material comprising modified CdSe quantum dots and 30nm Al₂O₃ maintained over 90% of its initial brightness even after 216 hours, demonstrating that the light-conversion material of the present invention protects the quantum dots from oxidation and moisture degradation. Therefore, display devices and / or lighting devices incorporating the light-conversion materials of the present invention also have a longer service life.
