Solution Approach 1:

The quantum dot layer is designed to utilize natural light from the environment (such as ambient light or light from the display panel itself) to enhance color reproduction. The AIGS core quantum dots with shell layers can absorb and re-emit light, providing self-enhancing color conversion without requiring additional external energy input, thereby reducing overall energy consumption.
