Solution Overview

Problem

The variability in photoelectric properties among different batches of quantum dot materials synthesized using the same formulation leads to deviations in luminescence wavelength and full width at half-maximum, complicating the process and reducing production efficiency in quantum dot light-emitting diodes.

Innovation Solution

A quantum dot light-emitting diode and film are manufactured using quantum dots with minimal differences in photoelectric properties, specifically by combining quantum dots with photoluminescence peak wavelengths differing by no more than 10 nm, and adjusting mass fractions and full widths at half-maximum to enhance fluorescence and narrow the electroluminescence peak.
