Quantum dots are nanoparticles that are currently most commonly found in displays, but researchers have managed to leverage the tech to detect wavelengths of light on a sensor. The team argues the tech is capable of replacing CMOS sensors.
Quantum Dot Technology
Quantum dot, or QLED, technology uses a panel of phosphorescent crystals that react to light and electricity to enhance the image quality on televisions. These quantum dots are, individually, extremely small — less than 500 nanometers in size — and can glow in a range of colors that is determined by what atoms are found in each. As Viewsonic explains, instead of using pure white backlights, a television with QLED tech will instead emit red or green when struck by a blue light, which means more highly saturated and accurate colors than a LED screen without quantum dots.
Nanoco Group PLC (LON:NANO) leads the world in the research, development and large-scale manufacture of heavy metal-free nanomaterials for use in displays, lighting, vertical farming, solar energy and bio-imaging.
