Quantum dot (QD) displays have attracted significant attention as next generation display technologies due to their narrow emission bandwidth and freely tunable emission wavelengths. However, current QD-LCDs still suffer from substantial optical losses caused by the color filters, while QD-OLEDs face limitations such as short device lifetime and high fabrication cost.
To address these issues, this paper proposes a blue light absorbing dye doped liquid crystal-polymer film. This film can be fabricated by doping a blue absorbing dye into a polymer network liquid crystal (PNLC) system fabricated via polymerization-induced phase separation (PIPS). This structure dynamically transmits or blocks incident blue LED backlighting via voltage, allowing for controllable emission intensity of the QD color conversion layer (CCL).
As a result, the photoluminescence contrast ratio (CR) of the QD CCL was enhanced by up to 30.1% at 3 V/um. We expect that this approach will offer a new pathway to overcome multiple challenges of QD-based displays and provide a promising strategy for next-generation display design.
