  • Title: White lighting device from composite films embedded with hydrophilic Cu(In, Ga)S2/ZnS and hydrophobic InP/ZnS quantum dots.
    Author: Kim JH, Yang H.
    Journal: Nanotechnology; 2014 Jun 06; 25(22):225601. PubMed ID: 24807376.
    Abstract:
    Two types of non-Cd quantum dots (QDs)-In/Ga ratio-varied, green-to-greenish-yellow fluorescence-tuned Cu-In-Ga-S (CIGS) alloy ones, and red-emitting InP ones-are synthesized for use as down-converters in conjunction with a blue light-emitting diode (LED). Among a series of Ga-rich CI1-xGxS/ZnS core/shell QDs (x = 0.7, 0.8, and 0.9), CI0.2G0.8S/ZnS QD is chosen for the hydrophobic-to-hydrophilic surface modification via an in-situ ligand exchange and then embedded in a water-soluble polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). This free-standing composite film is utilized as a down-converter for the fabrication of a remote-type white QD-LED, but the resulting bi-colored device exhibits a cool white light with a limited color rendering index property. To improve white light qualities, another QD-polymer film of hydrophobic red InP/ZnS QD-embedding polyvinylpyrrolidone is sequentially stacked onto the CI0.2G0.8S/ZnS QD-PVA film, producing a unique dual color-emitting, flexible and transparent bilayered composite film. Tri-colored white QD-LED integrated with the bilayered QD film possesses an exceptional color rendering property through reinforcing a red spectral component and balancing a white spectral distribution.
