Study on the Color Compensation Effect of Composite Orange-Red Quantum Dots in WLED Application

Quantum dots (QDs) as emerging light-converting materials show the advantage of enhancing color quality of white light-emitting diode (WLED). However, WLEDs employing narrow-emitting monochromic QDs usually present unsatisfactory color rendering in the orange region. Herein, composite orange-red QDs...

Sumario:Quantum dots (QDs) as emerging light-converting materials show the advantage of enhancing color quality of white light-emitting diode (WLED). However, WLEDs employing narrow-emitting monochromic QDs usually present unsatisfactory color rendering in the orange region. Herein, composite orange-red QDs (composite-QDs) are developed through mixing CdSe/ZnS-based orange QDs (O-QDs) and red QDs (R-QDs) to compensate the orange-red light for WLEDs. We investigated the effect of self-absorption and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) process in composite-QDs on the spectral controllability and fluorescent quenching in WLEDs. The concentration and donor/acceptor ratios were also taken into account to analyze the FRET efficiency and help identify suitable composite-QDs for color compensation in the orange-red light region. As the result, the optimized composite-QDs effectively improve the color rendering index of the WLED compared with monochromatic QDs.
