Quantum dot displays

Sub-100-nanometre quantum-dot LEDs

Nature Photonics volume 20, pages 249–250 (2026) Cite this article

Subjects

A capillary-driven nanoimprint technology creates high-efficiency nanoscale quantum-dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) with sub-100-nm pixels, enabling ultrahigh resolutions of nearly 170,000 pixels per inch (PPI) for next-generation displays.
