QLED RGB Color Patterning Technology (Phase 1 - NSERC I2I)
EF 2024-25
Résumé
We invented a new color patterning technology for colloidal quantum-dot light emitting devices (QLEDs) capable of producing 15um-sized red (R), green (G) and blue (B) QLEDs side-by- side on the same substrate, hence of enabling the fabrication QLED flat panel displays (FPDs) with high resolution (i.e. =460 ppi). Experimental trials were conducted and verified that the technology is successful for RGB color patterning of QLEDs. A proof of concept technology demonstrator with R, G and B devices, with 2 mm resolution, was successfully implemented, demonstrating the technology satisfies readiness level TR4 requirements. In this project we will a) verify technology capability to produce 15um size devices and make any design refinements as needed, and b) create RGB EL device modules of 15um line widths.
