Realization of 95% of the Rec 2020 color gamut in a highly efficient LCD using a patterned quantum dot film

Abstract

An optically efficient liquid-crystal display (LCD) structure using a patterned quantum dot (QD) film and a short-pass filter (SPF) was proposed and fabricated. The patterned QD film contributed to the generation of 95% in the area ratio (or 90% in the coverage ratio) of the Rec. 2020 color gamut. This was achieved by avoiding the problem of interaction between white backlight and broad transmittance spectra of color filters (CFs) as seen in a conventional LCD with a mixed QD film as a reference. The patterned QD film can maintain the narrow bandwidth of the green and the red QD colors before passing through the CFs. Additionally, the optical intensities of the red, green, and blue spectra were enhanced to 1.63, 1.72, and 2.16 times the reference LCD values, respectively. This was a result of separated emission of the red and green patterned QD film and reflection of the red and green light to the forward direction by the SPF.

P‐153: High Contrast Ratio LCD with an In‐cell Polarizer

“…So far, high CR (> 10,000:1) has been realized by adding an incell polarizer between LC layer and color filter array to decouple the depolarization effect. If quantum dot array is incorporated as the color filter, large color gamut could be realized simultaneously [12][13][14]. A potential concern is ambient light excitation for such a design [14].…”

Liquid crystal display and organic light-emitting diode display: present status and future perspectives

“…Such a configuration enables excellent image quality regardless of viewing angle; however, image blur induced by a strong diffuser should be carefully treated. (3) Use QD arrays as the color filters 20 , 150 , 151 , 152 . This design produces an isotropic viewing cone and high-purity RGB colors.…”

P‐96: Photoluminescence Quantum‐Dot Microstructure Array for LCD Backlights

“…LCDs dominate the display markets because of their various advantages such as high resolution, low power consumption, long lifetime, and low cost. Owing to significant developments in manufacturing technology, it has gradually become the most suitable structure for mass production of both large-sized displays and next-generation 4K-or 8K-resolution displays [1]. With the characteristic of passive light emission, LCDs need a backlight module (BLM) to serve as a plane light source, which affects the optical efficiency, brightness uniformity, color gamut, dynamic range, and viewing angle of LCDs [2].…”
