  • Publication number: 20240142767
    Abstract: Exemplary reflective display components are described. These reflective display components may include a microwell layer having a first and a second quantum dot well that each include a plurality of nanoparticles configured to emit a color of light. The microwell layer further has a third well. The reflective display components further include an electrowetting layer positioned above the microwell layer, where the electrowetting layer is operable to independently adjust an intensity of light emitted from the first and second quantum dot wells and the third well in the microwell layer.

  • Patent number: 11360298
    Abstract: Exemplary reflective display devices and components are described. The devices and components may include a microwell layer having a plurality of quantum dot wells. Each quantum dot well of the plurality of quantum dot wells includes a reflective layer lining an interior wall of the well, and a plurality of nanoparticles configured to emit a color of light. The reflective display components may also include an electrowetting layer positioned above the microwell layer. The electrowetting layer may be operable to independently adjust an intensity of light emitted from each quantum dot well of the plurality of quantum dot wells in the microwell layer. The reflective display components may further include at least one of a light guide layer positioned above or below the electrowetting layer and one or more color filters positioned above at least one of the quantum dot wells.

  • Publication number: 20220149250
    Abstract: Exemplary pixel structures may include a pixel structure of a display device panel stack. The structures may include a first panel. The first panel may include a plurality of ultraviolet light sources disposed on a backplane. The structures may also include a second panel. The second panel may be coupled with the first panel. The second panel may have an inner surface facing the ultraviolet light sources. The second panel may include a transparent substrate and a down-conversion layer. The down-conversion layer may be disposed overlying the transparent substrate. The down-conversion layer may be configured to down-convert ultraviolet light into visible light. The plurality of ultraviolet light sources and the inner surface of the second panel may be separated by a distance of at least 2 ?m.
