Abstract: A core-shell quantum dot including a core including a first semiconductor nanocrystal, the first semiconductor nanocrystal including zinc, tellurium, and selenium and a semiconductor nanocrystal shell disposed on the core, the semiconductor nanocrystal shell including zinc and selenium, sulfur, or a combination thereof and a production thereof are disclosed, wherein the core-shell quantum dot does not include cadmium, lead, mercury, or a combination thereof, wherein the core-shell quantum dot(s) includes chlorine, wherein in the core-shell quantum dot, a mole ratio of chlorine with respect to tellurium is greater than or equal to about 0.01:1 and wherein a quantum efficiency of the core-shell quantum dot is greater than or equal to about 10%.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides autotaxin (ATX) inhibitor compounds and compositions including said compounds. The present disclosure also provides methods of using said compounds and compositions for inhibiting ATX. Also provided are methods of preparing said compounds and compositions, and synthetic precursors of said compounds.

Abstract: Apparatus and a method for improving image quality in an image sensor, where a black level of a photographed image is calibrated and luminance of an image signal is expanded within the allowable range of luminance through knee correction for the image signal in which the black level is calibrated. Interpolation for restoring a dead pixel may be achieved before gamma correction for image signal.
