  • Patent number: 10775671
    Abstract: A display device includes a light emitter comprising a set of light emitter portions, wherein at least one light emitter portion of the set is configured to emit light with an excitation wavelength, and a color conversion layer including a set of conversion layer portions. At least one conversion layer portion of the set comprises a film comprising a solid polymer composition that includes luminescent crystals of perovskite structure, which are selected from compounds of formula (I): M1aM2bXc (I), wherein M1 represents Cs, M2 represents Pb, and X independently represents anions selected from the group consisting of Cl, Br, I, cyanide, and thiocyanate. The luminescent crystals are of size between 3 nm and 3000 nm, and emit light of a wavelength in response to excitation by the light emitted by at least one corresponding light emitter portion of the set, wherein the excitation wavelength is shorter than the wavelength.

  • Patent number: 10326058
    Abstract: A luminescent component includes a first element comprising a first solid polymer composition, wherein the first solid polymer composition includes first luminescent crystals, wherein the first luminescent crystals are of the perovskite structure, and are selected from compounds of formula (I): M1aM2bXc, wherein M1 represents Cs, optionally doped with up to 30 mol % of one or more other metals having coordination number 12, M2 represents Pb, optionally doped with up to 30 mol % of one or more other metals having coordination number 6, X independently represents anions selected from the group consisting of Cl, Br, I, cyanide, and thiocyanate. The first luminescent crystals are of size between 3 nm and 3000 nm, and emit light of a first wavelength in response to excitation by light with a wavelength shorter than the first wavelength. An encapsulation including a polymer or an inorganic matrix encloses the first element.

  • Patent number: 10294420
    Abstract: A luminescent component comprises a first film comprising a first solid polymer composition and a second film comprising a second solid polymer composition. The first solid polymer composition comprises first luminescent crystals. The second solid polymer composition comprises second luminescent crystals. The first luminescent crystals are of size between 3 nm and 3000 nm, and emit red light in response to excitation by light with a shorter wavelength. The second luminescent crystals are of size between 3 nm and 3000 nm, and emit green light in response to excitation by light with a shorter wavelength. Said luminescent component is particularly suited for the application in LCD-backlight color conversion.
