Abstract: Embodiments of a display device are described. The display device includes a first sub-pixel with a first quantum dot (QD) film and a first filter element. The QD film receives both UV light and blue light and converts a portion of the received light to emit a secondary light different from the UV and blue light. The filter element is disposed on the quantum dot film and allows the secondary light to pass through the filter element, and the filter element blocks an unconverted portion of the received light from passing through the filter element. The second sub-pixel has a second filter element that allows blue light to pass through the second filter element, and the second filter element blocks the UV light from passing through the second filter element.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present application relate to the use of quantum dots mixed with spacer particles. An illumination device includes a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer, and an active layer disposed between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer. The active layer includes a plurality of quantum dots that emit light when an electric field is generated between the first and second conductive layers. The quantum dots are interspersed with spacer particles that do not emit light when the electric field is generated between the first and second conductive layers.
