  • Patent number: 7935388
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a quantum-dot element utilizes a reaction chamber for evaporating or sputtering at least one electrode layer or at least one buffer layer on a substrate. A substrate-supporting base is located inside the reaction chamber for fixing the substrate. An atomizer has a gas inlet and a sample inlet. More specifically, the gas inlet and the sample inlet feed the atomizer respectively with a gas and a precursor solution having a plurality of functionalized quantum dots, and thereby form a quantum-dot layer on the substrate. The method for manufacturing a quantum-dot element forms a quantum dot layer with uniformly distributed quantum dots and integrates the processes for forming the quantum-dot layer, the buffer layer, and the electrode layer together in the same chamber.

  • Patent number: 7303937
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a quantum-dot element is disclosed. The method includes the following steps. First, a deposition chamber having at least one atomizer and a substrate-supporting base is provided. The atomizer is connected to a gas inlet and a sample inlet. Afterwards, a sample solution is prepared composed of a plurality of functionalized quantum dots dispersed in a solvent. Simultaneously, a substrate is placed on the substrate-supporting base in the deposition chamber. Finally, the sample solution and a gas are transferred into the atomizer through the sample inlet and the gas inlet respectively for generating quantum-dot droplets, which subsequently deposit on the substrate in the deposition chamber. The quantum-dot element manufactured by the present invention has a uniform distribution of quantum dots that have a small size and, therefore, the quality of the quantum-dot element can be substantially improved.

  • Patent number: 7192850
    Abstract: A doping method for forming quantum dots is disclosed, which includes following steps: providing a first precursor solution for a group II element and a second precursor solution for a group VI element; heating and mixing the first precursor solution and the second precursor solution for forming a plurality of II–VI compound cores of the quantum dots dispersing in a melting mixed solution; and injecting a third precursor solution for a group VI element and a forth precursor solution with at least one dopant to the mixed solution in turn at a fixed time interval in order to form quantum dots with multi-shell dopant; wherein the dopant described here is selected from a group consisting of transitional metal and halogen elements. This method of the invention can dope the dopants in the inner quantum dot and enhance the emission intensity efficiently.
