Abstract: A white LED with an improved structure for high light emitting efficiency is provided. The white LED includes a light source device and a phosphor containing light emitting nanoparticles and an inorganic phosphor which emit white light by being excited by the light source.

Abstract: Provided is a photo-luminescence (PL) LCD including: electrodes that are disposed on bottom and top surfaces of front and rear substrate and create an electric field in liquid crystals (LCs); a nano-dot (ND) PL layer that is disposed on the bottom surface of the front substrate and emits light when irradiated with ultraviolet (UV) light, and a UV backlight unit that is located behind the rear substrate and supplying UV light to the ND PL layer. The UV backlight unit is excited by blue UV light having a wavelength range of 360 to 460 nm to emit light. The PD LCD having the above-mentioned structure suppresses absorption of UV light by LC and degradation of the LC while providing high light efficiency.

Abstract: An energy conversion film and a quantum dot film which contain a quantum dot compound, an energy conversion layer including the quantum dot film, and a solar cell including the energy conversion layer. The films act as cut-off filters blocking light of a particular energy level using the light absorption and emission effects of quantum dots and can convert high energy light to low energy light. The efficiency of a solar cell may be improved by providing the cell with a film that converts light above the spectrum-responsive region to light in the cell's spectrum-responsive region. The absorption wavelength region of the films can be broadened by providing the quantum dot compound in a variety of average particle sizes, for example, by providing a mixture of a first quantum dot compound having a first average particle size and a first quantum dot compound having a second average particle size.

Abstract: A photoreceptive layer including heterogeneous dyes is provided. The dye fill density is enhanced and light absorption is achieved at a broad wavelength range, which enables the beneficial utilization of the photoreceptive layer in a dye-sensitized solar cell.

Abstract: A high temperature (on the order of about 90° C. or above) non-aqueous synthetic procedure for the preparation of substantially monodisperse IV-VI semiconductor nanoparticles (quantum dots) is provided. The procedure includes first introducing a first precursor selected from the group consisting of a molecular precursor of a Group IV element and a molecular precursor of a Group VI element into a reaction vessel that comprises at least an organic solvent to form a mixture. Next, the mixture is heated to a temperature of about 90° C. or above and thereafter a second precursor which is different from the first precursor and is selected from the group consisting of a molecular precursor of a Group IV element and a molecular precursor of a Group VI element is added into the heated mixture.
