  • Publication number: 20210363422
    Abstract: To provide Cd-free chalcopyrite-based quantum dots with a narrow fluorescence FWHM and a high fluorescence quantum yield. The quantum dots of the present invention contain AgInxGa1-xSySe1-y or ZnAgInxGa1-xSySe1-y (where 0?x<1 and 0?y?1) and exhibit fluorescence properties including a fluorescence FWHM of less than or equal to 45 nm and a fluorescence quantum yield of greater than or equal to 35% in the green wavelength range to the red wavelength range.

  • Patent number: 11124703
    Abstract: Provided is a Cd-free blue fluorescent quantum dot with a narrow fluorescence FWHM. The quantum dot does not contain cadmium and its fluorescence FWHIM is 25 nm or less. The quantum dot is preferably a na.nocrystal containing zinc and selenium or zinc and selenium and sulfur. Further, the quantum dot preferably has a core-shell structure in which the nanocrystal serves as a core and the surface of the core is coated with a shell.

  • Publication number: 20210189230
    Abstract: To provide a quantum dot-containing resin sheet or film, a method for producing the same, and a wavelength conversion member that can, in particular, solve the problem of aggregation of the quantum dots and the problem with the use of a scattering agent, suppress a decrease in light conversion efficiency, and improve the light conversion efficiency of a resin molded product containing quantum dots. The quantum dot-containing resin sheet or film of the present invention includes a stack of a plurality of resin layers, at least one of the resin layers containing quantum dots, and the plurality of resin layers is integrally molded through co-extrusion.

  • Publication number: 20200212256
    Abstract: The present invention seeks to provide cadmium-free quantum dots with a narrow fluorescence FWHM. The quantum dot does not contain cadmium and its fluorescence FWHM is 30 nm or less. The quantum dot is preferably a nanocrystal containing zinc and tellurium or zinc and tellurium and sulfur or zinc and tellurium and selenium and sulfur. Further, the quantum dot preferably has a core-shell structure in which the nanocrystal serves as a core and the surface of the core is coated with a shell.
