Abstract:
In the present day, the information technologies and telecommunications sector
continually increase their demand for low cost, low power consumption, high
performance electroluminescent devices for display applications. Furthermore,
general lighting applications, such as white light and large array colour
displays, would also benefit from an increase in the overall efficiency. Several
technologies are being investigated to fulfill these needs, such as organic
light emitting diodes (OLED), polymeric light emitting diodes (PLED) and field
effect emission devices. A new and promising technology is light emitting
devices (LEDs) based on nanostructured materials. With organic LEDs (OLEDs)
already making an impact on the market in an increasingly large number of
applications, hybrid technologies based on organic/inorganic nano-composites are
a potential the next step. The incorporation of highefficiency fluorescent
semiconductor nanoparticles has been shown to have a beneficial effect on device
performance, [1] modify the colour output from the device 2 and provide a
simplified route to generation of LED type devices. [3]
