Abstract:
In this report, a blue anti-transmission film (BATF) has been introduced to improve the color-conversion efficiency (CCE) and the stability of quantum dot (QD) films. The results indicate that the CCE can be increased by as much as 93% using 15 layers of BATFs under the same QD concentration. Therefore, the same CCE can be achieved using BATF-QD hybrid films with a lower QD concentration when compared with standard QD films. The hybrid and QD films with the same CCE of 60% were aged at an environmental temperature of 25°C and with a 10 mA injection current light-emitting diode source. The CCE and luminous efficacy that are gained by the hybrid film increased by 42.8% and 24.5%, respectively, when compared with that gained by the QD film after aging for the same time period of approximately 65 h. In addition, the hybrid film can effectively suppress the red-shift phenomenon of the QD light spectra, as well as an expansion of the full-width at half maximum. Consequently, these BATF-QD hybrid films with excellent optical performance and stability show great potential for illumination and display applications.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
