Background:
- Perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) offer excellent photoluminescence for display technologies.
- Existing PQD-based white LEDs suffer from low luminous efficiency and short operational lifetimes due to poor thermal and radiation stability.
- Current PQD LEDs achieve efficiencies around 50 lm W⁻¹ and lifetimes under 100 hours.
Purpose of the Study:
- To enhance the stability and performance of PQD-based white LEDs.
- To develop a novel PQD film with improved optical properties and durability.
- To demonstrate a high-performance white LED utilizing the new PQD material.
Main Methods:

- Characterization of the PQD paper's optical absorption, emission, and stability.
- Integration of the PQD paper with red K₂SiF₆:Mn⁴⁺ phosphor and blue GaN LED chips to create a white LED device.
Main Results:
- The novel PQD paper exhibits 91% optical absorption and intense green emission at 518 nm.
- Enhanced stability of PQDs is achieved through complexation with nanocellulose.
- The fabricated white LED demonstrates ultrahigh luminous efficiency (124 lm W⁻¹), a wide color gamut (123% NTSC), and an extended operational lifetime (240 h).
Conclusions:
