Quantum Dots Enhance LED Lighting


Tiny semiconductor crystals could produce better colors for lighting and computer displays.

Quantum dots are nanometer-size bits of semiconductor material, such as cadmium selenide, that fluoresce when excited by photons or electrons. By choosing a certain material and a certain size, researchers can precisely tune the wavelength of light emitted.
