Nanocrystal Displays: Using Quantum Dots in Future Flat Screens
This is QD Vision’s first display — a monochromatic 32-by-64-pixel test bed for a technology Coe-Sullivan hopes will replace those used in today’s high-definition TVs. Thin and flexible, the next-generation display will be easy to see in sunlight and less power hungry than the one in your current laptop, he says.
Just when you thought it was safe to buy that flatscreen TV here comes another reason to hold off. The real kick in this display is how it shows colors. LCD’s have a backlight, this doesn’t. Each pixel in the display is made of three colors, red, blue and green. This is achived with nanoparticles called quantum dots allowing part of the pixel to be red, and another part to be blue, making a purple pixel with vibrant color. This design will make LCD displays seem dual and washed out, and even outperform CRT for color display. Did I mention they’re flexable? This just could be that digital newspaper that folds up into your pocket…Welcome to CrzyLand
