RESUMEN
Display technology is being revolutionized by cutting-edge transparent displays that can provide visual information on the screen while allowing the surrounding environment to be visible. In this report, a new method is proposed for patterning displays based on perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) on glass surfaces. A glass substrate with a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) constraint layer is patterned using laser-induced plasma etching, and then a PQDs film is spin-coated on the etched sample. The PQDs pattern on the glass substrate is obtained after peeling off the PVDF constraint layer. The thickness of the film is obtained by carrying out simulations. The plasma output from different metal targets is recorded and analyzed to select the most suitable parameters and materials for improvement of the patterning accuracy. The transparent pattern display of PQDs is realized with an accuracy of 10-20 µm and a burial depth of about 1 µm. This method allows PQDs to be encapsulated under the substrate surface, which decreases the susceptibility of environmental impact. Additionally, encapsulation prevents the quantum dots from leaking out and causing environmental pollution. The proposed method has potential in the design of transparent displays and anti-counterfeiting applications.
RESUMEN
Ultraviolet photodetectors (UV PDs) have always been the research focus of semiconductor optoelectronic devices due to their wide application fields and diverse compositions. As one of the best-known n-type metal oxides in third-generation semiconductor electronic devices, ZnO nanostructures and their assembly with other materials have received extensive research. In this paper, the research progress of different types of ZnO UV PDs is reviewed, and the effects of different nanostructures on ZnO UV PDs are summarized in detail. In addition, physical effects such as piezoelectric photoelectric effect, pyroelectric effect, and three ways of heterojunction, noble metal local surface plasmon resonance enhancement and formation of ternary metal oxides on the performance of ZnO UV PDs were also investigated. The applications of these PDs in UV sensing, wearable devices, and optical communication are displayed. Finally, the possible opportunities and challenges for the future development of ZnO UV PDs are prospected.
RESUMEN
Inorganic halogen perovskite quantum dots not only have high fluorescence quantum efficiency, but also can emit polarized light in solution or thin film. These excellent performances make perovskite quantum dots promising to be used in next-generation displays. In this study, we develop laser direct writing technology to improve the emitted light polarization of CsPbClBr2 quantum dot film. Without using an additional polarizer, we prove that the polarization degree is maximumly increased by about 56%, and the reasons are analyzed from three perspectives: laser scanning space, laser power, and film thickness. In addition, the lifetime of the fluorescence is also greatly improved after laser treatment. The results we obtain provide the possibility for production of a new generation of displays.
