Quantum dots have made it possible to substantially increase color quality in LCD displays. However, these cadmium-based nanocrystals have proven to be harmful to the environment. Researchers are now developing a promising alternative: quantum dots based on indium phosphide.
The landscape is breathtaking. Because it is so real, you forget for a moment that the eagle circling the sky is not outside your window, but is instead on your television. Such realistic images are not only due to high resolution displays; the colors play a role as well. This is possible thanks to quantum dots (QDs), with a thickness of a few atoms...
