Quantum dot (QD) materials have played a crucial role in advancing display technology, specifically in enhancing color accuracy, brightness, and energy efficiency when compared to conventional display technologies like liquid crystal displays (LCDs). The integration of QD color converters (QDCC) in self-emissive microLED displays has proven instrumental in boosting overall performance and addressing challenges associated with RGB-chip technologies. The stringent criteria for QDs in microLED applications arise from the demanding QDCC patterning process. Overcoming these challenges, giant composition-gradient QDs have emerged as a viable solution. Furthermore, the aspect ratio of QDCC proves to be a key factor, varying with pixel density applications that necessitate distinct QDCC film thicknesses to achieve optimal efficiency. To delve deeper into the subject, the current status of QDCC film reliability is explored, with a particular focus on its application in microdisplay technologies. Addressing these considerations is essential for advancing the capabilities and reliability of quantum dot materials in the ever-evolving landscape of display technology.
