We review recent advances in quantum dot (QD)-enhanced liquid crystal displays (LCDs),
including material formulation, device configuration, and system integration. For the LCD …

The cylindrical quasi-one-dimensional shape of colloidal semiconductor nanorods (NRs)
gives them unique electronic structure and optical properties. In addition to the band gap …

Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was combined with UV–vis
absorption spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy to determine the size …

Semiconductor nanorods can emit linear-polarized light at efficiencies over 80%.
Polarization of light in these systems, confirmed through single-rod spectroscopy, can be …

In backlighting systems for liquid crystal displays, conventional red, green, and blue (RGB)
light sources that lack polarization properties can result in a significant optical loss of up to …
