Opportunities and challenges in CsPbX3@Glasses@Film with High Quality for LCD by Process Optimization towards commercialization

Abstract

Although backlight display screens based on CdSe quantum dots (QDs) have basically solved the remaining problem of small display gamut, its high preparation cost limits its commercial development. In contrast, perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) with narrow band emission, simple preparation and low cost have made leaps and bounds in next-generation backlit displays luminescent material. However, the instabilities are the main issues to solve before we can apply these materials in modern displays. Researchers have precipitated perovskite NCs in inorganic glass substrates and compounded them with PDMS films for backlighting, but the important factors for commercialization have been ignored: Long-term stability under strong blue light irradiation and preparation cost. In this work, a unique melt-water quenching method combined with composition control was applied to prepare a series of glass powder. The optimal photoluminescence (PL) emission and color coordinates in the color coordinates of glasses powder were elaborately regulated by heat treatment temperature control and the introduction of rare earth Tb. Moreover, the passivation of the glass powder surface through special water treatment greatly improves its stability under long time blue light exposure. After irradiation under 20000 cd/m2 blue light (460 nm) for 500 h, the PL intensity retention rate reaches 85% of commercial CdSe film. The red and green-emitting NCs glasses powder with high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) and stability were combined with PET, PS and PDMS to form a composite film, afterwards, combined with Liquid crystal display (LCD)module shows a fuller color image. Finally, after comparison, PS film was demonstrated to be the most suitable choice for commercialization backlighting.
