Perovskite quantum dots (PeQDs) are seen as the credible alternative to traditional QDs ascolor converter in liquid crystal display (LCD). Unfortunately, PeQDs sufferfrom instability and color separation, and the prepared PeQDs enhanced films(PQDFs) need the protection of expensive barrier layers, which significantly increases price and limits their application. Herein, large‐area yellow monolithic PQDF is fabricated with both green CsPbBr3 and red CsPbBr1I2QDs encapsulated in the dual matrices of inorganic glass and polypropylene (PP) via an industrialized melt extruding & rolling method. The PQDF shows high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 92% and narrow full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 19 nm (green) and 33 nm (red). Importantly, the bare PQDF without barrier layers can pass harsh aging test at 85 °C/85% RH and reach anoperating T90 lifetime over 1000 h. Finally, a white backlit unit is designed by coupling yellow monolithic PQDF with blue light guide panel, and the constructed prototype display shows superior color rendering performance forits narrow green/red emissions, reaching a color gamut of 110% National Television System Committee (NTSC). This work provides a novel and easy‐to‐industrialize route to prepare PQDFs to realize their commercial application in backlit display. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Robust amorphous glass protected CsPbBr3 (CsPbBr3@glass) perovskite quantum dots (PeQDs) with ultra‐pure green emission and superior long‐term stability are highly desirable for developing wide‐color‐gamut liquid crystal displays. However, most of the reported CsPbBr3@glass nanocomposites are subject to low external quantum efficiency (EQE). This work demonstrates that ZrO2 additive has an "accumulation" effect on the borosilicate glass network structure to promote in situ nucleation/growth of PeQDs inside glass rather than self‐crystallization. This effect is beneficial in reducing surface defects, improving the quality of PeQDs, and thus boosting radiative recombination of excitons. As a consequence, the as‐prepared CsPbBr3@glass shows a record EQE of up to 75% and can pass the accelerated aging tests at 85 °C/85% RH for 1000 h and blue light irradiation over 2000 h. Finally, a prototype display using CsPbBr3@glass‐based straight‐down backlit unit is designed and gains more favorable responses in blind selection tests for its high brightness of 2647 cd m−2 and high color purity of 88%. The findings will pave the way for realizing the commercial application of CsPbBr3@glass nanocomposite in PeQDs‐converted backlit display. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The complex and high‐precision patterning of perovskite quantum dots (PeQDs) is of vital importance for exploring their new functionalities and device applications. In this work, a strategy based on the combination femtosecond (fs) laser‐irradiation and humidity‐control is reported to construct patterns of cyan CsPb(Cl/Br)3 PeQDs in a transparent glass medium. Benefiting from their ionic crystal feature and low formation energy, CsPb(Cl/Br)3 PeQDs can be locally crystallized and decomposed via fs laser irradiation without further heat‐treatment. More notably, it is found that a water molecule is able to affect the growth of CsPb(Cl/Br)3 PeQDs in glass. By modulation of relative humidity in air, the selectively decomposed perovskite structure is spontaneously regenerated, and the highly emissive CsPb(Cl/Br)3 PeQDs can be in situ manufactured in the confined glass region. This allows for reversible luminescence from the same patterns of laser printing‐erasing‐recovering, and the process can be repeated for multiple cycles without destruction of optical performance and robustness. The results provide a flexible method to develop new encryption/decryption technology for information security and anti‐counterfeiting. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Currently, narrowband light‐convertor is critically urgent for preeminent color representation in lighting and display fields, however, the development of target materials still remains challenging. Herein, glass ceramic (GC) composite based on in situ glass crystallization, where the condense glass network structure acts as effective obstructors for long distance ion diffusion, is elaborately designed to inhibit activators' multi‐sites occupation for acquiring narrowband emitting. Following this strategy, an unprecedented narrowband blue emission of Eu2+‐activators with a peak at 447 nm and full‐width of half maximum (FWHM) of ≈30 nm is developed in a new type of Sr5(PO4)3Cl (SPOCl) GC composite. The Eu2+‐activators' hindered diffusion inside the GC composite makes preferential and limit occupation of the [Sr1O9] sites, enabling narrowband blue luminescence. Furthermore, the GC composite highlights remarkable performance in high‐power violet‐excitable full‐spectrum lighting and transparent display (TD) prototype fields, due to its high color purity (≈98.1%), photoluminescence quantum field (PLQY, ≈80.5%) and thermal stability (≈82.1%@150 °C). This work not only promotes the profound understanding of the relationship between light manipulation and glass crystallization, but also paves the way toward the implementation of high‐quality lighting and display of GC composites.

CsPbX 3 (X = Cl, Br, I) perovskite quantum dots (QDs) have attracted extensive attention due to their great application prospects in the photoelectronic field. However, the poor long-term stability still limits their practical use. In this work, a whole series of CsPbX 3 QDs were precipitated in a germanate glass matrix by a melt quenching method. The emission wavelength can be tunable in the entire visible spectral region by adjusting of the halide ions and the thermal treatment process. The photoluminescence quantum yield of CsPbBr x I 3-x QDs glass can reach up to 38.24%. The exciton binding energies of CsPbBr x Cl 3-x , CsPbBr 3 and CsPbI 3 QDs glass are about 67 meV, 160 meV and 290 meV, respectively. Additionally, the influence of the thermal treatment temperature on photoluminescence properties of CsPbBr x I 3-x QDs glass was investigated in detail. These results will be of benefitting to their practical applications, such as display devices and WLEDs. • A whole series of CsPbX 3 (X = Cl, Br, I) QDs were precipitated in germanate glass matrix. • Emission wavelength can be tunable in the whole visible spectral region by adjusting the halide ions. • Exciton binding energy of CsPbX 3 QDs glass increases as the halide ions change from Cl to I. • The obtained QDs glass can be potential applications in WLEDs, display devices, etc. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
