Semiconductor Nanocrystals for Light-Emitting and Display Applications, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues, 

In the field of information, displays are used everywhere. They are in our smartphones, laptops, TVs, cars, and will soon be extended to AR/VR technology. Nanocrystals are regarded as one of the most promising emitters for use in displays due to their tunable emission color, narrow emission peaks, and flexibility in device integration. Nanocrystal backlight technology have been brought to the forefront due to its use in new high-definition TVs over the past 3–5 years, and this technology is expected to be on the market within a few years. The application of nanocrystal-based electroluminescent technology and color conversion micro-LED is more difficult and has not yet achieved commercialization, but it is expected that the market space will be larger due to their superior performance after the breakthrough of related technologies. The present Special Issue, entitled “Semiconductor Nanocrystals for Light-Emitting and Display Applications”, will summarize the most recent progress and core technologies in this field, including, but not limited to, nanocrystal luminescent materials, quantum dot light-emitting diodes, color conversion micro-LEDs, chemical synthesis and photophysical properties, perovskite nanocrystals, and pixel patterning, as well as their full-color display applications. We expect that this multidisciplinary topic will provide new guidance for further light-emitting and display devices based on semiconductor nanocrystals.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Micromachines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2100 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
