Quantum Dots in LED and Advanced Display Technologies

Dear Colleagues,

Quantum dots (QDs) are semiconductor nanomaterials with size-tunable emission, narrow full-width at half maximum, and high photoluminescence quantum yield, making them ideal candidates for next-generation display and lighting technologies. Their integration has enabled significant progress in quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs), color-conversion layers for micro-LED/mini-LED displays, and other advanced display platforms that demand high resolution, wide color gamut, and energy efficiency.

This Special Issue will highlight the latest advances in the synthesis, characterization, and device integration of quantum dots for LED and advanced display applications. Topics of interest include new synthetic strategies for high-stability QDs, surface engineering for improved optoelectronic performance, scalable fabrication techniques such as inkjet printing, and innovative device architectures. Contributions that bridge fundamental material design, theoretical modeling, and practical device implementation are especially encouraged.

By gathering state-of-the-art studies, this Special Issue will showcase cutting-edge developments and innovative solutions to current challenges, including long-term operational stability, environmental safety, and large-scale manufacturability. We will foster cross-disciplinary discussions that can inspire breakthroughs in quantum dot-enabled optoelectronic and display technologies.

We invite you to submit your contributions to this Special Issue.

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. Nanomaterials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
