Abstract
The use of quantum dots as discrete emitters in hybrid organic/inorganic light emitting devices is an attractive approach for producing novel display products. These structures exhibit narrow-band emission tunable across the visible spectrum - characteristics allowing for display devices not possible with current OLEO materials. In this work, quantum dot light emitting devices (QD-LEDs) using small molecule host materials are evaluated as a potential platform for the growing OLEO industry. Specific applications are suggested and the primary technology hurdles identified. A search of relevant patents pertaining to quantum dot synthesis and device structure was conducted to reveal a significant opportunity for the commercialization of QD-LED devices. A business model has been devised based upon several developing companies in the OLEO industry with a focus on licensing of technology as the primary source of revenue.
