Monochromatic LEDs based on perovskite quantum dots: Opportunities and challenges

Perovskite quantum dots (QDs) are emerging as one of the most promising candidates for the monochromatic light-emitting diodes (LEDs) approaching the Rec. 2020 color gamut due to their extremely narrow emission bandwidth. Another important aspect are the high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) values that can be obtained either in solution or thin films making these materials as promising candidates for optoelectronic applications such as LEDs or solar cells. Considerable research efforts in chemistry, chemical engineering, solid-state physics, and material sciences have been made in the past years. The new opportunity in the field of semiconductor quantum dots is still in the beginning phase and is expected to remain active in the following years. Here, in this invited commentary, we briefly discuss and summarize the opportunities and challenges in both fundamental and technological aspects, based on our work and the recent work in this field.
