Boston, April 8, 2020, PR Newswire/- First of all, we must ask what value quantum dots can bring in LED lighting? In general lighting, QD can achieve both high efficiency and high CRI (color rendering index) values. Overall, the cost of improving the efficacy of CRI is very high.

The IDTechEx report "Quantum Dot Materials and Technologies: Trends, Markets, Participants" discusses the progress, challenges, and QD of LED lighting (www.IDTechEx. com/QD)
In 2019, Osram launched LED lights with on-chip QD, achieving 173lm/W with a 90 CRI. Lumileds had demonstrated similar results using the same basic QD technique about a year ago. Compared to leading non QD narrowband red emitters, these situations improve efficiency by approximately 8-10% at CRI 90. These results clearly demonstrate the success of QD in reducing the trade-off between lm/W efficacy and CRI (an important indicator of color quality).
In this article, Dr. Khasha Ghaffarzadeh, Research Director of IDTechEx, discusses the challenges and prospects faced by QD in the general lighting market. This article is excerpted from the research company's report "Quantum Dot Materials and Technology: Trends, Markets, Participants" from 2020 to 2030, which provides a detailed analysis of the value chain and applications of quantum dot technology (displays, sensors, lighting, agricultural films, etc.).
IDTechEx provides detailed and up-to-date comments from all major participants worldwide. They analyzed and emphasized all major trends in the report, studying performance levels and development trends, regulations, composition changes, and further radical and incremental development requirements to explore new markets and showcase integrated models.
The report also examines existing and emerging applications, providing a detailed assessment of the current status and future prospects. Here, analysts consider using enhanced film, QD color filters on LCD, OLED, and microLED, on chip, QLED, lighting, NIR/SWIR sensors, agricultural film, etc. The report also provides market forecasts for value and consumption at the material and application levels.

　　In the future

　　Overall, the roadmap for lighting is clear: first, introduce QD into low-power and high CRI high-efficiency LEDs before expanding it to the high-power and high CRI segment market. In this way, it will spread from the premium market to the regular premium market. The price of regular display QD is 10 times higher than that of yellow YAG, but the price difference required to increase CRI is very small compared to the price of red fluoride. Of course, the QD on highly designed elastic sheets will require a higher price per kilogram than many other QDs. Although the number of LEDs per mm2 is small, IDTechEx predicts that the market will become huge.
At the same time, the QD market is also full of hope as shown on the chip. The global market research company estimates that the earliest market penetration will start at the end of 2020 or early 2023. In LED illuminated LCDs, it can be expected to be highly successful and fiercely competitive with ultra narrow band PSF red phosphors。
