Tokyo's new blue quantum dots promise more energy-efficient displays

“Bottom up, self-organizing chemistry” process has been developed by the lab of Professor Eiichi Nakamura. Quantum dots are nanoscale crystals capable of emitting light of different colors. Display devices based on quantum dots promise greater power efficiency, brightness and color purity than previous generations of displays. Of the three colors typically required to display full color images—red, green and blue—the last has proved difficult to produce. A new method developed at the University of Tokyo based on self-organizing chemical structures offers...

microLEDs: from headlamps to the data center When we think about the evolution of AI technology, developments in machine learning and large language models come readily to mind, as do the latest graphics processing units (GPUs), high-bandwidth... READ MORE

The question of what makes a building "smart" has been debated in the industry for years. ams OSRAM provided a clear answer at Light + Building 2026: it is light — not as illumination, but as a sensory nervous system. It percei... READ MORE
