Known More for TV, Could Quantum Dot Technology Replace CMOS Sensors?

Researchers in South Korea are saying the tech could produce more accurate colors and peak brightness than standard sensors.

Could Quantum Dot (QD) technology really replace CMOS sensors?

You may be familiar with QD technology from certain brands of televisions, such as those from Samsung, Vizio, and Hisense. That technology is known as QLED.

QLEDs are made up of nano-particle crystals that are visible only under a microscope (under 500 nanometers) and emit a range of colors depending on the number of atoms they have. They don’t utilize traditional white backlight. QLEDs emit either a red or green light when struck by blue light. The resulting colors are much more accurate and vivid and can be tuned to release specific wavelengths to give the most accurate color production.
