This invention discloses novel device structures for fill color flat panel
displays utilizing pseudomorphically cladded quantum dot nanocrystals.
Different colors are obtained by changing the core size and composition of
the quantum dots while maintaining a nearly defect-free lattice at the
core-cladding interface. Light emission from the quantum dot core is
obtained either by injection or by avalanche electroluminescence. A
nanotip emitter device is also presented. These generic devices can be
addressed using a variety of conventional display drivers, including
active and passive matrix configuration.
