Highly efficient and stable eco-friendly QLED: a giant step towards the next-generation display

Very recently, a research team of Prof. Dongho Kim at Yonsei University and Dr. Eunjoo Jang at Inorganic Materials Lab of Samsung Electronics provided a breakthrough to a problem in the display technology by introducing the self-luminescing quantum dot light-emitting diodes which are both bright and stable. The QLED devices developed in this study achieved the theoretical maximum efficiency of 21.4% and the lifetime of a million hours. This performance is an all-time high for the nontoxic quantum dot materials and is comparable to that of the state-of-art toxic Cd-containing QLEDs. These results were published in “Nature”, the most renowned academic journal among all.

STUDY IN KOREA AT YONSEI

Humans of Yonsei

“"Last winter, I first visited Korea with my friends from Cornell. Since a lot of my university peers are from Korea, I was convinced by them to visit the country. During my stay here, I was reminded of and became curious about the childhood environment that I had long forgotten. Thus, I decided to come to Korea again to fully experience Asian culture that I cannot fully grasp through a short vacation. I specifically chose Yonsei University among other Korean universities because it is known for its diversity and provision of an easily accessible exchange program for Cornell students. Many alumni have also encouraged me to participate in this exchange program due to the variety of courses offered and intimate discussion-based lectures that are not common at Cornell.”
