Quantum dots, which are 10,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair, are unique materials that generate very specific colors of light. Researchers, including Brandi Cossairt, 91爆料 professor of chemistry, hope that quantum dots can one day be useful for more than just illuminating TV screens. 91爆料 News asked her to compare the quantum dots in QLED TVs with the ones her lab makes.
