Figure 10.

a) Typical architecture of a LCD display containing SCNCs. In this scheme, the anisotropic NCs are aligned with the vertical polarizer, thereby leading to an improvement of the efficiency. b) Schematic spectrum of a BLU of GaN LEDs with YAG phosphors along with the red, green, and blue color filters compared to a BLU containing SCNCs which can be tuned to match the color filters. c) Comparison of two LCD TV displays with and without a film containing SCNCs (left and right displays, respectively), showing the expanded color gamut which leads to a brighter, efficient, and livelier picture with SCNCs (reproduced from http://www.nanosysinc.com/media-room/media/ with permission).
