Quantum Dots and Rec. 2020: Bringing the Color of Tomorrow Closer to Reality Today
The International Telecommunications Union Radiocommunication Sector has recommended a broadcasting standard Recommendation ITU-R BT.2020 (Rec. 2020) for ultrahigh-definition television that is aimed at providing a better visual experience. It recommends a color gamut that exceeds previous broadcasting standards and is only achievable by laser-based display technologies. Quantum dot (QD)-enabled liquid crystal displays (LCDs) provide one alternative with potential to meet Rec. 2020's standard color gamut while taking advantage of existing manufacturing capacity. We examined how existing QD and LCD technology could be optimized to meet the Rec. 2020 color standard. Our analysis revealed that up to 94% gamut coverage can be achieved.
