Title : Unlocking BT.2020: How Quantum Dot Technology Transforms Display Color Quality

Abstract : BT.2020 has gained significant attention recently as the only existing color gamut that can fully cover all the colors seen in nature. However, achieving BT.2020 remains one of the most technically demanding challenges for the display industry. Prior to the emergence of quantum-dot (QD) technology, reaching 100% sRGB coverage was difficult; for example, most notebook displays at that time averaged only around 70% sRGB, while televisions—then the best-performing consumer displays—approached 90–100% sRGB. Broader adoption of color gamut beyond sRGB began only after the introduction in 2013 of QD Enhancement Film (QDEF®).. In 2014, TCL and Hisense brought QDEF-based products to market targeting the NTSC gamut, followed by Samsung’s QD TVs approaching 100% DCI-P3 coverage in 2015. That same year, Vizio introduced its R-series TV, achieving approximately 87% BT.2020 coverage.
This rapid progression was no coincidence: QD technology was the first affordable solution capable of enabling color gamuts far wider than sRGB (Rec. 709). Quantum dots are known for their narrow-band emission, a key enabler of wide color gamut performance. Their nanosecond-scale response time also makes them highly compatible with LED local-dimming backlight systems. By integrating QD technology with miniLED backlights, today’s production TVs can deliver industry-leading color volume and dynamic range, achieving peak luminance up to 10,000 nits and black levels below 0.01 nits—while maintaining power and cost profiles suitable for high-volume markets.
In this invited talk, we review the transformation of display color quality enabled by QD technology and examine recent advances in QD materials and integration methods that unlock the next wave of consumer displays targeting full BT.2020 performance.

Title : AMR Total Repair Platform: Powering the Future of Mini- & Micro-LED Displays

Abstract : Mini and micro-LED technologies have become essential components in the advancement of ultra-high-definition automotive displays, AR glass applications, smart watches, and large-format televisions exceeding 80 inches. As mass production demands escalate, the minimization and remediation of defective pixels remain critical technical challenges for maintaining stable production yields. To address this, we introduce the Automated Multi-functional Repair (AMR) system, which integrates advanced laser trimming and cleaning technologies with ultra-fine electrohydrodynamic (EHD) inkjet printing. This system utilizes high-performance functional nano-inks and a precise one-by-one chip transfer process to achieve high-resolution, uniform repairs. The AMR system features advanced laser modules compatible with multiple bonding methods, including anisotropic conductive film (ACF), solder bumps, and silver paste. Experimental results indicate that EHD inkjet printing can generate conductive bonding pads (ink) as small as 7 μm while maintaining a positional accuracy of approximately 2 μm during the pick-and-place process. Consequently, the system achieved a lighting success rate of 99% for transferred LEDs, confirming its potential to significantly enhance productivity for next-generation display applications.
