Abstract
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a quantum rod, and more particularly, to a quantum rod maximizing luminous efficiency of a green color and a method of manufacturing the same.
In general, the chemical and physical properties of solid crystals are independent of the size of the crystals. However, when the size of a solid crystal becomes a region of several nanometers, its size may be a variable that influences the chemical and physical properties of the crystal. Research to form a nanocystal, a nanocluster, or a quantum dot as a semiconductor material among nanotechnologies utilizing the unique properties of such nano-sized particles is currently being actively conducted worldwide.
In particular, conventional inorganic light-emitting devices, which have been manufactured in the form of thin films by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), have a disadvantage in that the electro-optical conversion efficiency is lowered. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in high-efficiency light emitting devices using nanomaterials. Particularly, a quantum dot having a size of several nanometers exhibits a unique behavior called a quantum effect, A semiconductor structure to be used, an emission marker of molecules in a living body, and the like.
Quantum dots and their crystal structure are Hexagonal structure, and crystals grow in uniaxial direction, and a rod shaped quantum rod emits light of different wavelength depending on its size.
Generally, the size of quantum dots and quantum rods need to be adjusted appropriately because these particles generate a short wavelength light with a small number of particles and a larger particle generates light with a long wavelength.
However, quantum dots and quantum rods are very small in particle size, so the surface-volume ratio is very high, and the atoms located on the surface are highly reactive and are likely to grow into larger particles by contact with surrounding particles.
In order to prevent this, the precipitation method, the pyrolysis method, the gas phase synthesis method, the template synthesis method, and the like have been proposed. The quantum dots and quantum rods synthesized at the beginning are II-VI, III-V, Ⅰ- Ⅲ-Ⅵ, Ⅳ-Ⅵ It consisted of a single semiconductor particles (CdSe, CdTe, CdS, GaAs , GaP, GaAs-P, Ga-Sb, InAs, InP, InSb, AlAs, AlP, AlSbCulnSe 2, CulS 2, AginS 2, PbS, PbSe, PbTe) .
The study of such quantum dots is based on changing the structure of nanocrystals such as the size and surface of nanocrystals in the nanometer range to change the properties of the crystal, that is, the band gap.
On the other hand, the quantum dots have different emission ranges, luminescent efficiencies, and chemical stability depending on their compositions, and thus the application range and application methods of each quantum dot are limited.
Particularly, in the case of a quantum rod having a high-efficiency light emission characteristic and also a polarization characteristic, the luminous efficiency is rapidly lowered as compared with the quantum dot.
This is because the quantum rod has a rod shape as opposed to a spherical quantum dot, so that the length of the shell is longer than the Bohr radius of the exiton and the quantum confinement effect is reduced to be.
Therefore, research on a quantum rod having a high-efficiency light emission characteristic and a polarization characteristic is required.
