Quantum dots are semiconductors and can perform functions now done by
traditional silicon-based semiconductors, such as light-to-electrical
conversion (CCD sensors) or electricity-to-light conversion (LEDs).
Their advantages include:
* Tiny size, hence the "dots" moniker
* High quantum efficiency, i.e higher sensitivity in image sensors
* Quantum "tuneability"; manipulation of their physical
characteristics allows precise tuning of their quantum energy levels,
ie. colors of LEDs
Quantum dots are only now coming to market as they haven't yet been
successfully manufactured in commercial quantities, but they're a Next
Big Thing.
