Paper Batteries, Blue Quantum Dots, and Other Enabling Technologies from CES 2023

Cars That Think

These LCD-based displays typically use an array of blue LEDs as a backlight along with a quantum-dot film that converts some of that light into the red and green frequencies used to make up an RGB (red-green-blue) image, passing the blue light through unchanged. The company has announced that an evaluation kit is available for preorder.
