Abstract

Provided are a wavelength converting particle, a method for manufacturing a wavelength converting particle, and a light-emitting diode containing a wavelength converting particle. The wavelength converting particle comprises a hybrid OIP nanocrystal that converts a wavelength of light generated by an excitation light source into a specified wavelength. Accordingly, it is possible to optically stabilize and improve color purity and light-emission performance without changes in a light-emitting wavelength range.

Claims (35)

1 . A light-emitting device comprising:

a base structure;

at least one excitation light source disposed on the base structure and configured to emit light of a predetermined wavelength; and

one or more nanocrystals of a perovskite material configured to absorb light having a first wavelength and to emit light having a second wavelength,

wherein the second wavelength of the light emitted from the perovskite material does not change substantially over the nanocrystal size thereof unlike a quantum dot that substantially changes a wavelength of light emitted therefrom over a nanocrystal size thereof;
