Working in conjunction with the University of Tokyo, Sharp Display Technology Co., Ltd. have succeeded in developing a novel type of light-emission technology that promises high-efficiency energy-saving displays that are more environmentally friendly due to the absence of cadmium.

The technology involves passing electrical current and patterning RGB pixels using quantum dots with a narrow-emission spectrum free of cadmium. This affords a new self-luminous display that has high brightness, high contrast, and a wide colour gamut. Sharp intend to focus on the commercial production of small to medium-sized HD displays – or from head-mounted displays to 4K/8K displays.

Details of this achievement will be presented on 16 December 2022 at the 29th International Display Workshop held at the Fukuoka International Congress Centre.
