Modelling-assisted geometrical optimization of colloidal quantum color convertor based pixels fabricated by dielectrophoretic directed assembly

Résumé

Hypothesis: Building competitive color conversion pixels for microdisplays made of semiconductor nanocrystals requires reaching a deposition thickness high enough to absorb all the blue light from the backlight unit. In the case of dielectrophoretic directed assembly of such nanocrystals, modeling and simulations may help understand what the intrinsic limitations of the process are, and may be used to propose new assembly routes. Experiments: A theoretical model of dielectrophoretic interactions between polarizable nano-spheres and an electrostatically patterned substrate has been developed. Monte Carlo simulations have been run using this model to rationalize the effects of parameters driving the dielectrophoretic directed assembly and to find optimal deposition conditions for reaching a maximal thickness of nanocrystal pixels. Experiments with CdSe quantum plates and with alumina spheres embedding quantum plates (micro-pearls) have been carried out and compared to the model. Findings: Modeling and simulations reveal that the directed assembly of semiconductor nanocrystals is limited essentially by the small object size, which sets the maximum dielectrophoretic force they can undergo. They indicate that using larger objects should allow reaching unprecedented assembly heights, but will induce lateral extension of the assembly. This trade-off has been illustrated with diagrams in the parameter space and confirmed experimentally with micro-pearls.
