Electroluminescence from quantum dots (QDs) is a suitable photon source for futuristic displays offering hyper-realistic images. Accordingly, a nondestructive and scalable process capable of rendering multicolored QD patterns on a scale of several micrometers needs to be established. In this talk, two different nondestructive direct photopatterning methods for QDs are introduced. The first method exploits an additive that can crosslink with native aliphatic QD ligands. This additive is referred to as light-driven ligand crosslinker (LiXers). Specifically, we employ LiXers in branched structure containing multiple azide units. Alternatively, QD ligands by themselves containing a photocrosslinkable moiety (that can also directly crosslink with native aliphatic ligands of neighboring QDs) can be anchored onto QD surface. Specifically, photocrosslinkable ligands (PXLs) based on benzophenone derivative are exploited. We demonstrate that QDs can be direct patterned on various substrates without compromising the optical properties of the QDs.
