Abstract

The following paper describes the new possibilities for applications, resulting from the combination of luminescent semiconductor nanoparticles (so-called quantum dots) and conducting polymers. First the theory will be briefly introduced, then three examples will be described and discussed: quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QDLEDs), generally quantum dot/conducting polymer composites and, finally, quantum dot photoelectric devices. By these examples, the state of the art is described and future possibilities are shown.
