Quantum Dots Light Emitting Diodes For Photomedicine

Quantum dot light emitting diodes (QLEDs) with outstanding wavelength tunability, ideal color purity, sufficient power density and unique flexible form factors are high promising photomedical light sources that could facilitate widespread clinical applications of photodynamic therapy (PDT) or photobiomodulations (PBM). In this talk, I will share the progresses on flexible QLEDs development and photomedical studies at University of Central Florida, QLEDCures and our medical partner institutions. The perspective of flexible QLEDs for various photomedical applications in the near and long term will be discussed.
