Jiwoong Yang is an Associate Professor in the Department of Energy Science and Engineering (Chemical Engineering Track) at Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST), Republic of Korea. He joined DGIST in 2019. He received his B.S. degree (2011, Summa Cum Laude) and Ph.D. degree (2016) in Chemical and Biological Engineering from Seoul National University (SNU) under the supervision of Prof. Taeghwan Hyeon. After his Ph.D., he conducted postdoctoral research at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL, 2017-2019). At LBNL, he worked under the guidance of Dr. Haimei Zheng, developing and applying in situ liquid-cell transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to directly visualize nanoscale transformations in liquids and to investigate heterogeneity and fluctuations at solid–liquid interfaces. Prof. Yang’s group focuses on design and synthesis of quantum-sized semiconductor nanomaterials—particularly colloidal quantum dots and related nanocrystals—for display applications. A central objective is to establish mechanistic links between nanocrystal formation pathways, surface/interface chemistry, and functional optoelectronic performance. The group integrates materials synthesis with state-of-the-art characterization, including in situ TEM together with optical and X-ray spectroscopy, to follow structure evolution and correlate it with properties.

摘要: 量子点(Quantum dots,QDs)因其可调带隙、宽色域和高亮度,在显示技术中展现出巨大潜力,但运行稳定性和工艺兼容性仍是其实现实际应用的关键障碍。本文提出了一种机制驱动的设计策略,将量子点的合成过程、表面/界面化学以及失效与降解路径,与显示应用相关的性能指标系统性地联系起来。 通过原位 X 射线散射技术,我们捕捉到胶体纳米晶生长过程中相变演化和形成路径的动力学特征,为调控结构非均一性和缺陷分布提供了合成层面的控制手段,而这些因素最终决定了器件的光电性能与可靠性 [1,2]。作为补充,原位液相透射电子显微镜(TEM)并非用于完整成核过程的观察,而是用于在反应环境下追踪结构与化学演化;结合原位 X 射线分析,该方法揭示了湿度及环境因素驱动的降解机制,并阐明了钝化化学如何重定向失效路径,从而提升材料稳定性 [3–5]。 最后,本文讨论了这些材料层面的机制如何转化为显示系统集成方案,包括高分辨率量子点显示器 [6,7]、可拉伸量子点显示器 [8,9] 以及交互式显示系统 [10,11]。总体而言,这一机制视角超越了经验性优化,为实现高性能、长寿命的新一代量子点显示技术提供了可推广的设计路径。 Title Nonlinear Light Field Manipulation via Ferroelectric Nematic Microstructures
Abstract: Quantum dots (QDs) offer tunable bandgap, wide color gamut, and high brightness for display technologies, yet operational stability and process compatibility remain key barriers to practical deployment. Here I present a mechanistic design strategy that connects synthesis, surface/interface chemistry, and degradation pathways to display-relevant performance metrics. In situ X-ray scattering captures kinetic signatures of phase evolution and formation pathways during colloidal nanocrystal growth, providing synthesis handles to control structural heterogeneity and defect landscapes that ultimately influence optoelectronic performance and reliability [1,2]. Complementarily, in situ liquid-phase TEM—used to track structural and chemical evolution under reactive environments rather than complete nucleation—together with in situ X-ray analysis reveals moisture- and environment-driven degradation mechanisms and clarifies how passivation chemistry redirects failure pathways to improve material stability [3–5]. Finally, I discuss how these materials-level rules translate to display integration, including high-definition QD-displays [6,7], stretchable QD-displays [8,9], and interactive displays [10,11]. Collectively, this mechanistic perspective moves beyond empirical optimization and provides generalizable pathways toward durable, high-performance next-generation QD display technologies.
