Optical component, products including same, and methods for making same

摘要

An optical component is disclosed that comprises a first substrate, an optical material comprising quantum confined semiconductor nanoparticles disposed over a predetermined region of a first surface of the first substrate, a layer comprising an adhesive material disposed over the optical material and any portion of the first surface of the first substrate not covered by the optical material, and a second substrate disposed over the layer comprising an adhesive material, wherein the first and second substrates are sealed together. In certain embodiments, the optical component further includes a second optical material comprising quantum confined semiconductor nanoparticles disposed between the layer comprising the adhesive material and the second substrate. Method are also disclosed. Also disclosed are products including the optical component.

1. A method for preparing an optical component for altering light emitted by a light source, wherein the method comprises:
depositing an optical material comprising quantum confined semiconductor nanoparticles over a predetermined region of a first surface of a first substrate; forming a layer comprising an adhesive material over the optical material and any portion of the first surface of the first substrate that is not covered by the optical material; positioning a second substrate over the layer comprising an adhesive material; and sealing the substrates together, wherein the first substrate, the adhesive material, and the second substrate are at least 90% optically transparent to at least predetermined wavelengths of light passing into and out of the optical component, and wherein the adhesive material does not yellow or discolor during use of the optical component so as to substantially alter optical properties of the optical component.
