Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>Colloidal quantum dot (CQD) optoelectronics offers a compelling combination of low‐cost, large‐area solution processing, and spectral tunability through the quantum size effect. Since early reports of size‐tunable light emission from solution‐synthesized CQDs over 25 years ago, tremendous progress has been made in synthesis and assembly, optical and electrical properties, materials processing, and optoelectronic applications of these materials. Here some of the major developments in this field are reviewed, touching on key milestones as well as future opportunities.</p> </abstract>
