Orthogonal Trichromatic Upconversion with High Color Purity in Core‐Shell Nanoparticles for a Full‐Color Display

Abstract

AbstractMaterials with tunable emission colors has attracted increasing interest in both fundamental research and applications. As a key member of light‐emitting materials family, lanthanide doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have been intensively demonstrated to emit light in any color upon near‐infrared excitation. However, realizing the trichromatic emission in UCNPs with a fixed composition remains a great challenge. Here, without excitation pulsed modulation and three different near‐infrared pumping, we report an experimental design to fine‐control emission in the full color gamut from core–shell‐structured UCNPs by manipulating the energy migration through dual‐channel pump scheme. We also demonstrate their potential application in full‐color display. These findings may benefit the future development of convenient and versatile optical methos for multicolor tuning and open up the possibility of constructing full‐color volumetric display systems with high spatiotemporal resolution.
