Warm-White light-Emitting diodes integrated with colloidal quantum dots for high luminous efficacy and color rendering: Reply to comment

Abstract

The correlated color temperatures and the corresponding color rendering indices calculated using actual experimental data (and not any prediction) in the original Letter [Opt. Lett. 35, 3372 (2010)] are correct. In addition, here the color rendering of our white LEDs integrated with nanocrystal quantum dots (NQDs) is provided for all test samples. Also, a new NQD-LED design with both high luminous efficacy of optical radiation and CRI is presented to have a chromaticity point in the quadrangle stated in the comment Letter [Opt. Lett. 36, 2851 (2011)]. The points made in the original Letter and all the calculation results provided therein are valid. © 2011 Optical Society of America.
