For the first time, quantum dots are excited by fluorescence resonance energy transfer from the carriers trapped at surface defect levels. The prototype device exhibits achromatic emission, with a chromaticity coordinate of (0.327, 0.330), and correlated color temperature similar to sunlight. © 2016 The Royal Society of Chemistry.EnglishExciton energy recycling from ZnO defect levels: towards electrically driven hybrid quantum-dot white light-emitting-diodesArticle10.1039/c5nr09261b
