We report on nanocrystal quantum dot (NQD) hybridized WLEDs with high performance that exhibit a high luminous efficacy of optical radiation exceeding 350 lm/Wopt and a high color rendering index close to 90 at a low correlated color temperature <3000 K. These spectrally engineered WLEDs are obtained using a combination of CdSe/ZnS core/shell NQD nanophosphors integrated on blue InGaN/GaN LEDs. © 2010 Optical Society of America.EnglishCdSe/ZnS core/shellColloidal quantum dotsColor renderingCorrelated color temperatureHigh color rendering indexHigh luminous efficacyInGaN/GaNLighting applicationsNanophosphorsOptical radiationsQuantum DotSpectral qualityWhite LEDWhite light emitting diodesColorLuminanceOptical waveguidesSemiconductor quantum dotsLight emitting diodesArticle10.1364/OL.35.003372
