Liquid suspensions of semiconductor nanocrystals that can be printed or coated onto a substrate promise a new era of low-cost optoelectronics. The demonstration of infrared image sensors and displays based on this approach and fully integrated with silicon electronics suggests that the technology is maturing rapidly.
