The present invention relates to a luminescent film comprising a network of crosslinked nanocrystals, wherein the network of crosslinked nanocrystals comprises a reactive colloidal nanoparticle comprising a core comprising a semiconductive compound and at least one polythiol ligand. Formed from crystals, the core is surrounded by at least one polythiol ligand, and each core surrounded by the at least one polythiol ligand is at least one other polythiol surrounding another core Cross-linked by a ligand. The photoluminescence properties of the NC are preserved once the film is formed. A light emitting element (LED) is manufactured using a light emitting film as a light emitting layer. When current flows through the device, the LED emits light, demonstrating the electroluminescent properties of the NC film. |
