Description
Summary:	Given the current needs for lasers on flexible substrates or as disposable, low-cost appliances, solution-processable lasers based on tunable colloidal quantum dots (QD) could revolutionize the field of laser-based opto-electronics, much as these QD materials currently do for the growing markets of displays and lighting. In this perspective, we present the status of this rapidly advancing field, followed by a discussion of the remaining challenges and possible avenues for future research and valorization.
