Zirconia Dispersions
PixClear® Zirconia uniform dispersions deliver refractive indices of 1.60-1.77, with >95% transparency, low haze, and no aggregations.
PixClear® Zirconia Designer Compounds®
PixClear® Zirconia dispersions are composed of up to 10nm capped high refractive index (RI) nanocrystals that enable customers to greatly enhance their formulations’ optical performance and mechanical properties. These products are offered in Pixelligent formulations (PixJet®, PixNIL®) and as stand-alone dispersions to optimize Extended Reality, Next-Gen Display, Optics, OLED Lighting, and Sensor applications. PixClear® Zirconia products enable a refractive index range of up to 1.77, with transparencies over 95% and less than 0.1% haze.
Enabling Next-Generation Optoelectronic Applications
Pixelligent’s PixClear® Zirconia nanocrystal dispersions increase the field of view (FoV) in extended reality devices, increase light output of OLED/MicroLED displays, provide sharper images in optical sensors, and enable 3D printed optics.
Advantages of PixClear® Zirconia
PixClear® monodispersed, aggregate-free zirconium dioxide dispersions offer uniform particle size, narrow size distribution, and tunable nanocrystal loading, enabling high refractive indices, high transparency, and low haze. Uniform particle size and shape of up to 10nm capped nanocrystals with a narrow size distribution enable wide compatibility with various solvents and monomers.

A 10nm capped ZrO₂ nanocrystal dispersed in a PGMEA (Propylene glycol methyl ether acetate) solvent that has the ability to contain functional groups or non-functional groups. These nanoparticles are designed for the highest compatibility in multiple polar solvents and monomers such as acrylate, siloxane, and epoxy.
Depending on the capping agents, these dispersions can have:
- Balanced surface coverage that provides both improved formulation stability and dispersibility without sacrificing RI.
- Medium surface coverage of capping materials that provide improved dispersibility and high refractive index.
- Highest surface coverage of capping materials and functionality that enables high crosslinking density and provides improved chemical resistance.
- Lower surface coverage of capping materials that provide higher refractive indices.
- High surface coverage of capping materials provides improved compatibility and stability to chemical reactivity.
Custom formulations are available upon request.
