A process for producing a light emitting diode device, the process including: forming a plurality of quantum dots on a surface of a layer including a first area and a second area; exposing the first area of the surface to light having a first wavelength while exposing the first area to a first etchant that causes the quantum dots in the first area to be etched at a first etch rate while the quantum dots have a dimension at or greater than a first threshold dimension; exposing the second area of the surface to light having a second wavelength while exposing the second area to a second etchant that causes the quantum dots in the second area to be etched at a third etch rate while the quantum dots have a dimension at or greater than a second threshold dimension; and processing the etched layer to form the LED device.
