Metal halide perovskite quantum dots (QDs) and polymer composite films have witnessed extensive investigation in flexible optoelectronic devices, while the unsatisfactory environmental and mechanical properties of the composite films set substantial limitations for practical applications. Herein, highly luminescent perovskite QDs‐polymer composite films (QPFs) are fabricated with remarkable environmental and mechanical stabilities by incorporation of perovskite QDs into fluoroelastomer polymeric matrix. The stretchable QPFs show excellent self‐healing ability with micron‐ and centimeter‐scale cracks healed in dozens of minutes and hours, respectively, due to the strong dipole–dipole interaction between the CF bonds of fluoroelastomer. After careful optimization of QDs ratios, a flat and smooth film morphology is achieved with a uniform distribution of QDs, which promotes good optical properties with a long PL lifetime of 1213.75 ns and high photoluminescence quantum yields up to 96.1%, and super environmental and mechanical stability These merits of QPFs enable their practical applications in flexible white light‐emitting devices and wide color gamut displays with 124% of standard National Television Standards Committee and 96% of Recommendation 2020, respectively, exhibiting vivid pictures with high saturations for the object colors, indicating great potential toward practical applications. Highly luminescent perovskite QDs‐composite films (QPFs) with excellent self‐healing ability at room temperature are fabricated by incorporation of perovskite QDs into fluoroelastomer polymeric matrix. Moreover, the stretchable QPFs show remarkable environmental and mechanical stabilities that enable their practical applications in flexible white light‐emitting devices and wide color gamut displays with high saturations of vivid pictures for the object colors.
