Government Contracts

QD Vision Government Contracts  

QD Vision is working with numerous government agencies to advance technology development in the areas of energy, defense and intelligence. Agencies that have awarded contracts to QD Vision include, the Department of Energy (DOE), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), and the U.S. Army.

Energy

  • For the DOE, QD Vision is participating in a project that will significantly contribute to the development of enhanced solid state lighting technologies. The QD Vision team is developing and will demonstrate a cost-competitive solution to increase extraction efficiency in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) with efficient and stable color rendering index (CRI) for solid state lighting. The end goal is practical solid state lighting solutions that are not only power efficient, but also emit light with highly pleasing color quality.
  • NIST ATP: The company is working on environmentally-friendly solid-state lighting technologies.

Defense

  • As part of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, the company is developing micro-displays using quantum dot-based light-emitting devices (QLEDs) for the Army's Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate (NVESD). Micro-displays are used in applications that require high resolution, brightness, color contrast and power efficiency. They are featured in applications such as video headsets, helmet-mounted displays, wearable computers and other portable devices.
  • The company is also working on multiple defense-related contracts with major systems houses, as well as with the AFOSR, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), and the Army Research Laboratory (ARL).

Intelligence

  • The company is involved in multiple projects with intelligence agencies, to develop solutions that will support the mission of the U.S. intelligence community and our troops.  

QD Vision's work with government-sponsored R&D programs has also played a vital role in the company's commercial technology development strategy. These programs have directly supported the core development of quantum dot compositions and applications.
