Technology

What are quantum dots and why are they important? Quantum dots are nanometer-sized, inorganic crystals that create light when stimulated with photons or electrons. QD Vision is harnessing the light-emitting qualities of quantum dots with the Quantum Light™ product platform, an environmentally friendly, nanocrystal-based technology for displays and solid-state lighting. The Quantum Light™ product platform will deliver unparalleled color and brightness and require less power than current-generation technologies for consumer electronics products, flat-panel displays, electronic signage, solid state lighting, and national security applications.

Leveraging a top-tier portfolio of patents from QD Vision and from MIT, the Quantum Light™ product platform combines advanced material and device technologies to deliver three substantial benefits:

Color: QD Vision has engineered quantum-dot-based nanocrystal solutions to emit light tuned to frequencies across the visible and infrared spectrum. Because quantum dot materials emit pure, finely tuned colors, the Quantum Light™ product platform provides better color saturation and color rendering than other technologies, without power consumption trade-offs. It is the only materials technology that can be designed to emit any color of light across the entire visible spectrum.

Power: The Quantum Light™ product platform uses less power than other solutions, making it an attractive option for clean-tech applications. LCDs, for example, utilize white backlights which are filtered to achieve the desired colors, consuming up to ten times the power of quantum dot-based displays, which emit light and color directly.

Design: QD Vision's quantum dot inks can be applied to virtually any substrate using a wide range of well-known printing and coating techniques. The Quantum Light™ product platform therefore opens up new possibilities in the design and manufacture of consumer and industrial products, including the potential for extremely thin, flexible displays and lighting fixtures, and displays and signage with very large formats or transparent backgrounds.
