US firm Quantum Materials is also stepping up production for 2015, having acquired a suite of patents for heavy metal-free QD technology built up by Bayer. Speaking to +Plastic Electronics in September, its vice president for R&D David Doderer revealed the company will quadruple its output - currently 250kg per year - by January 2015.

In those situations we could set up a dedicated plant close to where the display manufacturer is based.'
