Translations are always sketchy, but it appears QMC isn't considered a Top 3 supplier yet. We are stuck in our holding pattern, still hoping they and their display partner come out of the shadows someday soon-

"Although recent studies show the number of quantum dots companies involved, but currently only the UK Nanoco, Germany and the United States QDVision Nanosys three quantum dot display manufacturer in the technical aspects of the quantum dots in the lead. Which, Nanoco cooperation with the US Dow Chemical (DowChemical) in cadmium-free technology, the layout of the quantum dot market."

TV market will never lack highlights technology. 2014 4K TV , OLED TV , curved TV and other terms not make people familiar with the end of 2014, a new technical term - quantum dots (Quantum Dots, referred QD) sparkling debut. Just since the beginning of the end, TCL , Changhong grab new hair, Samsung, Sony, LG, Hisense and other well-known brands have also said that the TV will be launched quantum dots. So, in the end what is different quantum dot TV? It will be the highlight of the TV market in 2015 do?

Concern:

Manufacturers push new frequency

The introduction of new technology is always inseparable from the manufacturer's sought after, it is a great TV manufacturers currently touted trend of collective quantum dot TV.

By the end of December 2014, China's color TV manufacturers TCL, Changhong TV pioneered quantum dots. In the ensuing weeks, the Samsung, LG, Sharp, Hisense have at the International Consumer Electronics Show early 2015 launch of the quantum dot TV. Sony also said, already have equipped quantum dot technology.

It is understood that Samsung will be officially on sale by the end of February this year, the quantum dot TV SUHDTV. Samsung Electronics Visual Display Division President Kim Hyun-seok, said the company will achieve SUHDTV mass production next month.

LG Electronics plans to start mass production in the second quarter of quantum dot TV. LG Electronics official said that they plan to market the quantum dot TV in the second quarter, but the launch has not yet decided what kind of products in which country.

TCL said that since the US market in the second quarter from a quantum dot TV.

Data released by market research firm DisplaySearch, this year's global library quantum dot TV will reach 1.3 million units next year will increase to 500 million units, in 2017 and 2018, respectively, exceeded 12 million units and 18 million units.

China Electronic Chamber of Commerce Deputy Secretary-General introduced in the just-concluded 2014 (10th) China flat panel TV industry conference, a number of mainstream TV companies have released their own strategic layout planning, including new display technology products become the enterprise Highlights of the parts. Not difficult to see under the double impact of the economic downturn and foreign competition, the display technology is still the traditional TV manufacturers breakthrough.

Benefits:

Color more beautiful

Quantum dot technology is promising manufacturers, naturally has its obvious advantages.

It is understood that the quantum dot TV is an LCD TV one, it is different from traditional LCD TVs, mainly in its use of the quantum dot material backlight, making it more than traditional LED-backlit LCD TV picture quality is more on environmental protection and energy saving advantage.

Quantum dots are tiny invisible inorganic nanocrystals. Whenever stimulation by light, it will send a very pure colored light, quantum dot materials backlight is the purest color backlight. TV is the use of quantum dots of color purest quantum dot light source as a backlight, display color gamut to achieve the most true to the image colors.

According to the deputy general manager of the National Radio and Television Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Center Zhigang introduction, authoritative testing data show that under the NTSC standard color gamut ordinary LED TVs only 72% of the first-generation high color gamut TV is only 82%, the second-generation high Gamut TV about 96%, while the quantum dot TV color gamut coverage is as high as 110%.

Chi, deputy general manager Li Yaqin advisory group, said quantum dot technology will effectively solve the high color gamut panel caused by the traditional method, but the problem of low brightness. This will no doubt LCD TV in high color gamut provides the best solutions and OLED competition. While this will result in increased costs more problems, but relatively OLED and LCD TV panels in terms of two to three times the price difference, still has a strong competitive edge. With the maturity of quantum dot technology, the market potential will be greater.

Inadequate:

Matching is not perfect

Quantum dot technology is just the rise of a new thing, so the entire television manufacturing industry chain, aspects of its facilities, and other accessories production inevitably unsatisfactory.

It is understood that the upper reaches of the quantum dot materials are mainly controlled by foreign hands. This technology is the only challenge a small number of suppliers, it is difficult to ensure the supply. Although recent studies show the number of quantum dots companies involved, but currently only the UK Nanoco, Germany and the United States QDVision Nanosys three quantum dot display manufacturer in the technical aspects of the quantum dots in the lead. Which, Nanoco cooperation with the US Dow Chemical (DowChemical) in cadmium-free technology, the layout of the quantum dot market.

??? According to reports, the quantum screens can be achieved in two ways: The first way is to use quantum film backlight module, the main suppliers are 3M, its cooperation with the backlight enterprises launched Nanosys quantum film, will cause the display increased costs of about $ 150, which is a higher increase in the cost of color TV manufacturers; second way is to use quantum rods, increased costs only about $ 30 -50 dollars, with high mass productivity.

Reporters learned that in 2015 technology and partners all TV manufacturers are using quantum dot TV is different. Samsung's upcoming production of quantum dots backlit materials, mainly from Nanoco and Dow Chemical, LG, Sony and TCL is a collaboration with QDVision, Hisense and Changhong country chose Nanosys and 3M.

It is understood that the BOE , Huaxing power, IVO and other domestic panel makers also announced the introduction amount of output sub-point technology. TCL released the world's first quantum dot TV is Huaxing Electric independently developed quantum dot display, to be China's color TV manufacturers to promote large-scale quantum dot TV, Huaxing power supply have the ability to self-developed quantum dot LCD screen . According to academician Ouyang Chung Chan said, quantum dots backlight technology R & D progress of BOE is also relatively smooth, about to mass production.

Industry experts point out that the quantum dot technology either as a backlight, or applied directly to the display, the technology has yet to be continue to improve, the need to address the capacity increase, effective cadmium-free, extended service life and other issues. The next few years, or will usher in big changes in the quantum dot display.

Trend:

OLED TV will not replace

Quantum dot technology covering a broad gamut attracted the attention of many TV manufacturers, in addition to TCL, LG, Samsung, etc. Hisense launched the quantum dot TV New at this year's CES show.

Feeling in a variety of television publicity quantum dots to the people seem to be caused by the quantum dot TV significant advantages, will replace the existing backlight TV technology, but in reality is not.

TCL Multimedia CTO Chenguang Lang said that does not mean that the quantum dots to go beyond TV OLED, the future may also be replaced by a quantum dot OLED TV, in fact, these two products are two different technologies evolutionary lines.

Insiders said, OLED technology has been hailed as the future direction of the TV show, although due to the high cost, suffering questioned, but the industry is still widely considered to be standing on the pinnacle of technology.

TCL Multimedia CEO Hao Yi believes that the relationship between OLED and quantum dots are "brothers climbing their own efforts." Currently on the market, although there are OLED products in the sales, but expensive, universal difficult, "although TCL also launched OLED products, but this is a marketing strategy, the real mass market when it can not say.

Liu Buchen, industry experts said: "In the empty window period before the popularity of OLED, appliance manufacturers should conduct long-term planning, not to use OLED TV prices are too high, the product immaturity by weakening or even abandon its layout."

TV display technology is constantly updated, any new technology can not be perfect, of course, impossible to dominate on the market long.
