Do you only read and believe what you want? That comment can be put to rest now. A respected, independent engineering website does a walkthrough and you still want to claim they're manually processing everything?

"In about half a dozen large metal tanks—nearly the size of those you might see in a brewpub, not a giant commercial brewery—Nanosys combines cadmium and selenium and adjusts the temperature, concentration, and catalysts added to force these precursors to combine into stable crystals of cadmium selenide. Then, by readjusting the conditions, the system stops the formation of crystals and triggers the beginning of crystal growth. A computer controls the process according to a programmed “recipe;” staff members monitor the growth of the crystals by shining light on them and measuring the wavelength of the fluorescence; the smallest crystals don’t fluoresce at all, then, as the crystals get larger, the wavelength changes. Nanosys stops the process when the fluoresced light hits the target wavelength, which varies depending on what particular display industry standard that the batch of film is designed to meet. For example, for a film that would meet the new color standard for Ultra High Definition (UHD) broadcasts that would be a 640-nm red and a 525-nm green wavelength. After crystal growth stops, the system evaporates the solvent that enabled the dots to easily flow through the brewing equipment, and mixes the remaining material with an epoxy slurry before pouring it into small kegs for shipping."

They also regularly have postings for chemical engineers and mechanical engineers. You think they're just sitting on their thumbs? They're most likely innovating...because they have sales and revenues to support this kind of thing...
