That's what they licensed from Nanoco and apparently have never been able to commercialize despite building a plant in South Korea and spending who knows how much trying.
If I remember right, they signed the deal in January 2013.

LED Phosphors And Quantum Dots: The Industry Is Rationalising
https://compoundsemiconductor.net/article/102916/LED_phosphors_and_Quantum_dots_the_industry_is_rationalising
The sales of Samsung's QD LCD TV is slow because it is NOT cadmium free, Samsung Electronics is considering whether to open its cadmium-free quantum dot display technology and expand the ecosystem, to provide cadmium-free quantum dot displays to partner companies at a cost or to maintain the technical gap by waiting for other TV makers to develop their own cadmium-free quantum dot displays. However, the company hasn’t made the final decision yet.

Samsung Electronics, which aims to maintain the number one spot in the global TV market for 12 years in a row, is seeking to find a solution to increase the sales of Quantum Dot TV, which is considered its next-generation TV as the growth is slower than expected.
According to industry sources on September 19, Samsung Electronics released its first ever ultra high-definition TV using the quantum dot technology in 2015 but the Quantum Dot TV has shown poor sales. So, the company is seeking out the ways to boost the sales.
Samsung Electronics is considering whether to open its cadmium-free quantum dot display technology and expand the ecosystem, to provide cadmium-free quantum dot displays to partner companies at a cost or to maintain the technical gap by waiting for other TV makers to develop their own cadmium-free quantum dot displays. However, the company hasn’t made the final decision yet.
Cadmium is generally used to produce quantum dot displays but it is a toxic heavy metal and its use is restricted under European and other environmental law because of its threat to both human health and the environment. So, companies are banned from selling electronics products that contain cadmium.
Currently, the Quantum Dot TV bloc consists of a small number of companies such as Samsung Electronics, China’s TCL and Hisense and Europe’s Vestel. In contrast, the OLED TV bloc is formed by a relatively large number of companies including LG Electronics, China’s Skyworth, Konka and Changhong, Japan’s Sony and Panasonic and Europe’s Philips, Grundig and Loewe.
An official from Samsung Electronics said, “Only few companies can produce cadmium-free quantum dot displays so the Quantum Dot TV market is not growing. Samsung is in a dilemma in opening its self-developed technology because the technical gap with TV producers that got into the business late can be easily narrowed while the company cannot create any profits.”
According to market research firm IHS Market, the share of Quantum Dot TVs in the total TV market stood at 1.5 percent in the first quarter and 0.8 percent in the second quarter this year.
Usually, a market leader releases a next-generation product and late starters follow the move. Previously, other TV manufacturers has copied Samsung Electronics’ products when the electronics giant launched new TV products, including curved, smart and UHD TVs, even without opening its technologies to them, creating the market together.
However, other TV producers cannot manufacture Quantum Dot TVs because cadmium-free quantum dot displays developed by Samsung Electronics is not easy to realize.
Starting with China in April this year, Samsung Electronics has held the QLED & HDR10 Summit, which exchanges quantum dot TV technologies, in the United States and Germany but it is not enough to expand the bloc.
The company is trying to expand the Quantum Dot TV bloc because the QLED brand can gain popularity when more and more TV producers around the world introduce quantum dot TV technologies, taking the leadership in the market.
An official from the industry said, “The number of OLED TVs has been rapidly increasing from the beginning of this year but it is difficult to expand Quantum Dot TVs. LG Display can supply OLED panels to TV makers but there is no firm that can supply quantum dot displays which are high technologies of materials.”

No, what you posted you read between the lines and misinterpreted.
This quote is from two weeks ago:
Apple may have only just launched its first iPhone with an OLED screen, but technology never stands still. The company is reportedly pressing ahead with work on the microLED display technology which is expected to supersede OLED within the next few years.
microLED screens take some of the key benefits of OLED over LCD yet further, offering even greater brightness, color saturation and power efficiency …

What I posted is "Current" and not from 2015.
Much has been accomplished in 2 years....Ya Think ???
Sunny
Nothing you've posted suggests you are correct. By all accounts, Samsung has been Cd-free since they started making QD TVs.
Yes, I read it. Maybe you should do the same. It says EXACTLY what I said it says. Samsung is Cd-free and Nanosys has developed hyperion. That's all it says. I read the whole article for that matter, and it's quite clear that the author's grasp on the subject is tenuous at best.
ITS MARKETING...Samsung was "NEVER CADMIUM FREE" their "GREEN QUANTUM DOTS ARE CADMIUM BASED and never have been "CADMIUM FREE"
Its not my technical article...it is another data point..
Samsung can only be "QUALIFIED" at this point as "CADMIUM SAFE"
Regards
Sunny:>)))
What are you talking about? Where have you seen that Samsung uses Hyperion dots? Where have you seen ANYTHING that says Samsung is anything but Cd-free?
I agree, and that's exactly my point. You appear to be saying that Samsung is moving in the other direction - from Cd-free to Cd-safe.
On the other board, you wrote "“Cd-safe means contains <100 ppm Cd in the component to be compatible with the RoHS regulation." means Samsung.
How else can that be interpreted but to say that Samsung is going from Cd-free to Cd-safe (i.e. some Cd)?
The direction of all manufacturers is to "ELIMINATE CADMIUM"
One needs to understand just how bad this stuff really is
The EU and CHINA get it...That is expressly why they are replacing it.
Regards
Sunny:>)))
Are you kidding me!!
Nanosys has developed Hyperion quantum dots that mix cadmium-free red and cadmium-based green quantum dots into a single film that produces narrower green. The result produces cadmium levels below 100 ppm to meet the RoHS directive
I don't see anything in what you posted that says Samsung has used anything but Cd-free to date, in fact it's quite specific that Samsung is Cd-free. Also, I don't see anything that says Samsung has accepted Cd-safe.
Here is a working link for the last article you referenced: https://www.twice.com/news/look-4k-ultra-hdtvs-get-brighter-cheaper-63888
Apparently, you and I shouldn’t communicate via written text, lol. Maybe a beer at a bar would be better suited for us, lol!
What if he assumed he could meet the 30 day when he wrote the shareholder letter, but wasn’t sure?
Maybe at the time of the shareholder letter, he thought he would make the 11/13 (30 day deadline), but wasn’t positive. Thus, he apparently decided to use the word “grace period.” Him using “grace period” is a fact. Your whole what-if or why didn’t he is just stirring the pot. If you want an answer, have you tried emailing the company? I know those who have and they usually get responses however small the details might be.
Need to take a close look at Hisense from China....They are well ahead of the game. Both 55" and 65" displays are 1000nit....if that cannot be quantified....then look it up...that is absolutely huge..

NO, SAMSUNG IS NOT "CADMIUM FREE"
P Lease refer to the last paragraph and the link provided to the "Author" and their last paragraph I provided. It's analogous to being a "Little bit pregnant" either you are or you are not...PERIOD
RoHS compliance in China
Quote: It is also worth keeping in mind the use of the phrase “based on the actual industrial development situation” in RoHS 2, Article 17. This points to the fact that the Chinese authorities will consider whether the development of the electrical and electronic products is at a level, in China, where technology makes feasible the use of substitutes for the restricted substances.
Quote: Article 10 Producers of electrical and electronic products, in producing or manufacturing electrical and electronic products,shall not violate any mandatory standards or laws, or standards concerning which administrative laws and regulations require implementation. Also, in fulfilling the requirements of national or industry standards for restricted use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products,producers shall adopt materials,technologies, and production techniques that have high resource utilization rates, are easy to recycle and treat, that facilitate environmental protection,and that restrict or phase out the use of hazardous substances in [electrical and electronic] products.
https://www.manufacturingindustryadvisor.com/...clean2.pdf
If a display can be manufactured with Quantum Dot's that contain no amount of "Cadmium" while meeting the "REC 2020" will be a huge advantage..
Quote: For Samsung, Nanosys has developed quantum dots free of toxic cadmium to comply with the European Union’s Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS). But this approach makes it difficult to meet Rec. 2020, because the blue and the green primaries for Rec. 2020 are very close together. Nanosys has developed Hyperion quantum dots that mix cadmium-free red and cadmium-based green quantum dots into a single film that produces narrower green. The result produces cadmium levels below 100 ppm to meet the RoHS directive
https://www.twice.com/news/look-4k-ultra-hdtv...aper-63888
QMC has the key "BLUE CADMIUM FREE" all three "RGB" are 100% cadmium free at 250 degrees and are exceeding 90% of the "REC 2020".

Sunny:> ))
Nanosys owns most of the current market. Every commercial display out there is cadmium based with exception of Samsung’s.
So where are they getting their dots?
We all agree QD is the future, it just sucks that the only publicly traded option is QMC.
I think if there were other options, investors would go there solely based on the tom-foolerery going on here.
THE PR's are always the same with most all my penny stocks. Cryptic and lacking in substance with something positive just around the corner. Hoping QMC is different, but they are still leaving us all wanting.
totally in line with all the other OTC stock... hence the frustration.
The 10-K was due to SEC on 9/28/17.
Company issued NT 10-K on 9/28/17.
NT extended “on-time” date 15 days until 10/12/17.
Company issued Shareholder Update on 10/19/17 and stated “We will be filing the 10K within the allotted grace period…”
Assuming that there is only a 30 day grace period from the end of the NT period, then the grace period would have been set to end on 11/11/17, 23 days after the SH Update was issued.
So when the SH Update was issued, the company may have fully expected, or at least hoped, that the issues with the lender would be resolved sufficiently to allow the 10-K to be filed before the end of “grace period” and stated such.
So now the 11/11/17 date has passed (today is 11/21/17) and the 10-K and the subsequent 10-Q have not been filed. Would I like another update on the status of the filings and a new forecast date? Sure. Do I think that the company can give me a new firm date. No, I think the issues with the lender have become too fluid to make absolute predictions.
So I will just wait and let the company deal with the issues. I do not need to be constantly spoon fed information that may just change and further cloud the status of the company. I’ll let the company decide how to deal with the lender and do what needs to be done to protect the company, which protects my investment.
I have spent some time reviewing the SEC regulations, the FINRA rules, and the OTC guidelines enough to believe that the company is not in eminent danger of having trading halted or being delisted, especially since they are on the OTC.
As an example, another company that I follow is Hain Celestial Group (HAIN), which is a $4 billion food products company and listed on the NASDAQ, where the listing requirements are much tougher than the OTC.
In mid-2016, HAIN identified internal accounting issues and was unable to file its 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 by the August 29, 2016 due date. They issued a NT 10-K in August. They then failed to file their next three 10-Qs in Nov 2016, Feb 2017, and May 2017. They finally filed their 2016 10-K and the three 10-Qs in June 2017, almost 10 months late. So 4 missed filings and they did not get delisted from the NASDAQ during that time.
There are many rules and regulations but if you review them, you may see that there are many exceptions and appeals, and that they are not simple black and white, make a mistake and you are gone. Lots of drawn out processes and even discretion involved.
They have their own display or film IP, but they do not have qdot manufacturing IP.
Agreed, but even the prototypes...who's dots were they using? In the past they have not been using QMC dots... why would they now? Just saying, from reading the article you posted, it appears the display manufacturers already have there own Quantum technology.
Thanks RPR,
ELQD.. Very smart. Nanosys IP (brand) or industry wide moniker?
glta
We will be
filing the 10K within the allotted
grace period and will make every
effort to communicate more on this
topic as appropriate. I want to thank
all of you for your continued
patience and support.
Well, that didn't happen. So do we take the bigger hit by getting delisted or from the predatory lender. QMC must believe the latter.
Nanosys Wants Printing Quantum Dot Displays to be as Cheap as Printing a T-Shirt
https://spectrum.ieee.org/nanoclast/semiconductors/devices/printing-quantum-dot-displays-could-be-as-cheap-as-printing-a-tshirt
"Nanoco" was me typing too fast.
That article is wrong about Hansol being the second source - at least in any meaningful way - maybe they sent them some early samples or something like that. It seems pretty clear that Hansol was the original (and as far as I can tell, the only) source:
Nanoco (yes, Nanoco) mentions Hansol as Samsung's manufacturing partner in this 2015 ROHS response: http://rohs.exemptions.oeko.info/fileadmin/user_upload/RoHS_Pack_10/Cd_QD_Exs_Nanoco_Response_to_RoHS_Questions_27_Oct_2015.pdf
Here is a February 2015 article saying Samsung developed the technology and Hansol was making it. http://www.businesskorea.co.kr/english/news/ict/9097-quantum-dot-displays-chemical-companies-and-material-manufacturers-focusing-quantum
This 2015 article talks about how Samsung picked Hansol over Dow with no mention of Nanosys: http://www.pressreader.com/korea-republic/the-korea-times/20150403/281835757209322
Nanosys didn't have commercial Cd-free capability in 2015. As far as I can tell they may only have commercial capability just now with their [Cd-safe] Hyperion product.

When superradiance dominated, the intensity of light emitted in the presence of graphene was also found to be three times higher than what could have been achieved using quantum dots alone.
As in I wish they were on the OTC and I could invest in them instead of QTMM.

Team achieves light amplification with electrically stimulated quantum dots
November 20, 2017
In a breakthrough development, Los Alamos scientists have shown that they can successfully amplify light using electrically excited films of the chemically synthesized semiconductor nanocrystals known as quantum dots. The quantum dot films are integrated into devices much like the now-ubiquitous light-emitting diodes (LEDs), but, in this case designed to sustain the high current densities required for achieving the optical-gain regime. One sees laser diodes every day in laser pointers, barcode readers and the like, and a key element of such devices is an optical-gain medium, which instead of absorbing incident light, amplifies it.
"Optical gain with electrically excited quanum dots is now a reality," said Victor Klimov, head of the quantum dot team at Los Alamos. "We have been working to develop new lasing media, using chemically synthesized quantum dots, although it had been widely believed that quantum dot lasing with electrical stimulation is simply impossible," he said. "By using our specially designed dots, we can avoid energy losses created by Auger recombination."
New lasers, made more efficiently
These results demonstrate the feasibility of a new generation of highly flexible, electrically pumped lasers processible from solutions that can complement or even eventually displace existing laser diodes fabricated using more complex and costly vacuum-based epitaxial techniques. These prospective devices can enable a variety of applications, from RGB laser modules for displays and projectors, to multi-wavelength micro-lasers for biological and chemical diagnostics.
Designer Dots With No Heat Loss
In the new report published today in Nature Materials , the Los Alamos team demonstrates that using their "designer" quantum dots, they can achieve light amplification in a nanocrystal solid with direct-current electrical pumping. The key property of the novel quantum dots, underlining the success of the conducted study, is a carefully engineered particle interior in which the material's composition is continuously varied along a radial direction. This approach eliminates sharp steps in the atomic composition which would normally trigger Auger recombination. As a result, the engineered quantum dots feature nearly complete suppression of Auger effect's heat loss, and this allows for redirecting the energy released by the electrical current into the light-emission channel instead of wasteful heat.
The Los Alamos nanotechnology team originally discovered the lasing effect in semiconductor nanocrystals in 2000. In these proof-of-principle experiments, reported in the journal Science, the quantum dots were stimulated with very short (femtosecond) laser pulses used to outcompete optical gain decay caused by the Auger process. Short optical gain lifetimes create an especially serious problem in the case of electrical pumping, which is an inherently slow process as electrons and holes are injected into the quantum dot one-by-one.
Staying focused
Another important element of this work is a special "current-focusing" device architecture which allows the high current densities necessary for achieving optical gain. The method used by Los Alamos researchers was to taper one of the charge-injection electrodes, limiting the size of the current-conducting area to less than 100 microns. Using this strategy, they were able to produce current concentration sufficient to reach the regime of light amplification without damaging either the dots or the injection layers.

Not sure where Nanoco comes into this discussion other than from a blunder by Solar. You asked for confirmation that Hansol has a deal with Nanosys, I provided it. Nanosys was the first source, Hansol the second since Samsung traditionally does as much in house or at least as much in South Korea as possible.
In a smart city near you. TM
Soon enough we will all be surprised
By Stevie’s labour of love especially the valiant evangelical longs!
Thanks, but that doesn't make sense. It says Hansol is the second source. I don't remember ever reading anything that says Samsung has purchased QDs from Nanoco for commercial production. There are articles published almost two years earlier that say Hansol is the source.
Try this:
"In addition, Samsung and Nanosys have also created a second QD source, Hansol, under a license and royalty agreement with Nanosys to ensure there are no disruptions of supply for the #1 TV brand."

“If this is true then all he had to do was state clearly how long of an extension was granted.”
All I’m trying to say is that maybe he didn’t know how long it would take which is why he didn’t say it in the shareholder letter. Maybe I’ll be more direct next time since you can’t seem to get what I was implying.
Yes, I agree, an update would be nice. I prefer facts over the constant story telling, speculation, that we do here.
This is a chat board meant for sharing thoughts. I routinely share my opinion and I don’t take offense to you sharing yours, but I make no promise that I’ll agree with others opinions, but I’ll let you know when I do agree. ;)
What companies? There are only a few with commercial product on the market. Samsung, TCL, Hisense, snd ASUS have products you can currently buy. The others have simply shown prototypes at the shows and stated they plan to have commercial products in 4Q 2017 or 1Q/2Q 2018.
There are dozens of OEMs. How many times have we seen a prototype at a electronics show and never saw the commercial release to date? The answer is dozens.
I have sold out of companies and have never looked back, I don't understand that if you feel that QMC has no chance capturing any film/display maker why you would continue to post. Their marketcap only reflects their Flow Production and Patents at this point.
Yes they use Hansol's Dots, the Licensing is thru Nanoco from what I understand.
Why did they only list GTG?? They forgot all those potential film partners
This industry has just started. Samsung is the only Display maker who has used Cad Free QD's up to this point thru their licensing thru Nanosys. Nanoco has had ties with DOW which has led to zero revenue. QMC capacity is expected to expand. Believe what you will, QD's are expected to surpass OLED's over the next few years besides Lighting and Solar and other areas for applications.

The QDX™ Platform combines the molecular power of quantum dots and the security of distributed ledger technology (blockchain) to address the $1.2 trillion global counterfeiting and product liability problem.? The QDX platform is a cost effective passive additive technology that dramatically enhances tracking and security utilizing smart device technology.? Multiple global companies have begun exploration of the technology and how it can be implemented into their product lines and supply chains. Sectors such as apparel, luxury brands, oil & gas, high security ink and paper, defense, environmental, cannabis and many more are looking for solutions such as the QDX platform with the desire to integrate across their supply chains. Stay tuned for more exciting news to come about the QDX platform in 2020.
2019 Was an exciting year for QMC! We achieved significant steps to monetization of our quantum dot technology. We hit many important milestones technologically and commercially. QMC made a key acquisition with the purchase of Capstan platform digital assets and key hires to support expansion and growth. Solar production demand is increasing dramatically as does demand for quantum dots in the display space all of which QMC is leveraging to produce revenues and position itself as the leader in high volume, high quality, environmentally friendly quantum materials and production technologies.
Another major development is the QDX platform and our integration of quantum dot production and DLT/blockchain. It has become clear that quantum dots have the potential to be used in many applications as markers to identify physical items in specific locations in time and space. Up until now there was no way to identify the dots uniquely or serialize the dots. The QDX platform for the first time in history bonds the physical and the digital in a tamper proof highly secure digital environment. For the first time dots will be “branded", registered and serialized as they are produced and associated with a cryptographic hash identifier in the blockchain.
In another industry first QDX Ledger incorporating the latest distributed ledger protocols including Hyperledger Sawtooth and DAML. We will be sharing more details as the development nears completion in the third quarter. In the meantime, we are seeking proof of concepts with a number of significant companies that see the benefits of being early adopters of industry use cases. This technology opens up a myriad of business use cases and opportunities to fight the global $1.2 trillion counterfeit and product liability problem we are all affected by. We are well positioned to be the first quantum dot enabled revenue producing use case in the global track and trace marketplace.
Display manufacturers continue to court us and our cadmium free quantum dot technologies. As mentioned in our 2019 highlights, the achievement of the industry first 100% cadmium free RoHS compliant, quantum dot LCD display film to exceed 95% Rec. 2020 color gamut created inquiries for testing with multiple display OEMs to potentially license our capabilities. As many of you may have seen this last holiday shopping season, QLED and quantum displays are now mainstream. The demand for environmentally friendly quantum dots is exponentially higher than 12 months ago as evidenced by this headline: "Samsung to invest $11bn in cutting-edge quantum dot displays" - Nikkei Asian Review Moving into 2020. QMC is well positioned to take advantage of this new mass adoption of quantum dot displays and is hard at work to validate its next generation technology to the display screen marketplace.
There seems to be much misinformation regarding the uptake of quantum dots in displays. The marketplace is very dynamic and is rapidly become commoditized. Other than Samsung all, other QD displays are using some cadmium. As the Chinese display manufactures have now embraced cadmium solutions inexpensive cadmium display films are entering the market at low prices. All other current solutions require a barrier film in order to pass the long-term stability testing. QMC recognized that in order to succeed in this marketplace we need to deliver a cadmium free product that is RoHS compliant, provides superior REC 2020 performance and meet the stability requirements at a price point competitive with the Chinese pure cadmium offerings. The only way to achieve this was to eliminate the need for the barrier film. QMC has just completed the stability testing of this product and anticipate introducing it to the market during 2020. In parallel to this effort we remain active in our effort to license our display technologies to one or more significant display industry companies.
Solar demand and opportunities continue to grow. Though the Assam India solar project, our licensee had delays due to weather and is now moving forward and back on track and projections for our licensees’ quantum dot production have increased which is welcome news. We have also identified additional regions in India and the Middle East who desire to license our technologies in the same way. We are working to upgrade micro reactor equipment to be more secure, handle greater demand and work more efficiently and with less maintenance.
We know many of you have questions about the company’s filing status. We have been working with our auditors and counsel to complete our disclosures, particularly in regard to equities. The company has a number of complex transactions and we are making an extra effort to detail these in our disclosures.
Our Assam licensees have assured us that they are working diligently to make up for time lost due to the recent historical flooding that the Assam region experienced. We have been informed that the site work is nearing completion and that some construction is being conducted offsite as prefabricated components. Our licensee has already made significant payments and additional payments are due to us once the reactors are setup and tested. This will allow us to recognize revenue once these benchmarks are met. We will also be delivering pre and post processing equipment this year.
We have continued to maintain aggressive cost control measures, never forgetting this is a marathon and not a sprint. We believe we will be able to duplicate our Assam license model in other regions and we are working diligently to monetize our quantum dot solar technology and display material technologies via licensing.
Our Assam India licensee has reported that now that the flood waters have subsided, site work is being completed and as much construction as feasible is being prefabricated off site. They have expressed their dedication to making every effort to make up for time lost due to mother nature wrath.
We believe our QDX Ledger Platform can help solve the worldwide counterfeit products problem. We also believe this will create significant value for QMC as a foundation for numerous recurring revenue income streams. We are continuing to focus more resources on R&D and with our continuous flow technology we have been able to leverage every dollar spent. To further streamline our operations we have continued to analyze our operating costs and make reductions whenever and wherever possible.
2020 looks to be another exciting year as we build and grow on our successes of 2019. The whole team is grateful for your continued support. The future is bright!

“This is an important milestone in consolidating and protecting our intellectual property for large scale volume synthesis of non-cadmium quantum dots,” Quantum Materials founder and CEO Stephen Squires stated. “Continuous synthesis micro-reaction technology is the solution for synthesis of high-quality nanoparticles due to the many advantages our patented process provides, including precise temperature control, mixing efficiencies, fast reaction speed and parallel operation for scalable volume production.
Quantum dots refer to one of several promising materials niche sectors that recently have emerged from the burgeoning growth area of nanotechnology. Quantum dots fall into the category of nanocrystals, which also includes quantum rods and nanowires. As a materials subset, quantum dots are characterized by particles fabricated to the smallest of dimensions from only a few atoms and upwards. At these tiny dimensions, they behave according to the rules of quantum physics, which describe the behavior of atoms and sub atomic particles, in contrast to classical physics that describes the behavior of bulk materials, or in other words, objects consisting of many atoms.
Quantum Dots measure near one billionth of an inch and are a non-traditional type of semiconductor. They can be used as an enabling material across many industries and are unparalleled in versatility and flexible in form.
These highly efficient tetrapod QD are available across the entire light wavelength from UV to IR spectra and very narrow bandwidth is common. Selectivity of arm width and length is very high allowing different characteristics to be emphasized. Capping with shells and dyes adds desired properties. A custom mixture of quantum dots tuned to optimal wavelengths is easy to create, and projects will have the advantage of unprecedented flexibility and quantities for determining the optimal quantum dot without the time, expense and poor quality of batch synthesis methods.
