Quantum dot semi conductor specialist Nanoco (NANO) has completed the construction of two new lines at its Runcorn plant which will allow it to better serve demand for its quantum dots. It has also revised the terms of a licensing deal with Dow Chemical which means Nanoco will no longer have to contribute to the construction of a production facility in Asia but will take a smaller royalty in return. Full production under the licence is now expected to commence in 2014.

("Nanoco" or the "Company")
Corporate Update
Nanoco Group plc(AIM: NANO), a world leader in the development and manufacture of cadmium-free quantum dots and other nanomaterials, is pleased to announce the following corporate update.
Nanoco has completed the planned expansion of its cadmium-free quantum dot production facility in Runcorn with the installation and commissioning of two further Semi-Tech lines at a planned cost of approximately £1.25 million.
These Semi-Tech lines will be used to fulfil orders for large quantities of sample materials to meet increasing demand for pre-production quantum dots from customers and potential customers across the Company's target markets.
Nanoco also announces that the terms of its global licensing agreement with The Dow Chemical Company ("Dow") have been amended to accelerate the commercialisation of Nanoco's cadmium-free quantum dot technology in the display market.
Under the new terms, Dow continues to hold exclusive worldwide rights for the sale, marketing and manufacture of Nanoco's cadmium-free quantum dots for use in electronic displays.
Changes in the new agreement include the waiving of the requirement for Nanoco to contribute capital to the production plant Dow is preparing to build in Asia. In return, the royalty rate that Nanoco would receive from Dow's sale of quantum dots has been reduced to reflect the changes to the agreement. The adjusted royalties continue to acknowledge the proprietary value of Nanoco's technology.Financial details and other specifics are not being disclosed. The agreement does not include specifics about the anticipated price and volume of quantum dots as these are a function of commercial negotiations with customers.
Dow and Nanoco have committed additional resources to accelerate commercialisation and full production under the licensing agreement is expected to begin in the first half of 2014.
Nanoco continues to make progress in its other core target markets of general lighting and solar energy. Notably, the Company's photovoltaic ink is now achieving an energy conversion efficiency of between 12 per cent and 13 per cent.
Michael Edelman, Nanoco's Chief Executive Officer, commented:"We have been delighted by the progress made by Dow. The amendments to the agreement with Dow better capitalise on our respective strengths and reinforce our collective commitment to commercialise this technology as quickly as possible to meet future market demand.
"We have also continued to make encouraging progress across our business, including a doubling of capacity at Runcorn to meet increasing demand for pre-production samples from display and other customers."

NanoMarkets Issues New Report Examining Use of Quantum Dots in Lighting and Displays
Press release from: NanoMarkets, LC
Glen Allen, Virginia (September 25, 2013) -- Industry analyst firm NanoMarkets today announced the release of its new report, "Market Opportunities for Quantum Dots in Lighting and Displays." In the report the firm states that quantum dots (QDs) will create significant opportunities for electronics manufacturers in the coming years through their ability to enable the creation of higher value intermediary products. Furthermore, the arrival of QDs will pose a significant threat to OLED displays and lighting.
Additional details about the report are available at: www.nanomarkets.net/market_reports/report/market_opportun....
About the Report:
This new NanoMarkets report provides an in depth market analysis of the opportunities emerging within the field of quantum dots (QDs), examining the latest products, strategies and technical developments in electronics applications for these emerging materials. Within the report we assess how QDs are likely to penetrate addressable markets in lighting and display applications and along what time horizon. We also examine the technology hurdles facing QDs broader adoption and how the industry will resolve them. The report also evaluates the potential of QDs vs. competing technologies and provides NanoMarkets opinions on how well QDs will fare.
The report also includes NanoMarkets' assessments of the strategies of leading firms active in the QD space with attention paid as to which are the companies to watch in the market. In addition, detailed and granular forecasts of QD shipments in volume and value terms and by application will be provided.
From the Report:
The value of quantum dot material will be less than $200 million in 2018 growing to $560 million by 2020. Yet there are immediate opportunities to create and sell higher value-added intermediary products using QDs. An example here is 3M's Quantum Dot Enhancement Film (QDEF) which is designed to make it easier for display makers to enhance existing backlighting units (BLUs) with QDs. There is also potential for distinguishing QD products at the material level by adding tunability or making them cadmium-free. High-performance blue QDs will also find a ready market.
TVs, cell phones and notebooks with QD-enhanced LCD displays are already being sold, with Sony, LG, Samsung and Sharp backing this technology. NanoMarkets expects that such products will clock up a healthy $10.5 billion at retail as early as 2016. While some big display firms are doing their own R&D, most are licensing the technology from startups such as QD Vision, Nanosys, Nano Photonica, and Nanoco Group.
Light-emitting QDs may eventually prove a serious challenge to OLEDs in the future. OLED displays are being promoted because of their excellent color and suitability for flexible displays; attributes that QDs can match. However, light-emitting QDs promise better power efficiency with the same level of color purity. In addition, QD emitters do not become burned out in the way that OLEDs do. Although, displays using emissive displays have not shipped yet, by 2018 they are expected to reach $7.3 billion at retail.

IISc scientists to brighten up homes with cheaper lighting
By Papiya Bhattacharya - BANGALORE
Published: 23rd September 2013 09:36 AM
Last Updated: 23rd September 2013 09:36 AM
In what is being as touted as a major breakthrough, researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, have discovered a method that can make bulbs and LED-based systems, including TVs and computer screens, cheaper while also improving their brightness.
The findings, which will also reduce electricity consumption, can be used to send photons or light particles into human bodies. This will have applications in the medical sphere, notably in the detection of cancer cells as photons would make them glow with a distinctive colour.
The discovery is related to the light-emitting characteristics of manganese, a metal used in the manufacture of bulbs and displays. Currently, tiny particles, called quantum dots, are being used in electronic displays and lights.
These are mixed with a tiny amount of metals like cadmium and manganese to make them stable. However, cadmium is highly toxic and harms the body. On the other hand, if manganese is used in these quantum dots, they would only glow in orange colour, unlike bulbs using cadmium, which emitted multiple colours.
Dipankar Das Sarma, Professor and Chairman of the Solid State and Structural Chemistry unit at IISc, and his student Abhijeet Hazarika took a very diluted solution of these nanoparticles, that used manganese, under a microscope.
They found that each of them glowed with a different colour. Sarma said, “The traditional emission spectra of manganese was wide because of colours from a wide array of particles. However, all we saw was orange. We could see the real colours only when the particles were diluted.”
Manganese is added in very small quantities to make quantum dots stable and prevent self-absorption. Scientists have learnt that the ‘band gap’ of this structure, however, cannot be changed, leading to a single colour, orange. Band gap is the space in the structure of insulators, a category of materials, where electrons move about. These band gaps can be changed and colours emitted by electrons will vary accordingly. However, such structures are not stable and one photon may absorb another, leading to zero emission of coloured light.
What scientists at IISc observed was that different quantum dots with manganese had different colours. “A quantum dot’s colour depends on whether most of its manganese is near the surface or near the centre of the nanoparticle,” explained a member of the team.
With this technology, researchers can use manganese-doped samples that would have all colours in the spectrum, unlike only orange, while retaining its long-term stability and absence of self-absorption
quoting SS june 2013
QMC is specifically focusing efforts on capturing a significant market share of the 2013 forecast estimated over $100MM by BCC Research for quantum dots in Bioscience applications.
Focusing efforts on capturing... thats an attempt not a fact not a home run. but a try go get em tigger.
To accomplish this, QMC will demonstrate our tetrapod quantum dots' superiority over standard spherical quantum dots to our diverse customer base.
demonstrate= knock on doors and try to sell.
Now with the shipped samples... usually it would take 3 months of trials for an efficient company. So lets say its a go.
Is Star park ready with packaging and processing and shipping of dots?
3 years+ here and havent seen one pic. Can we see anything...
A geeky lab pic? heck someone pretending to be swallowing some cadmium filled dots would be nice.
the answers are in the q's and k ive been told.
glta.
Serenity is awesome
$$$ now let's make dolla bills $$$
They had Jv with focus graphite
A year ago
I don't know if it continued.
Hi College.
type qtmm on ihub
take a look at what they do.
might be interesting for you..
another one I own is nanoco..
We are not there yet to mass produce industrial quantities of graphene. Now is the answer for the type of graphene would need would be graphene made out of a cvd process or raw graphite.
the glass would probably be raw graphite. but maybe internal components in cvd process.... but I think cvd process would be used
more specifically for nano processes.
You haven't seen bashing.
I should of erased when it said bad word nnocf
If you read the whole thing
It's pretty informative
Nanoco (Quantum Dot Nano-Materials Manufacture) Ready to Roll

QDOTS imagesCAKXSY1K 8Quantum dots developer’s Dow deal a game-changer for digital displays.
The Manchester University spin-off develops and makes quantum dots, tiny, fluorescent semiconductors used to make next-generation electronics. Nanoco’s IP-protected manufacturing method avoids cadmium, a heavy metal banned in many countries, and its trademarked NanoDot technology is used in several applications; solid state lighting, solar panels, even some medical devices.
As we originally predicted, it is in digital displays where the biggest breakthrough has come thanks to a landmark global licensing deal with US giant Dow Chemical (DOW:NYSE) at the start of the year (23 Jan). Quantum dot LED (QLED) displays are set to become the next big trend in consumer electronics.
NANOCO GROUP - Comparison Line Chart (Rebased to first)
Market potential
A report in March from technology analyst Wintergreen Research predicts the QLED display market will hit $6.4 billion by 2019 from a standing start just a couple of years back. The report backs up our theory that once manufacturers learn to integrate quantum dots into products they will be falling over themselves to do so thanks to the technology’s lower energy use and cheaper manufacturing cost.
According to Wintergreen, Samsung (005930:KS) reckons QLED displays could cost half as much as LCD or organic LED (OLED) panels. It also estimates 80% better energy efficiency, for thinner devices with a sharper display.
TVs are a starting point, but expect QLED in smartphones and tablets too as device manufacturers desperately seek ways to defend market share in high margin top-of-the-range products.
As analysts at house broker Canaccord Genuity point out, an increasing number of industry participants share Dow Chemical’s and Nanoco’s confidence that quantum dots are on the cusp of widespread adoption in a $100 billion display market.
Sony (6758:T) already has launched the world’s first quantum dot TV using cadmium-based technology from Nanoco’s privately owned rival QD Vision. But since sales will be barred in many major markets, the US and European Union, mass market products look destined to follow the cadmium-free technology route. Nanoco is already expanding its factory in Runcorn, Cheshire from an annual 25kg capacity to 70kg, beyond initial plans to expand it to 40kg. It is rumoured to be eyeing a brand new set-up in Asia post the Dow deal, with Korea the hot tip.
Liberum sees year to July royalty-based revenues of £4 million rising to £4.6 million in 2014, before the really exciting sales flood in, hitting over £100 million inside five years from a licensing/royalty business model similar to that of UK chip champ ARM (ARM). That would imply over £90 million pre-tax profit thanks to 88% operating margins.
With cash burn running at around £5.5 million a year, its £12.5 million of cash pile should mean Nanoco is unlikely to tap investors for fresh funds. Liberum sees the shares hitting 260p over the next year, while Canaccord is even more optimistic, setting a 275p target price. That could be just scratching the surface of the shares’ longer-term profits potential.
