What to Expect at CES 2016
Car stuff, car stuff, and more car stuff
TVs. Always TVs.
We’re probably also going to see a lot more OLED TVs from other companies, hopefully at affordable prices. Panasonic will definitely be among them, having shown off an OLED set at IFA 2015 in Berlin a few months back.

CES is (almost) all about cars this year
By Richard N. Velotta
Las Vegas Review-Journal
If you didn't know any better, you'd think this year's edition of CES, an international consumer electronics show, is all about cars.
Dozens of the new product introductions to be made next week at the Las Vegas Convention Center and the Sands Expo Center will come from auto companies.
CES attracts an estimated 170,000 people from around the world. The show is open to consumer electronics professionals, but not to the public.
The 170,000 is a conservative estimate; last year, 176,676 made their way to the largest CES ever. But this year, organizers say they will cap registrations at between 150,000 and 170,000 to improve the quality of the show.
The popularity and expected growth of CES have made its sponsor, the Consumer Technology Association, one of the key backers of the plan to expand and refurbish the Las Vegas Convention Center.
The four-day show technically opens Wednesday and runs through Saturday. But veterans know there are nearly as many events and press previews before the show as there are during it.
CES organizers and more than 4,000 media members will show up at McCarran International Airport around the time New Year's Eve revelers depart after their three-day holiday weekend.
One of the preview events will hold particular interest to Southern Nevadans. Faraday Future, the electric car company that last month announced it is building a 900-acre, $1 billion car manufacturing plant at Apex, will have a pre-show announcement about its car.
What exactly Faraday will show remains a mystery, but the company indicated it would unveil "a concept" Monday night.
Faraday will be joined at CES by nine of the world's top 10 auto manufacturers, and the amount of space dedicated to auto technology is up 25 percent from last year, said Karen Chupka, senior vice president of CES.
"It's fair to say that the automotive manufacturers are going to launch all their new technologies at CES," Chupka said. "It dovetails very nicely since the Detroit Auto Show occurs right after our show, so the companies will show their technology here and then show it to the auto manufacturers."
Some of the companies exhibiting at CES specialize in self-driving — or autonomous — vehicles, while others are introducing gadgets to help motorists.
Dallas-based Vinli, for example, is introducing a device that plugs into a vehicle's data port and turns it into a "smart" car.
During CES, Vinli will provide 500 Uber drivers with Vinli devices, which will make the cars into mobile WiFi hot spots. The devices can also wirelessly connect to other transportation-related applications and roadside assistance.
Automotive gadgets aren't the only products that will be unveiled at CES.
Chupka 29 exhibitors will be showing unmanned aerial systems — drones — this year, up 200 percent from 2015. The number of wearable technology companies will be up 300 percent.
Other exhibits will highlight robotics, smart-home technology and high-end home-entertainment systems.
CES serves as a showcase allowing startup entrepreneurs to market their products to large distributors. This year, 500 startups will exhibit at CES, compared with 375 last year. A record 2.4 million square feet of exhibits are planned, with the largest show floors at the Convention Center and Sands Expo Center. There also will be exhibits at Westgate Las Vegas, Renaissance Las Vegas, the Palazzo and Venetian, Wynn and Encore, Aria, Vdara and the Cosmopolitan.
The list of keynote speakers at the conference is a who's who of top technology executives. Among those scheduled to make addresses are Brian Krzanich, CEO of Intel; Herbert Diess, CEO of Volkswagen Passenger Cars; Reed Hastings, CEO of Netflix; Mary Barra, CEO of General Motors; Ginny Rometti, chairman and CEO of IBM; W.P. Hong, president of Samsung; and Robert Kyncl, chief business officer of YouTube.

Food for Happy thoughts while I load up the vechile
LOL, like many here; just bring on the 1st LT revenue generating contract and we'll roll happily along
.....back at it for me
j45's point was valid. There have been some instantances where a RS has been implemented in a creative and successful manner.
It's also true that people tend to act on their own knowledge, experience, and perception.
.......and it's true that members here would prefer not to have a RS.
Should such action ever be pursued by QMC I would suggest more correspondence with the company both to request more information
to better understand their perspective and to personally let our opinion(s) be known.
......on a personal note: I for one, am appreciative of the financial experience j45 brings to the msg bd.
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone, (I'll be out for a bit)
Looking Forward
that's like poking someone w/a stick. Yes, sometimes it can be successful, but it doesn't change the fact that some trade not
only on knowledge, but also expectation and perception. The overall perception of a RS is usually negative.
There is another thing to consider: quite a few LT sh were here for the increase, then if there were an RS they take it in the
shorts, (again....as part of the increase was to make qmc more difficult to take over, (a poison pill)).
Should things go as hope for, demand may cause another increase, (again doesn't mean sh will get any of those shares).
.....at what point would you expect sh to really get pissed? That might be a good outcome for quick trades, but definitely not one I'd like to see......quick trade opportunities or not. I'd lot rather see SS continue to follow through w/stated intentions.

Exclusive: Quantum Materials inks deal with optical film manufacturer Nitto
By Wan Fan | September 23, 2015 08:54 GMT | London/Europe
Nitto Denko reported revenues of $6.8 billion in 2014. The firm manufacture film for a variety of industries including the display markets, automotive and medical industries. Photo: Nitto Denko
Quantum Materials announced on Tuesday it had entered into a “funded product development agreement” with Nitto Denko, the Japanese optical film manufacturer. OTCQB-listed Quantum Materials said it hoped the agreement would accelerate the integration of its quantum dots into the broader displays market.
The deal with the Osaka-based optical film manufacturer was reported in Quantum Material’s latest SEC 8-K filing. Nitto Denko manufactures film for a variety of industries, including the display markets, automotive and medical industries, and reported revenues of $6.8 billion last year.
Quantum Materials has been slower than some competitors to secure development agreements and partnerships with consumer electronics manufacturers. This deal may signal a turning point in its bid to commercialise and bring to market its quantum dots.
“This agreement provides Quantum Materials with the opportunity to accelerate integration of Quantum Dots into the broader display market. We believe our high-reliability QDX Quantum Dots provide a more attractive solution since they do not require the use of expensive barrier films, which represents a significant cost savings in display manufacturing,” said Stephen Squires, CEO of Quantum Materials.
The company was also keen to stress that they are well-placed to compete with some of their larger competitors.
When questioned about the company’s position in relation to Nanoco, Nanosys and QD Vision, Squires added: “First, in terms of Quantum Dot production capability I believe we have right now greater capacity than at least two of the aforementioned competitors and possibly all three.”
“I believe our QDX Quantum Dots are a superior product and Quantum Materials Corp has already proven that we can scale up production much more quickly than our competition. When you factor in our production cost advantages we have a value proposition that display manufacturers cannot ignore, and quite frankly they aren’t.”
Quantum Materials also recently announced they had entered a joint development agreement with an unnamed “leading” displays manufacturers.

Jamis, my apology if offended.
The point is that with a more positive atmosphere, (w/o ridicule of honest efforts) we had a more productive msg bd. w/a single
goal of discovery and learning more.
If one day nothing produced re information is labeled irrelevant; but other information "only" is labeled relevant; then only chaos
remains.
I'm chatting w/you, because I think this conversation needs to be out there. I also think it's your nature to think things over
and you try to be fair-minded.
Hopefully, this msg bd will benefit from our effort toward better understanding and resolution re perceived negative atmosphere.

....wouldn't want to be remiss in the Big picture scheme of things would we? ; )
Nanoparticles are particles between 1 and 100 nanometers in size. In nanotechnology, a particle is defined as a small object that
behaves as a whole unit with respect to its transport and properties. Particles are further classified according to diameter.
A quantum dot (QD) is a crystal of semiconductor material whose diameter is on the order of several nanometers
Nanorods are one morphology of nanoscale objects. Each of their dimensions range from 1–100 nm.
Nanotechnology deals with dimensions and tolerances of less than 100 nanometers, especially the manipulation of individual atoms and molecules.
As nanotech entails building from the small to the large and qds are incorporated into processes, how do you determine the needs for qds w/o knowledge of the whole? Can we just study the science of qds and pre-determine mkt needs and direction?
If desire is all things QD, why isn't there information about all 20 companies,(available since 2010) that produce QDs?
Some of those can also produce nanorods and etc.....is that considered important?
Is this a msg bd about QMC or every QD company out there? If it's about qds and competition, why isn't specificity and opinion
included as to why it's considered competitive so an actual discussion could be had?
Should we post information about Sigma Aldrich, Invitrogen, and others, (since they may be considered competitive wrt qds for medical)?
We all know QMC's niche is mass production according to companies' specifications.
How many other companies also make claims to mass production according to companies' specifications? That's the competition.
How many are publically traded companies? That's direct competition for investors $$$.
Whom do you consider QMC's competitors and of those whom is considered direct competitor(s)?
WRT all things QD: I like the science because it often indicates things yet to be.
QMC is on the cusp of breaking out as a supplier to companies in the nanotech field, imo.
Do you still want info about all things QD? If so, when can we expect to see the reflections of your footsteps being congruent with your desire?
wrt negativity about posts, I think it's more about diffusive information w/o specificity or opinion, (other than neg aspects
at times).
A msg bd of investors and those seeking knowledge would seem to imply an inherent positive bias. This bd was positive and
fun at one time. It was also very productive w/information, as indicated by the intro. I'd say very positive given the amount of
free labor and hours put into it, (when not much was available).
Your post indicates a neg bias now; have you discerned the real reason why?
Appreciate your input.

‘Well over 2000 companies worldwide [are] already involved in nanotechnology’ reads the headline of a NanoWerk News(link is external) article; it continues to explain that, '[a]t the latest count, over 2100 companies from 48 countries are involved in nanotechnology research, manufacturing or applications - a number that keeps growing at a considerable pace'.
'With more than 1100 companies, the U.S. is home to roughly half of all nanotechnology firms. 670 companies are in Europe, 230 in Asia and 210 elsewhere in the world. Within Europe, Germany is represented with 211 companies, followed by the UK with 146 companies'.
'Over 270 companies are involved in the manufacture of raw materials such as nanoparticles, nanofibers and -wires, carbon nanotubes, or quantum dots. More than 340 companies are active in life sciences and pharmaceutical fields. The vast majority with well over half of all companies are involved in manufacturing instruments, devices, or advanced materials and components.'
NanoWerk supports the statistics with a link to the Nanotechnology Company Directory(link is external), which groups nanotechnology companies into four main categories:
• raw materials
• biomedicine and life sciences
• products, applications, and instruments
• services and intermediaries

.....of course Universities and Laboratories spin-off companies, (as recent posts indicate) Hence All Things related to nanotech should be posted; (then discounted as not relevant according to past posts).
Question: Why is such info now considered relevant now, but not then? Better question; How does info lead to 1%+ ownership of company?
Consider every PR/Q/K and timely info flows which follow and questions may be answered, (just tol from my pov).
Funny, how only Displays were relevant,.......wait for it.....then QLeds........and now Optics get mentioned.......Wonder if TFTs, Sensors, and etc. will also become relevant in due time?
Regardless, as this is now only a Nano Discussion Bd, here is a more current list of 20 QD Mfgs

Taipei, July 21, 2004 (CENS)--Nitto Denko Corp. of Japan, the world's largest maker of polarizers, plans to set up a new front-section polarizer production plant in Central Taiwan Science Park (CTSP) in a bid to meet the increasing demand from local thin film transistor-liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) panel makers.
Nitto Denko was the first investor in the CTSP and it originally planned to set up only the cutting facility to meet the increasing demands from the expanded panel capacities of AUO and Chi Mei Optoelectronics Corp. (CMO)'s new panel plants. Industry sources said that the Japanese polarizer maker's new project is expected to help the local TFT-LCD panel industry develop stronger competitiveness.
Industry sources said that the top-five makers of large-sized TFT-LCD panels in Taiwan are expected to invest over NT$1 trillion (US$29.5 billion) in the coming few years for their new-generation (5.5-, sixth-, seventh- and 7.5th-generation) panel business deployment, including AUO's projects to pour a total of NT$400 billion (US$11.8 billion) and Chunghwa Picture Tubes, Ltd.'s NT$420 billion (US$12.39 billion) for mainly LCD TV panel production.
Nitto Denko currently accounts for 60% of the global polarizer supply, and the firm's polarizer business division is expected to have revenue of 198 billion yen in this fiscal year, up 42% from last year. The Japanese company currently also runs two integrated plants in Japan to produce such products from front to rear sections.

INFORMATION DISPLAY
Although some of that success was due to post-war assistance from the U.S., the major factor has been the country’s unique economic policy, which ensured close cooperation among government bodies, manufacturers, banks, unions, etc.
JDI itself is the result of a 2012 merger of Sony, Toshiba, and Hitachi’s LCD divisions (financed by the Innovation Network Corporation of Japan
When asked about the role of the Japanese display industry on a global level, JDI’s Kubota responded: “The role of Japan’s display industry is to lead in innovating technologies for display panels, related materials, parts, and production facilities.”
As for rumors of its demise as an economic superpower, they are premature. Japan continues to do quite well. Japan’s display industry itself has several factors in its favor. One is the country’s overall history of consumer-electronics excellence. Another is the willingness of different industry entities to join together in a common cause and the willingness of government to support those efforts. The formation of JDI, for example, was not a reactive cost-cutting measure, but a proactive measure designed to meet the competition.

....interesting map
.....Kyocera Display seems most distant w/business relationships, but think they'd also pull together for National pride & World leadership
.....I don't know how tight keiretsu relationships are, but the potential for QMC to be a 1st or 2nd supplier seem good to me, (or maybe indirect).

New Thin-Film Solar Cell Study Finds Greener Manufacturing Alternative
The new thin-film solar cell study from Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) indicates that the industry could transition out of its dependency on toxic solvents in favor of a more environmentally relaxed solvent called a surfactant, which is fancyspeak for detergent.

Controlling molecular ordering in solution-state conjugated polymers
J. Zhu,a Y. Han,b R. Kumar,ac Y. He,a K. Hong,a P. V. Bonnesen,a B. G. Sumpter,ac S. C. Smith,d G. S. Smith,b I. N. Ivanov*a and C. Do*b
Rationally encoding molecular interactions that can control the assembly structure and functional expression in a solution of conjugated polymers hold great potential for enabling optimal organic optoelectronic and sensory materials. In this work, we show that thermally-controlled and surfactant-guided assembly of water-soluble conjugated polymers in aqueous solution is a simple and effective strategy to generate optoelectronic materials with the desired molecular ordering. We have studied a conjugated polymer consisting of a hydrophobic thiophene backbone and hydrophilic, thermo-responsive ethylene oxide side groups, which shows a step-wise, multi-dimensional assembly in water. By incorporating the polymer into phase-segregated domains of an amphiphilic surfactant in solution, we demonstrate that both chain conformation and degree of molecular ordering of the conjugated polymer can be tuned in hexagonal, micellar and lamellar phases of the surfactant solution. The controlled molecular ordering in conjugated polymer assembly is demonstrated as a key factor determining the electronic interaction and optical function.
