Quantum Materials believes that a breakthrough is imminent when pricing of QD solar cells make subsidies unnecessary
Would be cool if it dropped below a dime again. I hope it does, another good opportunity.

Pretty cool but makes one also a little uncomfortable to say the least
The ‘Internet of Things’ is witnessing a rapid growth. Minicomputers linked to items, such as mobile phones, a milk bottle in the fridge, and washing machines can process information, send and receive data.

The UE78KS9500 comes with Samsung's new quantum dot technology, which guarantee an excellent image quality - and completely the toxic substance cadmium waived, which was previously used in displays of numerous TVs. By tiny Nano-crystals, red and green light is produced from blue light. So are particularly energy-efficient Samsung SUHD TVs and deliver yet bold colors such as the alternative OLED displays. Frameless and ultra slim design, the TV looks very chic

GOOD points Trev, with Nanoco circling the toilet with Samsung dropping DOW QMC has the goods.

Good stuff, it's all coming together. MARKET, PROCESS, PARTNERS AND COLLABORATION, CUSTOMERS.
I think I rest my case BigE, Dow will soon move to another vendor or already has. No big deal just business and companies need good price point for their raw materials.
Batch Processing vs. Continuous Flow
https://www.generalkinematics.com/batch-processing-vs-continuous-flow/
San Marcos, Texas based Quantum Materials has been in the lab working on their quantum dot nano-material
designs for a number of years developing a highly stable class of cadmium free quantum dots which maintain their
high performance characteristics even when exposed to water, air and high temperatures. One of the primary
drivers moving this new product format forward is the fact that consumer electronics groups are able to incorporate
quantum dot driven color design directly into existing LCD manufacturing fabs to build this new paradigm in panels
without large capital expenses or extensive retooling of existing lines. High color palette rendering capabilities have
been an essential part of the design upgrade in flat panel displays of late, especially in light of the new UHD (ultra
high definition) pixel geometry - also referred to as 4K - which essentially quadruples the number of pixels in the
screen area bumping up the resolution level to "satellite image" like quality. Quantum Materials proprietary
quantum dot manufacturing process which is known as "continuous flow chemistry" is protected by a substantial
intellectual property estate of patents (from a number of sources including Los Alamos National Labs, Bayer Gmbh
as well as several Universities) and allows Quantum Materials to produce these highly sought after nano-particles in
commercial quantities at low capex and opex cost levels
Dow Chemical loses Samsung QD TV deal
http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/tech/2015/04/133_176411.html
Dow was in this early on and those in Manchester had the first horse in the race. Their process of manufacturing was like the Model T, now comes along the might we say for example the Tesla.
Oh that's funny and you know it. QD is a building block for many processes in manufacturing and biomed. Every process will need to be streemlined to match each every end user needs. You think dumping 100's of millions into an antiquated process somewhere in Korea with fill the need when some new kid on the block can do it for a mere fraction and have multiple samples within reach at their beckon call.
It's just a matter of time, Nanoco has had been infused with several large investments but very little to show for it. You think by now they would be lining up and clearing the store shelves. There is a reason, companies are evaluating price points and testing samples and retesting samples and tweaking their needs. QMC process is much more efficient in mass production. You think with the amount of money that has been invested in company across the pond that a little QD niche will be enough to prop up the enormous investment. NANOCO was set up to be a mass producer of QD, the niche won't suffice. Sink sink sink
It's amazing how small proceeds QMC had to have in order to place their mfc process. Unmatched in the arena of nanoparticles, and to think this process is applied to iron oxide nnpc also
Just watch how this story unfolds and see who is on top at end of year. QMC has the ability to place CFQD where needed. Nanaco needs copious amounts of money to build their process and has huge amount of investment with little return. That ship is sinking buddy.
Hate to say but Nanoco is done
Their manufacturing process came early and is antiquated. They won't be able to compete on price. They won't last long in the market.
Nanoco's days are numbered, their process is just too expensive.
20 million and besides that a far superior product, hmmm

180 million to build the Nanoco/Dow QD facility. WoW, and wow and wow again. Game over perhaps, you be the judge lol.
What could this mean for Quantum Materials going forward? Well, we're glad you asked. QTMM's current capacity is 250kg per year of qd's (and have stated in their corporate PPT that they will soon be placing an order for the next gen scale-up of their proprietary continuous flow micro reactor process that will have a capacity of 1,000kg/year of qd's and could possibly have that online at, or around mid year 2015). The cost of this equipment is nominal and we understand this next gen reactor could cost under $2 million to build and put online. To get some perspective on the disruptive nature of the capex, Nanoco, (1 of 4 primary quantum dot players in the space) announced in September that they are going to be building a facility in South Korea (with partner Dow Chemical) to manufacture qd's that is scheduled to be operational sometime in the first half of 2015 at a cost of roughly $180 million!
That's a good point
It begins
It begins
I think several companies will from niche markets but just one or two will dominate the segment.
Absolutely, and price point also.
I think the argument between continuous flow and batch process are antiquated and will be put to rest soon enough. The Bayer patents solidified our place in the market.
Looks like a vat lol
These are key, and QTMM has this in their back pocket.
According to Susan Eustis, lead author of the team that prepared the study, "Quantum dots QDs are nano-particles in the range of 2 nm to 10 nm diameter. Quantum dots are tiny bits of semiconductor crystals with optical properties that are determined by their size and shape more than material composition. Their small size is of nanoparticles is only now making them able to be manufactured in commercial quantities. They are made through a synthesis process. Strong growth is anticipated as companies master manufacturing techniques that allow consistent production
Quantum Dot (QD) and Quantum Dot LED (QLED) Market is evolving. The quantum dot market depends on techniques for the development of commercial quantity production. Kilogram quantity mass production of quantum dots is a game-changer. High quality, high quantity and low price quantum dots increase the rate of change in consumer electronics markets.

Quantum dots are showing commercial promise for achieving wide color gamuts in LCD displays when used to generate the red and green portions of the spectrum. To date these have been incorporated using a separate optical element or a large-area film. We instead describe a drop-in, on-chip solution to QD-based BLUs
