“We are truly excited to have Dr. Stott join our team,” said Company founder and CEO Stephen Squires. “As one of the foremost leaders in research on quantum dots, Nathan brings a wealth of knowledge and proven experience to the Company. His innovative work in chemistry, material science and nanotechnology and its application to consumer electronics is invaluable as we begin commercializing our technologies.”
Thanks, looks like a lot of fun.
Good post John
Steven even got his pic in the article
Additionally, companies are considering ways to integrate quantum dots directly into existing layers of film, as opposed to layering it in between layers. Quantum Materials, for instance, is working on this, and has a product development agreement with global optical film manufacturer Nitto Denko to advance this type of integration, Squires says. The company also has a joint development agreement with a major display panel manufacturer aimed at optimizing the materials’ performance. Integrating quantum dots into the film would reduce costs along with the need to retool while delivering improved benefits to display producers and consumers, he added

Great Article.
Good stuff Dock, one hell of a proclamation. A proclamation of domination in this sector.
Love the presentation
The vendors in this market are focusing to increase production capacity. They are investing in new processing technologies to produce quantum dots in large amounts, led by growing demand for quantum dots in consumer electronic applications

Sounds like Universtiy of Cali is following Jabbours work
SOLAR ENERGY- no carbon emissions, unlimited supply and available to all. This renewable source is one of the answers to energy independence, but has been previously expensive to implement. Now, with advanced automated tetrapod quantum dot manufacturing, both cost and efficiency concerns are addressed. Although smaller than living cells, quantum.dots can absorb all wavelengths of visible sunlight plus the UV and Infrared. Using proprietary technologies, Solterra will manufacture very low cost solar cells utilizing Quantum Dot Technology for less than the cost of conventional solar cells. By combining Quantum Materials disruptive technologies of novel synthesis, QDX™ coating and automated production, quantum dot supply problems are solved. Solterra will also use R2R production methods invented by QMC Chief Science Officer, Dr. Ghassan Jabbour, that can be scaled by increasing R2R speeds.
Our third generation quantum dot solar cells do not require custom made, expensive ,nor complex, processing equipment, and we do not use costly silicon or rare earth elements such as indium. Solterra instead will rely on low-cost screen printing and/or inkjet techniques applied to inexpensive substrates. Quantum Dot Solar Cells have extremely high potential efficiency, having demonstrated the production of multiple excitons from a single electron.
Quantum Materials patented quantum dot synthesis, developed by Dr. Michael Wong of Rice University has been acquired by Quantum Materials for Solterra Renewable Technologies, Inc. By combining this proprietary, low cost QD manufacture process with automation QD manufacture, the quantities of tetrapod quantum dots needed to supply the daily use requirements of a solar cell plant production can be scaled into the Gigawatts/year range reducing the cost of solar generated electricity to little more than grid price at today's electricity prices. With grid prices expected to continue to increase, renewable solar energy using QMC Quantum Dot Technology will not only cost less but can also be good for the environment
Quantum Materials' Solar cells will come to market competitively priced with the opportunity to reduce prices even further as economies of scale come into effect. Additionally we believe our quantum dot manufacturing capability and print based cell manufacturing process will enable the rapid deployment of additional manufacturing sites across the globe

A huge gain in this direction has now been made by a team of chemists at the University of California, Riverside that has found an ingenious way to make solar energy conversion more efficient. The researchers report in Nano Letters that by combining inorganic semiconductor nanocrystals with organic molecules, they have succeeded in "upconverting" photons in the visible and near-infrared regions of the solar spectrum

Absolutely, seems like we are deliberately left out certain articles for favor of a company across the pond.

However, researchers are already facing a new challenge as the EU Commission is currently considering a ban on cadmium in consumer goods by 2017, due to its damaging effect on the environment - See more at: http://www.materialsforengineering.co.uk/engineering-materials-features/quantum-dots-already-in-trouble/111269/#sthash.oikqKK9Q.dpuf
Despite manufacturers already experimenting with quantum dots, legislative change in the EU could stop a boom in uptake before it ever started - See more at: http://www.materialsforengineering.co.uk/engineering-materials-features/quantum-dots-already-in-trouble/111269/#sthash.oikqKK9Q.dpuf
Let's get this party started, I think we can all agree on that.
Good Read Trev

First Solar Road Surpasses Expectations

Curious how the Market will react Monday to Fridays Q.
If Nanosys, 3M, and QD Vision are among the leading QD companies, Quantum Materials Corp. (San Marcos, Texas) is one of the hopefuls. Although not exhibiting at Display Week, QMC announced in a June 1 press release that it had “launched their new QDX class of high-stability cadmium-free quantum dots….” The release continued, “QDX quantum dots have been tested to withstand heat resistance to 150°C for 4 hours with no oxidation performance degradation in an open-air environment.” When I asked him, QMC PR person Art Lamstein told me the company is in a “pre-revenue” stage. In addition to the company’s original cadmium-based quantum tetrapods based on a Rice University patent, QMC is now also making indium-phosphide dots based on a Bayer patent the company purchased in 2014

Great article Chess
That's not exclusive, most companies will want more than one supplier.
I'm sticking with AUO but who knows, I think we will have several Big boys come calling. Most will want more than one supplier anyways but the benefit of QDX will be a game changer.
Great article Chess, good bit of info that one.
Good question, any revenue would be a step in the right direction. I would say 100,000 to make waves.
I'm grinning
Good find
