Ditto. A good chuckle.
These latest articles are significant IMO.
LG have got all the DOW / Nanoco supply soaked up.
THANK YOU
Thanks DD.
Cadmium dots will lead to significant energy savings, so I don't think their appeal will succeed.
Nanoco news release. Not a lot new. Also note that production is not expected to begin until mid-2015.

This debate is going round in circles and I am not sure I can take much more so I'm going to try a self imposed exile and check in a bit less often - maybe only when we get a news day. We all know what we are waiting for. No words will change that. Good luck all
Exactly. Not the first time it has been announced (Stokes shift)
And to add, that anyone who is now focussing on non-display segments only is wrong. The news release is clear enough about the leading display manufacturers who are currently evaluating the product in terms of PRODUCTION samples. It suggests progress, and near term contracts are in sight.
It does not mean they will happen, but QTMM is primed and ready.
QTMM were not ready when Nanosys, QD Vision and Nanoco first got in on the act. QTMM had to catch up, which it evidently has, and the investment case for QTMM still stands
CORRECT. A BIT SAD, HUH?
I suppose there must be sitautions where continuously repeating the same accusation has an effect. Seems really weird to pick this company as a target though? It is clearly not working!! Extraordinary how one person can waste so much time failing when the market is all about making money.
It is impossible to prove a negative so if the company is NOT a scam then it is impossible to prove. However, it would be possible to prove if the company IS a scam. You have said the company is a scam and therefore it is possible for you to provide the evidence for that. And believe me - I am ready to sell the minute you do. Still waiting
Right on cue. Shaping the industry
Waves of selling will commence when we get your Proof Mr RCranga
He offered to supply the proof. Yes please. Still waiting.
That's a "key player"
In the game and must be close to lift off (I'VE HIGHLIGHTED THE POS WITH CAPS):-

1.3 Million TVs and Counting
Posted by Nanoco | On March 6th, 2015 | in Our Business
It’s no secret that there are a lot of scientists and engineers at Nanoco. More than 80% of our employees work in our labs, furthering new applications for our quantum dot technology and nanomaterials.
As scientists, we love numbers and the data gathered from them as they provide the evidence that a particular theory is true, turning great ideas into reality.
We’re especially excited by some recent numbers from DisplaySearch which clearly demonstrate that Quantum dot TVs are “coming on strong.”
The research firm says “LCD TVs, using quantum dots technology will become available this year. . . with 1.3 million shipping worldwide. Shipments of quantum dots TVs are expected to grow to 18.7 million in 2018.”
That surge in shipping TVs is, no doubt, tied to the availability of high-performance cadmium free quantum dots. Leading LCD display makers, like LG, are choosing cadmium-free quantum dots not only for the brilliant displays they enable but because they are also the smarter choice for human and environmental health.
http://www.displaydaily.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=16868:global-quantum-dot-market-player-quantum-materials-launches-cadmium-free-green-and-red-quantum-dots&catid=274:press-releases&Itemid=583
One of the fastest-growing companies in the North American quantum dot market, Quantum Materials, has just introduced Cadmium free green and red quantum dots to the marketplace.
The initial limited production volume of these innovative quantum dots will be sent to a number of consumer electronics manufacturers, selected by Quantum Materials. The firm has also worked to improve the overall stability of its Cadmium-free nanomaterials, thanks to heavy investment in facilities and equipment.
"We were very encouraged with the results of our meetings at CES," said Quantum Materials Corp CEO Stephen Squires. "I personally am even more pleased with the dedication, hard work and creativity of our team. Their discoveries have enabled us to meet the stringent demands and tight delivery deadlines necessary to rapidly integrate our materials into commercial products."
The global quantum dot market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 63% from 2014 to 2020, due to this fast rate of growth Quantum Materials are set to boost its production levels to 2000Kg per annum in order to meet this increased demand. A key future trend in the global quantum dot market is that government policies and guidelines that regulate dangerous materials in consumer electronic devices will increase the market for Cadmium free quantum dots.
The main companies that operate in the quantum dot market globally are U.S.-based QD Vision, Inc., Nanosys, Inc., alongside UK company Nanoco Group. There are a great deal of new and improved products introduced to the market each year, with partnerships between strategic players being commonplace.
01 quantum dots
The global quantum dot market is forecast to total US$4.7bn by 2020, as a result of the fast-growing Asian Pacific region. However, North America currently accounts for the largest market share of quantum dots globally. Of the many potential applications for quantum dots, from healthcare, defence and industrial, the largest is the consumer segment.
Future adoption of quantum dots is forecast to be high, thanks to manufacturers being able to change not only its size, but also the colour of light and intensity. There was also a strong need by many companies that purchase products in the global quantum dot market for a consistent and reliable supply of Cadmium free the dots. Rising disposable income of individuals across the world is projected to further boost the quantum dot market, as these people will purchase more LCD UHD displays, which often need quantum dots.

Sorry I need you to translate.... thanks
The debate on this board needs to get back on track. It seems to be sinking in the mire.

[Interesting comment about quantum dots in penultimate para at bottom of page 1 - this is where QTMM fits in]
http://www.crcpress.com/authors/i407-frank-boehm
Frank Boehm has been involved with nanotechnology and especially nanomedicine since 1996, which has inspired the development of numerous concepts and designs for advanced nanomedical diagnostic and therapeutic components, devices, and systems to potentially address myriad disease states. His aim is to develop and transform these concepts into real-world applications for global benefit. Over the last decade, Frank has managed to engage the interest of Canadian, U.S. and International researchers in his nanomedical concepts, and in 2009 he formed the startup company, NanoApps Medical, Inc. The aim of this company is to investigate and develop advanced, innovative, and cost-effective nanomedical diagnostic and therapeutic devices and systems for the benefit of individuals in both the developing and developed worlds.
And finally:-
http://io9.com/how-medical-nanotech-will-change-humanity-forever-1476398307
A variety of "smart theranostic" nanoparticles are under development as well, which may be targeted directly to diseased sites to serve multiple beneficial roles as diagnostic, drug delivery and therapeutic monitoring agents. These entities may be composed of such nanomaterials as iron oxide, a variety of biocompatible polymers, or quantum dots, which are semiconducting nanocrystals that can strongly emit light.
The emergence of intelligent and autonomous nanomedical devices may likely still be 10 to 30 years out, as their design will likely require the assistance of Artificial Intelligence (AI), and their fabrication will necessitate the development of sophisticated molecular manufacturing capabilities. Molecular manufacturing may potentially take the form of advanced 3D printers that use various species of atoms and molecules, rather than ink, to build up nanodevices layer by layer according to preprogrammed designs.
http://www.biospace.com/News/avanti-therapeutics-introduces-aayush-biosphere/313218
o Therapeutic Core : - Avanti Therapeutics designed an entirely new class of system to manufacture nanoparticle core which incorporates the drug molecules based on the biomolecular properties (the next generation modular hybrid plasma reactor). The Avanti’s therapeutic cores offer patented hybrid plasma technology to support diverse group of single and combination drugs allow significantly more therapeutic molecules per core.
---------------------
So that's all clear then
Conclusion: The worst series of marketing vids ever made.
And a big "phew!" - I really did think that was a carefully crafted QTMM production and it had left me worried!
I commend this email. I would also like answers as I have also found it far too confusing to follow. The company just has to re-base the conversation and tell us straight:-
1. What equipment have they got now - and what is the capacity?
2. What equipment is on order, delivery awaited - and what is the intended capacity?
3. What equipment can they order quickly, subject to finance and winning the right deals
I should think they have got the first machine and the max. capacity is 2,000 kg, but the Jan 06 message said "The company has made significant capital investment in new automated nanoreactors" (plural).
Anyway, whatever, this POS is rising again.
Yes because the only real comparison we have is Nanoco where the deal was done in similar fashion. I.e someone agrees to build factory and then some while later a production tie up is announced. He we are better placed because the machines do not require a DOW
I don't think the day to day SP has any real relevance except to how good each of us feels right now. There is no revenue and no profit to compute. It is always going to be up and down with day to day market sentiment. The way of the world currently means periods of non news will always lead to negative sentiment and downwards pricing.
We must be due some news very soon - machine arriving (?) , being switched on, and cranked up?
Turn on, Tune in, Cop out
I agree with you, spot on.
Dms
No I don't.
Regards,
JB
This coming after previous filed statements that the product met / exceeded requirements of leading manufacturers. It is good as a done deal IMO that QTMM are lined up for a full production deal (equal to what Nanoco has now), just that the reporting has to be restricted.
Hi Big E
videophile gold?
JB
Does QMC has an answer to counterfeit though. One of the key requirements is for the consumer to he/she is not buying hooky products. How does one do that if the QD signature is cryptically embedded??
Heavens! Have I lost my post about the lava lamp production deal?
All companies in same boat.
What do we all think of the Natcore Tech announcement?
That's what I said - speeded up product development cycles. I am fairly sure that is why we are ramping up, and why good things will come.
GLA
What other board?
Denise- what does eom mean?
Questions, questions and......
ps. I hear that QMCC has landed a MAJOR prodction deal filling lava lamps with flourescent coloured liquid. I've got two on order. It's like paying myself, heh heh heh.
3D Printed Lenslets Used to Improve Efficiency and Cut Costs of Rooftop Solar Panels
https://genesisnanotech.wordpress.com/2015/02/13/3d-printed-lenslets-used-to-improve-efficiency-and-cut-costs-of-rooftop-solar-panels/
I will add to that SE by saying that the company cannot overtake the general market, and that side of things has developed slower than some had previously thought. The important thing though is that the market has arrived now with confirmed display product launches so it is highly significant that QMCC is predicting sales even though there is such a short time frame left to accomplish it. Sales must be almost guaranteed now.
key word - end of "FISCAL" year 2015.
The big machine will only have been running a couple of weeks before end of June 2015, so "limited revenues" is about right.
And "significant revenue" would be about right for the quarter after that:-
"The facility is used to support test production runs, to fine tune the characteristics of the materials for optimized performance in the customer's specific application, and for continued R&D activities"
"Such revenues are expected to be modest at first and will be dependent upon the Company generating purchase orders from potential customers currently under NDAs and evaluating the Company’s technology. As part of this strategy, the Company has engaged in discussions with numerous target customers and has signed a number of NDAs and Sample Agreements to increase the probability of receiving firm orders from one or more of these entities."
