Thanks for sharing this. What a great article!
Well to be fair, half of those views are from me.
It's a reach to say this has a very, very little chance of succeeding. Would you be saying the same thing if the share price was $1.00 under the exact same conditions? We keep hearing more and more about quantum dots and QMC has been in the game for years. Is there a great chance QMC will be successful? Probably not, but I'd say there's a good chance a large company swoops them up or forms a JV with them. At $0.08 a share, I'd say this company is well worth the risk. Any revenue will raise the share price at this point, and it is coming.
That was an insanely random QMC namedrop. Weird.
That's no the CEO, but thanks anyway.
I'm having trouble find any videos of Darren Lambert. Can you link the video you are referring to?
Thank you very much for the information!
Wow, he is that accessible?
If you don't mind me asking, how were you able to speak to the CEO?
Sorry if this has already been posted here, I haven't been able to keep up with all of the posts.
Lightwave Logic champions polymer-based modulators
29 September 2017
Electro-optic polymers could help other optical materials become more successful, according to Lightwave Logic, a development stage company.
Lightwave Logic has developed a high-performance Mach-Zehnder polymer modulator suitable for 50Gb/s modulation, the company announced at ECOC 2017 in Gothenburg Sweden. This breakthrough will enable arrays of 4 x 50G polymer modulators, which can be combined with PAM-4 encoding to build 400Gb/s data centre optics.
Speaking at the ECOC Market Focus Forum, Lightwave Logic’s CEO Michael Lebby claimed that polymers could break down technology cost barriers for integrated photonics and enable transceivers to meet the ‘dollar per gigabit’ target for data centre transceivers originally promoted by Facebook.
“We feel polymers will be critical to next-generation photonics platforms,” he said.
Polymers have a long history in telecom with US government agencies and industrial players – Akzo Nobel, AT&T Labs, Du Pont, IBM, Intel and more – collectively investing hundreds of millions of dollars to develop electro-optic polymers in the 1980s and 1990s. Despite the interest, no commercial products were launched and interest waned.
Temperature stability held polymers back, Lebby acknowledged. Telecom operators demanded compliance with Telcordia GR-468 Generic Reliability Assurance Requirements for Optoelectronic Devices Used in Telecommunications, which were designed to ensure a minimum ten-year lifetime and require thermal reliability up to 100°C, a condition that electro-optic polymers find hard to meet.
The thermal stability problem hasn’t necessarily gone away, but the market has changed, Lebby contends. While polymers are still unlikely to find acceptance in telecom applications, the datacom world is more open to new technologies that help them meet their cost-performance targets, he said. Temperature specifications are more reasonable because the data centre environment is well controlled, product lifetimes are three to five years rather than 10 to 20, and photonic integration is essential.
Lebby joined Lightwave Logic earlier this year to help the company move from research to product development (see Dr Michael Lebby to become CEO of Lightwave Logic). The company is recruiting engineers and upgrading its test and characterisation facilities and expects to see “steady stream of improvements to our polymer platform over the next year”.
The technology unveiled at ECOC is a waveguide-based Mach Zender modulator capable of modulation speeds up to 50Gb/s that lays the foundation for products compliant with 400 Gigabit Ethernet. Lightwave Logic plans to partner with transceiver vendors to bring the technology to market.

I think the majority of other display companies are waiting to see how these quantum dot TVs sell before jumping into the game. I hope they see decent sales through the holidays. It's hard to sell a lot of QLED TVs Because they are expensive. A supplier like QMC will assuredly make them much more affordable, but these companies first need to get on board!!
GRWC is NOT GRWG.
It's all good. Nothing to be happy about, but I think the world is getting ready for quantum dots. It's only a matter of time.
From NT 10-Q:
"Net loss for 2017 is estimated at approximately $7,810,000 compared to a net loss of $6,105,950 for 2016."
Thanks for the heads up guys. I'll save my party hat and coffin for future news.
I will cross my fingers. A delay could be a good thing or bad thing, right?
Is there a chance they are late?
Hey guys, I appreciate all of the insight and updates, but when you talk about this company like it's a sure thing to make us rich, it is a little offputting. I of course am not well-informed like you guys, and maybe that is why I am not absolutely jumping for joy, although I am very excited. Please just keep in mind that LWLG is trading on OTC and some of us have had bad experiences. I am not saying this is the case, and I'm sure it isn't, but the way some of you are talking about LWLG is in the same behavior as pumpers. I know you fellas are excited, but it might scare off potential investors. Best of luck to this company and to all. I will happily accept your "I told you so" if this comes to fruition.
I haven't been here nearly as long as you guys have. Cmon, it's gotta be a little refreshing seeing the newbie so full of hopes and dreams. Let me live these out before I join you burnt out investors!
If you are referring to my post, I never said we are working with Samsung, I didn't even imply that. I was just trying to show that one of the QLED issues seems to have been solved, helping the fight between QLED and OLED.
Do we have a rough estimate as to how long the process takes to get this final permit?
Yeah this float is awesome. They could even open up 25m more and I wouldn't bat an eye lol. Once Q3 earnings come in, this thing should take off. I wouldn't be surprised if this hit $10 by the end of next year.
I am loving this stock and am very surprised it is not well known yet. I guess everyone is busy watching Canadian marijuana or worrying about Terra Tech. In my opinion, this is the safest marijuana play in the US. There is a chance for a large retailer buyout. Scott's Miracle Grow is also a possible buyer in the future.
According this excerpt from an article, Samsung seems to have solved the problem with deeper blacks in QLED TVs. This was one of the big arguments for OLEDs over QLEDs. Uh oh. This should only help QLEDs become the mainstream in the future.
According to Samsung, the Samsung Q8C offers up improved color performance by displaying the DCI-P3** color space accurately. Samsung also says that QLED technology is capable of showcasing 100 percent color volume expressing all colors at any brightness level. Even the most subtle of color differences are visible at peak luminance (between 1,500 and 2,000 nits).
Samsung says that by adding a new material to their nano-sized semiconductor Quantum dots, they were able to “dramatically” improve color accuracy and luminance efficiency. This new “metal Quantum dot material” is supposed to give the Samsung Q8C deeper blacks and rich details regardless of how the scene is lit or the lighting conditions of the room. HyunSuk Kim, Samsung’s President of the Visual Display Business had this to say about Samsung’s QLED TV’s:
2017 will mark a major paradigm shift in the visual display industry, ushering in the era of QLED. With the advent of QLED TV, we provide the most true-to-life picture on screen. We have been successful in solving for past inconsistencies in the viewing experience and consumer pain points while redefining the fundamental value of TV.

Dr. Lebby will be attending the Enlighten Conference in Coventry Oct. 11 & 12.
Excerpt from optics.org PR:
"Conference bridges the world of academia and industry.
There are many conferences around Europe that do not create the environment conducive to meeting and interfacing with technologists from industry. The remit of the programme organisers at the Enlighten Conference has been to approach the building of their specific meetings taking into the consideration the co-location with the PHOTONEX EUROPE exhibition, an appealing forum providing great networking opportunities.
One meeting that is set up expressly with the intention of giving industry the opportunity to discover how academia can assist industry to benefit from silicon photonics in new devices and systems is a new silicon photonics/compound semiconductor meeting. This is aptly called Silicon Photonics adoption by Industry. The take-away from the meeting will be considerable knowledge about how much adoption there has been in of this technology in the UK.
This meeting is led by a team from the Optoelectronics Research Centre (University of Southampton), led by Prof Graham Reed, with the assistance of Prof Michael Lebby, Lightwave Logic Inc, Colorado, USA, Dr Wyn Meredith, Compound Semiconductor Centre (CSC), Cardiff and Prof Alwyn Seeds, University College London, and includes contributions from key research groups around the UK and companies currently adopting silicon photonics technologies.
It features several prestigious speakers including Dr Andrew Rickman OBE, CEO and Chairman of Rockley Photonics and Prof Diana Huffaker, Director of Institute for Compound Semiconductors."
Wow that is brutal, thanks.
Where did you hear that?
Thanks for the answers guys!
Can someone please help me understand what "goo" is? I keep seeing it talked about. Is this the patented perkinamine?
Here's a link to a recent Forbes article about Samsung's QLED TV's. My phone is jealous of the QLED displays so it refuses to copy/paste the whole article.

Thank you sir.
When someone finds a video/article/interview about Lightwave Logic at ECOC 2017, can you please share? I have been searching all over but haven't found anything yet.
Wow, look at the large companies represented at the conference: IBM, Intel, Cisco, Hewlett-Packard.
Wow, this is huge news!
Cool, thanks for that.
Your sarcasm is killing me lol. The funny thing is that alot of people think you're being serious.
How do you know we have five thin film partners? Knowing we have five partners would make me very happy, but I looked at page 24 and did not see the "(our five thin film partners)". Can you elaborate?
Does anybody know if they will stream any of the talks or have a video of them online after?
Just snatched up more shares. What an exciting time!!!
