Brief interview with Squires from CES2015: Ken Werner did a comprehensive CES 2015 review http://informationdisplay.org/IDArchive/2015/MarchApril/ShowReviewCES2015.aspx If you don't have a free subscription, you can sign up on the website. This is from the article - (There is a Nanosys and QDVision section too) Quantum Materials Corp.: Steve Squires, founder and CEO of Quantum Materials Corporation (San Marcos, Texas), and Toshi Ando, Senior Director of Asian Business Development, wanted to talk about micro-reactors. The continuous production from micro-reactors is much more economical than the batch processing of other manufacturers, Squires says. “Continuous production is disruptive without a doubt.” Late last year, Quantum Materials VP for R&D David Doderer said, “One continuous-flow microreactor can produce 100 kg of highly uniform tetrapod quantum dots/day, or around 30,000 kg/year. Assuming a design that coats the entire display surface with QD film, this is enough to create approximately 10-million QD-LED TVs, outpacing projected market demand over the next few years.” At CES, Squires announced the company is increasing its annual production capacity to 2000 kg beginning in Q2. Squires thinks the QD-in-photoresist approach is very interesting. In addition to displays, Squires is attracted to applications in anti-counterfeiting and lighting, and says there are so many interesting possibilities that the company must be disciplined and not try to chase too many of them. “I think we are in an enviable position as a company right now,” he says.
