Some history on Nitto-Denko/Dr.J/QMC linkage... ...as can be seen here, they've been working-up to this for quite a long time: 2003: Dr.J co-author; http://tdl.libra.titech.ac.jp/journaldocs/en/recordID/article.bib-01/ZR000000260278?caller=xc-search 2006: pgs. 20, 31 & 34: http://www.sandia.gov/~jsimmon/Files/June%2029%20ST%20Caucus%20-%206.20.06-jas4.pdf 2008: N-D LED patent w/ Co-author Jabbour: http://www.google.im/patents/WO2009006550A1?cl=zh 2009: Event co-presenters; http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayAbstract?fromPage=online&aid=7970237&fileId=S194642740001383X 2010: paper w/ funding by N-D: https://www.seas.upenn.edu/~nanosop/documents/InkjetPrinting-ProcessanditsApplications.pdf 2013: abstract; https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/elsevier/fluorescent-deep-blue-and-hybrid-white-emitting-devices-based-on-a-fQ0ik4EJsz Also of note; 2014: N-D patent linked to prior LED patent; https://search.rpxcorp.com/pat/US8721922B2 2015: current N-D patent applications; http://www.faqs.org/patents/assignee/nitto-denko-corporation/ 2015: other N-D interests...no one-trick-pony here; http://www.ndtcorp.com/ So, in-all , I should think it could reasonably be said that the N-D/QMC link has a jump on the 10yr new-tech development time window , insofar as this relationship is concerned.
