Quantum dots are tiny nanoparticles of a semiconductor material which emit light, or fluoresce, when excited with energy. The color of light (wavelength) emitted varies depending on the size of the quantum dot so products can be tuned for specific applications. Their unique properties as highly efficient, next generation semiconductors have led to the use of quantum dots in a range of electronic and other applications, including those in the biomedical, display, and solid state lighting industries. Quantum dots also have applications in solar cells, where their characteristics enable conversion of light energy into electricity with the potential for significantly higher efficiencies and lower costs than existing technologies, thereby creating the opportunity for a step change in the solar energy industry through the use of quantum dots in printed photovoltaic cells.
Quantum Materials Corp. (QTMM) has the exclusive license to a patented chemical process that permits it to produce high performance, heavy metal-free QDs and TQDs using a lower cost and environmentally friendly solvent for greater manufacturing flexibility. Quantum has also developed a proprietary method that it believes will allow it to mass produce large quantities of QDs and TQDs in a continuous flow process at lower costs than other competing processes. This technology is protected by patents Quantum acquired from Bayer AG. It also has the exclusive license to a patented screen printing technique for manufacture of quantum dot enhanced electronic displays and other electronic components. Management believes that these proprietary technologies position Quantum to become a leader in the overall quantum dot industry and a preferred supplier of quantum dots and other nanoparticles to an expanding range of applications.
