LGs' new G5 Smartphone uses QDot display...or Not[?]
"The LG G5 has a 5.3” IPS LCD display (2560×1440) using Quantum Dots"

*But based on further DD & feedback on this , it would appear that this may-well be an erroneous report. The LG G5 specs spell-out a QHD [quantum] display...which may-well be the same use of the word 'quantum' as-in their prior LG G4 phone. Which was better defined in detail in the following Pocket-lint tech-analysts' review from last year:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"How is Quantum Display different from Quantum Dot?
Quantum Dot technology, found in some TVs, requires a film or tube layer which would mean a big bezel in phones. As such Quantum Dot screens have not been used on smartphones since it would not only mean a larger bezel but also a thicker panel.
Quantum Dot uses blue LEDs while the Quantum Display uses both blue and white LEDs. Quantum Display uses potassium and nitrogen based compounds in combination with the blue LED to achieve red and green colours where Quantum Dot uses that tube or film layer.
Both display types are based on the transition of energy levels found in quantum physics' Band Gap Theory. That is why they each use the Quantum name."
