I'll help with some proper DD.

"Watch China New model QD based TVs will be out after Halloween"
--The top selling TV brands in China include Chanhong, Hisense, and TCL (yes there are others but these are 3 of the main players). All 3 are currently using Nanosys' dots in their QD models.

"Samsung isn’t the only company licensing the Nanosys technology. 3M is using it to manufacturer Quantum Dot Enhancement Film (QDEF), which it supplies to TV manufacturers. Hisense’s ULED TV and Changhong’s QLED TV, both introduced at CES, incorporate the 3M quantum dot film."

"Watch cross batch inconsistency with Nanosys"
--They have almost every major display maker using their product...I think they'd know if there was inconsistency...

"So Far QMC is the only Mfg with continuous flow Generator"
---Doesn't matter one bit if NO ONE WANTS TO BUY THE DOTS!


"THE BEAKER COMMENT...ITS APPROPRIATE "
--http://spectrum.ieee.org/view-from-the-valley/semiconductors/materials/behind-the-scenes-at-the-nanosys-quantum-dot-factory-in-milpitas-california

"The whole process looks a lot like brewing beer—and the dots go out the door in pony kegs. (Well, the canisters looked a lot like pony kegs.)
More on that process: In about half a dozen large metal tanks—nearly the size of those you might see in a brewpub, not a giant commercial brewery"

"Then, by readjusting the conditions, the system stops the formation of crystals and triggers the beginning of crystal growth. A computer controls the process according to a programmed “recipe;” staff members monitor the growth of the crystals by shining light on them and measuring the wavelength of the fluorescence; the smallest crystals don’t fluoresce at all, then, as the crystals get larger, the wavelength changes. Nanosys stops the process when the fluoresced light hits the target wavelength, which varies depending on what particular display industry standard that the batch of film is designed to meet. For example, for a film that would meet the new color standard for Ultra High Definition (UHD) broadcasts that would be a 640-nm red and a 525-nm green wavelength. After crystal growth stops, the system evaporates the solvent that enabled the dots to easily flow through the brewing equipment, and mixes the remaining material with an epoxy slurry before pouring it into small kegs for shipping."

Final quote from their CEO is good because someone just brought this up....be wary of those in other countries stealing IP

"So that’s another reason to keep manufacturing close to home: to keep tight reigns on that knowledge.
Says Hartlove: “This is not a labor game. This is not a China game. This is a know-how game.”

Sounds pretty automated to me....
