Nanosys has also undertaken extensive testing to prove that QDEF is safe both to workers, consumers and the environment. Each sheet of QDEF contains a trace amount of cadmium sealed within an epoxy matrix and contained inside barrier sheet. Under EPA standardized leach testing, no heavy metals were leached. As a result, QDEF requires no special waste handling instructions and can be recycled or disposed in the same manner as other consumer electronics products.
Hyperion Quantum Dots integrate seamlessly into Nanosys’ current QDEFTM Quantum Dot enhancement film manufacturing process. Nanosys has demonstrated over 90% BT.2020 color gamut using Hyperion Quantum Dots in a sheet of QDEF with cadmium levels below the 100ppm limit established by the RoHS Directive, thereby eliminating the need for an exemption. This is accomplished by combining an entirely cadmium free red Quantum Dot with a green Quantum Dot engineered to have an exceptionally narrow emission spectrum and ultra-low cadmium content.
