It's late in the day but saw this on another site I follow.
Citing its own sources, thematic resource OLED-Info reported that Samsung plans to acquire the company QD Vision, which specializes in technology development quantum dots used in LCD panels.
"As stated, the purchase cost Samsung a $ 70 million. For a relatively small fee, the South Korean manufacturer will be able to accelerate its own development in this area. As we recently reported, Samsung Electronics expects to start producing televisions QLED in 2019.
Looks like the rumors are true then and one less player in the field.If Samsung wanted to purchase Quantum as well ,any guesses to the offering price ? Maybe just the rights to display tech only would be fine by me as that area seems ultracompetitive,just leave the rest of the sub markets off the table !
