QD exp, the link you found between parlyene, QDs and solar cells is interesting and unexpected. https://knowridge.com/2017/01/solar-cells-as-light-as-a-soap-bubble/ The fact that KISCO LTD’s Specialty Coating Systems (SCS) is a or is the world leader in parylene coating makes it even more interesting.

Additional info to be considered in the evaluation of the possibilities between QMC with KISCO LTD and Uniglobe Kisco Inc (UKI) from their websites, some previously posted:

The most obvious is that UKI has updated their website with an expand page on quantum dots with direct references to QMC and their processes and products.
uniglobekisco.com/products/quantum-dots

Under Quantum Materials Products and Projects, UKI included:

Quantum Dots (QD) in Commercial Quantities
• RoHS compliant Cadmium-free QD
• Group II-VI and III-V Hybrid Quantum Dots
• High Performance Cadmium-core Tetrapod QD
• QDX™ Quantum Dots designed to reduce or remove the need for barrier layers in Display production runs
Uniform Nanoparticles Future Development
• Nanoscale Metal Oxides
• Nanoscale Precious Metals
• Catalysts
• Other Nanoparticles

To me the Future Development above could be a follow on to one of QMC’s key milestones from 2016, “Expand product offering to introduce nano-material solutions for broader opto-electronics markets”.

UKI also included specific info on this page on “Solterra Renewable Technologies, Inc.-- Future Market – Quantum Dot Solar Cells (QDSC)”.

Other info on UKI website includes:
Photovoltaic (Solar) Materials-- Demand for green energy is increasing rapidly here in the U.S. as well as worldwide. As the concerns about global warming increases, PV (Photovoltaic) technology is expected to become one of the key solutions to create a sustainable society. We are contributing to the PV industry by providing new materials to improve PV efficiency and reliability.

Similar information is also found on the KISCO LTD website, but without the direct references to QMC or Solterra yet (maybe in future?). This is not surprising since KISCO LTD website http://www.kisco-net.com/company/index.php is in Japanese with a kind of rough translation to English version available. However, this info is available and I find it interesting:
