it would make us look like the "weak sister" and increase competition for small investors.

Still waiting for the display maker to come out publically. Maybe during CES ??

SAN MARCOS, Texas, July 28, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Quantum Materials Corp (OTCBB:QTMM) today announced a joint development agreement (JDA) with one of the world's leading manufacturers of display panels.

The companies will be working together to develop next-generation Quantum Dot-based display technologies. Research and development teams of both organizations will be working closely together to address display application challenges and generate solutions enabled through advances in Quantum Dot technology. Terms and specifics of the agreement were not disclosed.

Quantum Materials recently obtained heat resistance to 260 degrees Celsius for their QDX™ Quantum Dots, allowing for high-temperature film application and encapsulation in resins, silicones and other polymers, opening a realm of application possibilities for design engineers.

"We are honored to enter into this agreement and value our ongoing collaboration," said Quantum Materials Founder and CEO Stephen Squires. "Our partner's engineering and design teams have proven again and again their ability to develop innovative display solutions using leading-edge technologies and then bring them successfully to market. We look forward to working with them to provide the foundation with which they are developing the displays of the future."

An IPO would also raise additional, maybe significant capital for these companies.

All interesting thoughts. One thing to bare in mind is that whatever investor sentiment is and whichever company seems to come out on top, eventually all companies will try to build the most robust I.P. portfolio. For that reason alone i will hold onto my chunk of qtmm.

It may be that Squires never intended QMC to be a producer of dots but rather a Company that the top dog can't afford not to buy. Personally i'd rather see qtmm dividends flowing in long after i've retired, but if they are bought out by a QD Vision or Nanosys made public, i'd hold that ticker too as this industry is warming up fast.

While i think the tetrapod dots will be great for many applications, i don't think the display industry wanted anything to do with them as they emit two wavelengths of light (as i understand it). I don't think QMC had anything to offer the display industry that larger and "better established" companies didn't already have before the advent of QDX. That said, i believe we are going to see QLED tech born of QDX which will be the final nail in the OLED coffin.
