Whatever tech is used the end result is the greater uptake of CFQD imo.

I think Flexible and Printed Quantum Dots will be doing very well in the not to distant future.

"There has been a lot of discussions over the years about both flexible displays and the possibility of printing these displays. Leaders in the quantum dot field say that both of these scenarios are strong possibilities.

“The short answer is, yes, quantum dots can absolutely be deployed in flexible displays,” said Nanosys’ Kempt. “In fact, all of the research we are doing today for flexible displays relies on printing techniques. Nanosys is leading the way in the development of EL QD displays. We have already achieved better than 10% external quantum efficiency (EQE) for our blue cadmium free EL-QD emitter materials. This is a key milestone in the development of EL QD displays. For context, the best commercially available blue OLEDs are not much better. However, there is more work to do before EL QD displays are fully commercialized. We expect to see displays in the three- to five-year time frame.”

“Due to the flexible nature of quantum dots, this technology can be applied to all shapes and sizes, from large TVs to small smartphones, and every size display in between, as well as flat or curved devices,” Wiggins observed. “Nanoco is in discussion with a number of customers for potential work in innovative areas such as QD color filters and QD EL, which are future applications of QD technology. As with all new applications, there are certain hurdles that must be overcome in order to commercialize the technology.

“In the case of QD color filters, we have a different set of challenges to QD films,” added Wiggins. “For example, do we use photolithography or inkjet printing techniques to deposit the QDs? What is the compatibility of QDs to solvents and photoresists? What are the requirements for absorption to thickness etc.? Our research, testing and deep experience in CFQD film and technology development enables us to work through this.”

I have noticed an increase in Dow Job vacancies at Cheonan

"In terms of supplier selection, TCL pays special attention to the supplier's technological innovation, response speed, and supporting services. It always emphasizes that only good service and innovative manufacturers can work together to achieve a win-win situation.

　　In the early days, Kangdexin mainly provided single materials such as prism film and diffusion film for TCL. With the good cooperation between the two parties for many years, Kangdexin not only provides TCL with ultra-thin laminated film, high color gamut quantum dots, and health protection blue light conversion. A variety of black technology materials, but also through the in-depth research and development of TCL product innovation needs to provide a total solution for display materials. In addition to the close cooperation between the two sides in the business and TS technical support level, the two parties also carried out continuous cooperation and improvement on the QCC quality project.

　　TCL highly appreciates the strength of R&D's R&D capabilities, integrated supply capabilities, and localization services in the field of materials technology. The cooperation between the two parties continues from point to line and from line to face, and advocates “production generation, R&D generation, reserve generation”. . In the past three years, Kang Dexin has twice won the “Technology Innovation Award” from TCL."

Seem to recall edelman saying things were not going well with osram back end of 2016 and they were unlikely to continue cooperation.

I believe DOW supply KDX http://kdx.zrtec.net/company/news_show/id/417.html The green environmental protection concept of cadmium-free materials will be increasingly supported and welcomed in the world. In the near future when the European Union banned cadmium in 2019, cadmium-free quantum dots have become an excellent opportunity for first-line brand companies. In 2017, Hisense initiated joint development with Kangdexin in the field of cadmium-free Quantum Dots, which is also regarded by Hisense as its own technical iteration and valuable exploration.

Vortex HQ is a housing estate in Burgess Hill West Sussex, so alas it does indeed look like old Budmaster stock.

My Mistake it does actually look like a new offering,

Sorry thats old stock no longer in production, subject covered on this board in detail some time ago. Did Nanoco ever update their website ref. lighting.

http://kdx.zrtec.net/business/photoelectricityg "Display Materials Division is the only full-range optical film supplier from 3 inches to 100 inches in China. It is also the only cadmium-free quantum dot solution in China and the largest domestic supplier of laminated film. Through intensified cooperation with more than 100 industry and terminal frontline customers in more than 80 countries and regions around the world, we have continuously achieved product and business innovation and upgrades, leading to the development of the industry."

For any newcomers the significance of this is DOW supplies KDX with CFQDs made under licence from Nanoco.

"KDX highlights LCDs, OLEDs, quantum dots, 3D displays, touch controls, coated products, light control and other optoelectronic materials, and through corresponding workshops, discusses new technologies and new technologies with customers in the industry. Products and new application directions, combined with customers to make corresponding product and technology front-end preparations. At the first KDX-BOE Innovation Day held at the 8.5th generation of the East Beijing Plant in 2017, Hao Junling, the director of the strategic planning department of BOE, stated that innovation is the blood of BOE scale development and the source and driving force of long-term sustainable development of BOE. In recent years, with the continuous expansion of cooperation, Kangdexin has developed into one of the leading suppliers in BOE. In the course of rapid growth and development, Kant's new innovative and high-quality display materials products have laid a more solid advantage for BOE in the display industry. In the past, both parties have conducted continuous and stable cooperation in the field of optical films, leading the innovation and progress of LCD technology together. The achievements of the cooperation between the two parties are obvious to all and the future of innovation needs to be continued. In the future, BOE hopes to strengthen the cooperation in the new technology and new fields together with the continuous supply of optical film materials, and create a new and bright future together."
