We are particularly excited about 2015 when, as previously announced, we expect Dow to begin mass production of our quantum dots in Cheonan, South Korea, by mid-year.
"We are currently producing quantum dots from our own production facility in Runcorn to satisfy demand from customers and potential customers ahead of Dow's mass production facility in Choenan coming on line.
