For those that said that self emitting QLEDs are never going to happen...
Jeff Yurek, director of marketing and investor relations for Nanosys Technology, said Nanosys is at work on several advances in quantum dot technology at the same time. Nanosys is developing and implementing three different advances in quantum dot technology, which will each be available in the market offering different levels of performance.
The first is the system implemented in the QLEDs currently
The 2nd is Photo-Emissive quantum dot technology which will move beyond the quantum dot-coated film layer used in current implementations and will be used like color filters today. This is expected to be coming in the next 3-5 years, Yurek said, “but we could see the first Photo Emissive QD products start shipping as early as next year.”
“We call this Photo Emissive Quantum Dot because these displays will be emissive in that you are looking directly at the emitter layer (just like an OLED). We call it photo because, unlike other emissive displays, the pixels are being pumped photopically instead of electrically,
3rd Nanosys is also moving rapidly toward market introduction of its Hyperion quantum dot technology, which Yurek said he expects to start showing up in devices later in the year or two.
Hyperion is a solution that will help quantum dot displays achieve a large percentage of the B.T. 2020 color space, with a solution that uses minimal amounts of toxic cadmium. That’s because the blue and the green primaries for B.T. 2020 are very close together, requiring a narrower green.
More in the future..
Nanosys continues to develop for more distant introduction Electro-Emissive Quantum dot technology as the future of direct emissive displays. The technology will will enable printed flexible displays using low-cost materials.
Samsung has a number of investments in the quantum dot field, not the least of which is its equity stake in Silicon Valley-based Nanosys Technology. Nanosys worked closely with Samsung engineers on developing the new Q Series sets
This is the timeline for Nanosys and as you can clearly see, they are working towards self emitting Quantum Dot technology!!
