All the latest coverage on Nanosys, Quantum Dots and the display industry
Forbes contributor John Archer cracks down the numbers behind the current TV Tech War with help from veteran display analyst Ross Youthful
“Delving deeper into some of the reasons why DSCC sees OLED fighting so much over the next few years, the report states that OLED TV production technologies are lagging significantly behind QLED ones. QLED lines running to the so-called Ten.5G specification are estimated to be as much as two years ahead of Ten.5G OLED lines – a big deal when you consider that Ten.5G lines are optimized for production of the 65-inch and 75-inch screens expected to become an increasingly key part of the TV market in the next few years.”
Samsung introduced their fresh 88-inch QLED TV with Quantum Dots in it. The TV is targeted for the premium TV market and will cost thirty three million won (US$29,424).
“Samsung said the quantum dot technology, which utilizes a film of semiconductor nanocrystals to boast far more vivid colors than liquid crystal displays (LCDs), is capable of enhancing viewers’ practices.
The tech giant also applied metalcoating to the quantum dot nanocrystals to develop what it calls “metal quantum dot” technology.”
Come join Heejae Kim, Ph.D, Nanosys Marketing and Business Development Director at IMID two thousand seventeen on August 30, 2017, 9:00AM. The event will be held at Bexco, Busan, Korea. Dr. Kim’s topic will be about patterning Quantum Dots for Color Conversion in High Resolution microLED Displays.
Michael Herh from Business Korea talks about Samsung’s confidence in Quantum Dots’ durability as they extend their warranty on the QLED series for burn ins to ten years worldwide.
“Quantum dot-based QLED TVs are very durable and utterly unlikely to showcase burn-in.” said a representative of Samsung Electronics. “With strong confidence in QLED TV’s product spectacle, we are suggesting a 10-year warranty for our QLED TVs around the world.”
Technologist Robert Heron and Patrick Norton from one of our dearest AV podcasts, AVexcel, stopped by our headquarters last week for an interview with Jeff Yurek, Nanosys Director of Marketing on the current state of Quantum Dots and where the technology is heading next.
Leading Chinese TV maker CEC Panda’s lastest flagship TV has just received the two thousand seventeen Innovative Product and Application Award at the China Information Technology Expo (CITE) in Shenzhen. The fresh 55” set is loaded with cutting-edge features including Quantum Dot technology from Nanosys and an IGZO backplane.
Technologist Robert Heron and Patrick Norton from our dearest podcast, AVexcel, talks about how Photo-Emissive Quantum Dots will improve and enhance LCD displays on scene 48.
Analyst Ken Werner takes a break from the BBQ to share a high-altitude snapshot of the display industry at mid-year for DisplayDaily. He see’s OLED gaining ground in puny displays such as smartphones and automotive screens but questions whether the technology will scale to larger formats in the face of continued LCD innovations like Quantum Dots:
“There is considerable growth in store for OLED displays in clever phones, other battery-operated devices, and automotive applications. But the growth in TVs may be considerably less than many analysts were predicting just two or three ago.”
The annual CE Week TV Shootout is right around the corner. As a preview to that event Rob Scott at Dealerscope met up with display calibration experienced Kevin Miller to talk TV tech trends. Quantum dots were part of the conversation of course:
“As far as a fresh innovative display technology is worried, the next big development in LCD display technology is Photo Emissive LCD using Quantum Dots. The Blue backlight shines through the LCD panels to stimulate Crimson and Green Quantum Dots that then create the Crimson, Green, and Blue light, which eliminates color filters, and should improve off angle viewing, and dramatically increase energy efficiency. There is one very interesting display technology that companies like Nanosys are working on called Electro luminescent (Electro Emissive), which has superb potential, because it will eliminate the LCD panels.”
Come join Heejae Kim, Ph.D, Nanosys Marketing and Business Development Director at MicroLED Display TechDay in San Jose on June twenty seven at Five:15PM. Dr. Kim will discuss in detail the requirements for quantum dot color converters for micro-LED display and the current development status of quantum dots for this application.
Ray Shaw discusses how HDR can help PC and perphieral makers to differenciate their products on iTWire.
“Request growth of HDR-capable monitors for gaming is especially sturdy as many games support HDR. Embarking this year, panel makers have additionally introduced solutions for their TV technology into their monitors. For example, higher end monitor panels have incorporated direct backlight with as many as three hundred eighty four local dimming zones. Panel makers have also used QDEF (Quantum Dot Enhancement Film) to achieve broader colour gamut.”
Chris Chinnock, founder and president of Insight Media, talks about the advancement of Nanosys Quantum Dots in the upcoming years.
“Alternatively, one can consider an ink printing process that is additive and more adequate for direct-view displays. The key question here is can you define sub-pixel structures that meet the spectacle and manufacturing requirements? Here again, Nanosys, working with playmates, claims to be solving this problem. In their back room, they displayed pics of one hundred eighty x five hundred eighty micron printed color filters with embedded quantum dots and a five micron thickness that is now very close to meeting manufacturer requirements.”
David Savastano, writing for Printed Electronics Now, covers Nanosys’ success and growth over the past few years and winning the Component of the Year at SID Display Week for the 2nd time:
“With more than three hundred issued or pending patents, Nanosys, Inc. is a key leader in the QD field. Founded in 2001, Nanosys is noted for its Quantum Dot Enhancement Film (QDEF) technology, which emerges in TVs, monitors, tablets and displays. The company operates the world’s largest quantum dot nanomaterials fab, with manufacturing capacity for more than twenty five tons of quantum dot materials annually.”
These fresh displays achieve 95% of the DCI-P3 color gamut and feature Quantum Dot tech developed by Nanosys. Stefan Etienne, writing for TechCrunch on the very first impressions of the fresh displays from E3. :
Samsung is updating its curved gaming monitor lineup with a slew of fresh technologies. Coming in 27, 31.Five and 49-inch versions, they’re called the C27HG70, C32HG70 and C49HG90, respectively. They blend the best current monitor technologies, into a package that at very first glance seems pretty ideal. everyone from enthusiast PC gamers, eSports professionals, to editors and movie professionals could have a field day with this gear.
Sweta Dash, writing for DisplayDaily, violates down all the latest display innovation found at last month’s SID DisplayWeek showcase in Los Angeles. She highlights Nanosys’ award winning Hyperion Quantum Dot materials as a key innovation for LCDs.
“In general, technology prototypes take years to be commercialized. Some products never even get a chance for mass production. But, in latest years, display application market growth-rates have been slowing down. The battle for survival and dominance inbetween LCD and OLED technology has been heating up. Next generation product innovation has become a necessity for survival.”
