Samsung Considers Quantum Dot Technology as Strategic Arms for New Industry -

Samsung Electronics has made an active research investment in the quantum dot sector in the last five years through its
Visual Display (VD) Business Division and Advanced Institute of Technology. Jang said, “When competitors considered a
next-generation product, Samsung started the R&D in quantum dots considering a next-next-generation product. We expected
that the non-cadmium quantum dot market would open up so we made a bold decision to stop R&D in cadmium quantum dots
early and start new R&D in non-cadmium quantum dots.” Meanwhile, Samsung will continue to boost joint research with
great scholars at home and abroad in order to strengthen its original technology. Currently, the company are working
together with major quantum dot research institutes, such as U.C. Berkeley Lab, Los Alamos National Laboratory, MIT and
Seoul National University.
