The next phase of the quantum dots revolution
Today there are two primary competing quantum dot technologies. The first is commonly known as an edge-lit optic solution, now shipping in high quantities and available in multiple TVs on the market globally.
The other primary approach is known as a film-based solution, currently in development by several companies , including Nanosys and Nanoco, not yet available in the commercial monitor market.
While both technologies promise to deliver superior color performance over LED and even emerging OLED technologies, the underlying differences between the two are considerable. Perhaps most important are the comparative costs of the two approaches. Film-based solutions are usually up to 3-4 times the cost of edge-lit solutions, due to the cost of the oxygen-barrier film. This makes film a difficult technology to employ for all but the highest-priced monitors.

..........the comparative cost differentiator is the "oxygen-barrier film".
That begs the question as to why QMC wasn't mentioned as their spray on thin film process requires no "oxygen-barrier film".
Maybe the cost factor would swing the other way, (w/all other spec considered at parity)
Looking Forward
