Quantum Dots
According to market research firm IDTechEx, "Quantum dot-enhanced LCD panels are set to capture a 14-percent share of the TV market by 2020." Quantum dots (QDs) are light-emitting semiconductor nanocrystals that can convert light from one wavelength to other specific wavelengths, creating intense red, green and blue colors. The dots can support large LCDs, making them good candidates for TVscreens and other applications. Backlit QD-LCDs are garnering interest and investment because they greatly improve image quality while costing less than OLED, as the LCD fabs are already in place, many of them fully depreciated. Pioneering companies in this space include Nanosys, which embeds quantum dots into sheets, Quantum Materials, which prints the dots on film, and QD Vision, whose technology routes light from blue LEDs through tubes filled with red and green quantum dots to create pure white light.

....Nanoco, (with their CFQDs) wasn't listed. Do you think that was an oversite by "Sri Peruvemba, CEO of Marketer International and Head of Marketing for the Society for Information Display" or maybe their CFQDs aren't doing as well as expected?
QMC seems to have the edge imo.
QDV seems to be limited in product applications.
Nanosys embedding process would seem to cut qd efficiency down and be more expensive than a spray on process.
....with QMC's PR about QDX tm 260 deg Celsius and it would seem we have the start of a runaway mkt leader in the making
